Q. Type the missing numbers in this sequence:\newline4343, _____, 6161, _____, 7979, 8888
  1. Find Pattern: To find the missing numbers in the sequence, we need to determine the pattern. Let's look at the numbers we have: 4343, 6161, 7979, and 8888. We can start by finding the difference between the consecutive numbers that we know.\newlineCalculate the difference between 6161 and 4343.\newline6143=1861 - 43 = 18
  2. Calculate Differences: Now, let's calculate the difference between 7979 and 6161.7961=1879 - 61 = 18
  3. Confirm Pattern: It seems that the sequence increases by 1818 each time. To confirm this pattern, let's check the difference between 8888 and 7979. \newline8879=988 - 79 = 9\newlineThis is half of 1818, which suggests that the last step might be an increase by a smaller amount. However, since we are looking for a consistent pattern, we will first assume the sequence increases by 1818 each time and check if it fits.
  4. Find First Missing Number: Let's find the first missing number by adding 1818 to 4343.\newline43+18=6143 + 18 = 61\newlineThis matches the next number in the sequence, so our pattern is correct so far.
  5. Find Second Missing Number: Now, let's find the second missing number by adding 1818 to 6161.\newline61+18=7961 + 18 = 79\newlineThis matches the next number in the sequence, confirming our pattern.
  6. Correct Mistake: However, we have made a mistake. We have already been given the number 6161 in the sequence, and we should have added 1818 to the first missing number instead. Let's correct this by adding 1818 to the first missing number we calculated.\newline43+18=6143 + 18 = 61 (This is the number given, not the first missing number.)\newlineTo find the first missing number, we should add 1818 to 4343 again.\newline43+18+18=7943 + 18 + 18 = 79\newlineBut this is incorrect because 7979 is already a number given later in the sequence. We need to find a number that fits between 4343 and 6161.
