Full solution

Q. Type the missing number in this sequence:\newline55, 66, 88, 1111, _\_, 2020, 2626
  1. Identify Pattern: Identify the pattern in the sequence.\newlineWe need to look at the differences between consecutive numbers to see if there is a consistent pattern.\newline65=16 - 5 = 1\newline86=28 - 6 = 2\newline118=311 - 8 = 3\newlineThe differences are increasing by 11 each time. Let's see if this pattern continues with the next numbers in the sequence.
  2. Predict Next Difference: Predict the next difference and find the missing number.\newlineIf the pattern continues, the next difference should be 44.\newline11+4=1511 + 4 = 15\newlineSo, the missing number should be 1515.
  3. Verify Continuation: Verify the pattern continues after the missing number.\newlineLet's check if the difference between 2020 and the missing number (1515) is 55, which would continue the pattern.\newline2015=520 - 15 = 5\newlineThis fits the pattern, as the differences are increasing by 11: 1,2,3,4,51, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  4. Confirm Last Difference: Confirm the pattern holds for the last difference in the sequence.\newlineFinally, let's check if the difference between 2626 and 2020 is 66, which would be the next number in the pattern of differences.\newline2620=626 - 20 = 6\newlineThis confirms the pattern is consistent throughout the sequence.
