Q. Type the missing number in this sequence:4, 16, _, 256, 1,024
Identify Pattern in Sequence: We need to identify the pattern in the sequence. Let's look at the relationship between the first two numbers: 16 is 4 squared (42). We should check if the subsequent numbers follow a similar pattern.
Check Relationship Between Numbers: If we assume the pattern is that each number is the square of 2 raised to increasing powers, then the third number should be 2 raised to the power of 4 (since 16 is 24). Let's calculate 24.24=2×2×2×2=16
