Q. Type the missing number in this sequence:92,84,76,____,60,52
Identify pattern: Identify the pattern in the sequence. The difference between consecutive terms appears to be consistent. Calculate the difference between the first two terms: 92−84=8.
Verify consistency: Verify the pattern by checking the difference between the next pair of terms: 84−76=8. The pattern of decreasing by 8 is confirmed.
Apply pattern: Apply the pattern to find the missing number. Subtract 8 from the third term (76): 76−8=68.
Check sequence: Check the sequence with the newly found number: 92,84,76,68,60,52. Verify if the pattern holds for the rest of the sequence. Calculate 60−52=8. The pattern is consistent.
