Q. Type the missing number in this sequence:54, 52, _____, 48, 46, 44, 42
Identify pattern: Step 1: Identify the pattern in the sequence.The sequence decreases by a constant amount. Let's find the difference between the first two numbers.Calculation: 54−52=2The sequence decreases by 2 each time.
Apply pattern: Step 2: Apply the pattern to find the missing number.The third number in the sequence should be 2 less than the second number.Calculation: 52−2=50
