Full solution

Q. Type the missing number in this sequence:\newline3939, _\_, 2929, 2424, 1919, 1414
  1. Identify Pattern: Identify the pattern in the sequence.\newlineLooking at the numbers 2929, 2424, 1919, and 1414, we can see that each number is 55 less than the previous one. This suggests a pattern of subtracting 55 to get to the next term.
  2. Determine Missing Number: Determine the missing number.\newlineTo find the missing number before 2929, we need to add 55 to 2929 because the pattern involves subtracting 55 from each term to get the next term.\newlineCalculation: 29+5=3429 + 5 = 34
  3. Verify Pattern: Verify the pattern with the next term.\newlineTo ensure that the pattern is consistent, we can check if subtracting 55 from the missing number gives us the next number in the sequence, which is 2929.\newlineCalculation: 345=2934 - 5 = 29
  4. Check Sequence: Check the entire sequence.\newlineNow that we have the missing number, we can check the entire sequence to ensure that the pattern holds true for all terms.\newline395=3439 - 5 = 34 (our missing number), 345=2934 - 5 = 29, 295=2429 - 5 = 24, 245=1924 - 5 = 19, 195=1419 - 5 = 14
