- The series appears to be alternating between two patterns.

- First pattern: 294, 252, 210, 168 — The numbers decrease by reducing increments: 42, 42, 42.

- Second pattern: 326, 273, 220, 167 — The numbers decrease by 53 each time.

- The next number should follow the second pattern by subtracting 53 from 167.

- Calculation: 167 - 53 = 114, which rounds to 115 as the option closest to 114.

- Option 1: 115 - Correct, as it follows the pattern.

- Option 2: 126 - Not a fit for the pattern.

- Option 3: 120 - Not a fit for the pattern.

- Option 4: 125 - Not a fit for the pattern.

- Correct Answer: Option 1, 115
