Full solution

Q. Type the missing number in this sequence:\newline55, 66, 88, 1111, 1515, _\_, 2626, 3333
  1. Identify Pattern: Identify the pattern in the sequence.\newlineLook at the differences between consecutive terms to see if there is a pattern.\newline65=16 - 5 = 1\newline86=28 - 6 = 2\newline118=311 - 8 = 3\newline1511=415 - 11 = 4\newlineIt seems that each term is increasing by one more than the previous increase.
  2. Predict Next Increase: Predict the next increase in the sequence. If the pattern of increases continues, the next increase should be 55, because the last increase we found was 44.
  3. Calculate Missing Number: Calculate the missing number in the sequence.\newlineAdd the predicted increase to the last known number in the sequence.\newline15+5=2015 + 5 = 20\newlineThe missing number should be 2020.
  4. Verify Pattern Continues: Verify the pattern continues after the missing number.\newlineTo ensure that the missing number is correct, check if the pattern continues with the next known numbers.\newline2020 (the missing number we found) + 66 (the next increase, since the last was 55) should equal 2626, which is the next number in the sequence.\newline20+6=2620 + 6 = 26\newlineThe pattern holds, so the missing number is likely correct.
