Answers
Answer:
6000,5999,5998,5997,5996,5995,5994,5993,5992,5991,5990
5989,5988,5987,5986,5985,5984,5983,5982,5891,5980
Given:
A series: 6000, 5998, 5994, _, 5980
To find:
The missing term
Solution:
The missing term is 5,988.
We can find the term by following the given steps-
We know that the series follows a particular pattern.
Each term of the given series is less than the previous term by a multiple of 2.
The multiples of 2 subtracted from terms in the series are 2, 4, 6, 8.
The first term of the series=6,000
The next term will be obtained by subtracting the smallest multiple of 2.
The second term of the series=6,000-2=5,998
The next term will be obtained by subtracting the second smallest multiple of 2.
The third term of the series=5,998-4=5,994
The next term will be obtained by subtracting the third smallest multiple of 2.
The fourth term of the series=5,994-6=5,988
The next term will be obtained by subtracting the fourth-smallest multiple of 2.
The fifth term of the series=5,988-8=5,980
Therefore, the missing term is 5,988.
