The relation is the descending the series by 7 and the next term is 33.
We have to determine, find the pattern and what numbers come next
We have given that, 61, 54, 47, 40.
What is the series?
A series is, roughly speaking, a description of the operation of adding infinitely many quantities, one after the other.
61-54=7
54-47=7
47-40=7
So the next term is
40-7=33
Therefore the relation is the descending the series by 7 and the next term is 33.
