Answer 1

To identify the missing numbers in the given pattern, let's examine the sequence:

120, 5, 48, 70, ?, ?, ?, ?, 120, 5, 48, 70

From observing the pattern, we can notice that it follows a specific sequence:

1st number: Multiply the following number by 2 and subtract 10: 5 * 2 - 10 = 0
2nd number: Add 43 to the previous number: 0 + 43 = 43
3rd number: Add 27 to the previous number: 43 + 27 = 70

Using this pattern, we can continue:

4th number: Multiply the previous number by 2 and subtract 10: 70 * 2 - 10 = 130
5th number: Add 43 to the previous number: 130 + 43 = 173
6th number: Add 27 to the previous number: 173 + 27 = 200
7th number: Multiply the previous number by 2 and subtract 10: 200 * 2 - 10 = 390

Therefore, the missing numbers are: 0, 43, 130, 173, 200, 390
