• Ans=8.
  1000-200=800
  200-40=160.
  Find the similarity b/w 800&160..(800*(2/10)=160, 160*(2/10)=32)then next term will be 32.
  So 40-32 = 8..

• Each number is divided by 5.
  Rule = (1st number / 5 = 2nd number) (2nd number / 5 = 3rd number)....
  Now, (1000 / 5 = 200), (200 / 5 = 40), (40 / 5 = 8)...
  So answer is a = 8.
