In the following sequence 11, 88, 16, 80, 21, 72, _ , _ , _ , _ the blanks are two digit numbers. No number in the blank ends with
(i) 1
(ii) 4
(iii) 6
(iv) 7


Given:

Given sequence is 11, 88, 16, 80, 21, 72, _ , _ , _ , _

To do:

We have to find the numbers in the blanks do not end with which among the given options.

Solution:

The given sequence is formed by two series together.
The first series is 11, 16, 21......

The second series is 88, 80, 72.....

In the first series,

$a=11, d=16-11=5$
Therefore, the next two terms in the series are $21+5=26, (21+5)+5=31$.
 Similarly,

In the second series,

$a=88, d=80-88=-8$
Therefore, the next two terms in the series are $72-8=64, (72-8)-8=56$.

The sequence so formed is 11, 88, 16, 80, 21, 72, 26, 64, 31, 56....

As we can see the numbers in the blanks do not end with 7 among the given options.
