Explanation:

- The series follows a specific pattern. Let's break it down:

- Start from the first term and observe the next ones.

- 67 to 83: Increase by 16 (83 = 67 + 16)

- 83 to 71: Decrease by 12 (71 = 83 - 12)

- 71 to 91: Increase by 20 (91 = 71 + 20)

- 91 to 80: Decrease by 11 (80 = 91 - 11)

- 80 to 118: Increase by 38 (118 = 80 + 38)

- The pattern alternates between increasing and decreasing numbers.

- The increase values are 16, 20, and 38, while the decrease values are 12 and 11.

- Following the pattern, after an increase by 38, a decrease is expected.

- Now, calculate the next number:

- 118 to ?: Decrease by 22 (since 22 is a familiar decrement)

- 118 - 22 = 96. This follows the logical decrease pattern of the series.

- Options:

- 116

- 96

- 100

- 98
