Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The missing number is 82.
The numbers in the sequence are increasing by 2, except for the number in the middle, which is decreasing by 3. Therefore, the missing number is 82, which is 3 less than the number before it and 2 more than the number after it.
A. 85 is incorrect because it is 3 more than the number before it.
B. 79 is incorrect because it is 3 less than the number after it.
C. 87 is incorrect because it is 2 more than the number before it and 3 less than the number after it.
