neither arithmetic nor geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

16, 12, 32, 92, ...

For arithmetic , there should be a common difference

16, 12, 32, 92, ...

Lets find the difference of two consecutive terms

12-16 = -4

32 - 12 = 20

92 - 32 = 60

Common difference is not same so it is not arithmetic

For Geometric , there should be a common ratio

16, 12, 32, 92, ...

Lets find the ratio of two consecutive terms

$\frac{12}{16} = \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{32}{16} = 2$

$\frac{92}{32} = \frac{23}{8}$

Common ratio is not same , so it is not Geometric

So answer is neither arithmetic nor geometric
