8, 08, 08, 080 comes just after..
A.8, 08, 08, 099
B.8, 08, 08, 081
C.8, 08, 08, 079
D.None of these

Answer 1

Hint: The given expression is in a number series, so we will find out the number series preceding the given series since it is said that the given number series comes just after which of the given options.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We are given a number series as: 8, 08, 08, 080 and we need to find the series which comes just before this.
Now, if we look at the options, we will determine it by checking if they come just before the given number series or not.
Option (A): 8, 08, 08, 099
This series comes after 8, 08, 08, 080 but it does not comes just before it since $099 > 080$
Hence, option (A) is not correct.
Option (B): 8, 08, 08, 081
This series comes just after 8, 08, 08, 080 but not just before it since $081 > 080$
Hence, option (B) is also incorrect.
Option (C): 8, 08, 08, 079
This series comes before 8, 08, 08, 080 since $079 < 080$ and also $079 + 1 = 080$ , therefore, it comes just before the given number series.
Hence, option (C) is correct.
Option (D) can’t be true since option (C) is correct that 8, 08, 08, 080 comes just after 8, 08, 08, 079.

Note: In this question, you can directly find the value of the number series preceding the given series 8, 08, 08, 080 by subtracting 1 from the last term since it will only vary. You can also use the concept of predecessor and successor to solve this question.
