- Let's analyze the series: 352, 288, 252, 236, ?

- Look at the differences between consecutive numbers:

- 352 to 288: Decrease of 64

- 288 to 252: Decrease of 36

- 252 to 236: Decrease of 16

- Notice the pattern in the differences: 64 (which is 8²), 36 (which is 6²), 16 (which is 4²).

- The differences are decreasing by squares of even numbers: 8, 6, 4.

- Following this pattern, the next difference would be 2², which equals 4.

- Subtract 4 from 236 to get 232.

Option 3: 232
