Identify the missing numbers 256,252 _ _ 240 _.

To find the missing numbers in the sequence 256, 252, _, _, 240, you can use the following method.

The first number is

256

The second number is

252

The difference between 256 and 252 is

256 - 252 = 4

The difference between 252 and the next number is also

4

So the next number is

252 - 4 = 248

The difference between 248 and the next number is also

4

So the next number is

248 - 4 = 244

The difference between 244 and 240 is also

244 - 240 = 4

The difference between 240 and the next number is also

4

So the next number is

240 - 4 = 236

So the missing numbers are 248,244 and 236 and the complete sequence is 256,252,248,244,240,236.

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

This is not correct because it has the numbers in the reverse order compared to the identified sequence

236,244,248

The first number, 235, doesn’t follow the pattern of subtracting 4 from the previous term. Therefore, option B is not correct

235,244,248

This is not correct because it doesn’t follow the consistent pattern of decreasing by 4. In this sequence, the second difference is not 4

236,244,249

This is correct because it follows the established pattern of decreasing by 4 in each step

248,244,236

Option

D
