Paragraph: This set contains additional number series questions, some of which are in Roman numerals. These items differ from Sets 1,2 , and 3 because they ask you to find the number that fits somewhere into the middle of the series. Some of the items involve both numbers and letters; for these questions, look for a number series and a letter series. Question: Look at this series: 83, 73, 93, 63, \_\_\_\_ , 93, 43, . . . What number should fill the blank?
Options
- A33
