How many 5’s are there which are in between two even numbers.4 3...
Understanding the Problem
We need to identify how many times the number '5' appears between two even numbers in the given sequence.
Given Sequence
4, 3, 5, 6, 4, 5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 5, 4, 6, 7, 5, 2, 6, 9, 8, 5, 1, 2, 4, 5
Identifying Even Numbers
First, let's identify the even numbers in the sequence:
- Even numbers are: 4, 6, 4, 2, 4, 8, 4, 6, 2, 8, 2, 4
Finding '5's Between Even Numbers
Now we'll look for instances of '5' that are located between pairs of even numbers:
- The sequences are:
- 4, 3, 5, 6 (5 is between 4 and 6)
- 4, 5, 2 (5 is between 4 and 2)
- 4, 5, 8 (5 is between 4 and 8)
- 5, 4, 6 (5 is between 4 and 6)
- 5, 2, 6 (5 is between 2 and 6)
- 5, 1, 2 (not between even numbers)
- 4, 5 (not between even numbers)
Counting Valid Instances
From the sequences above, we find that the valid instances of '5' between even numbers are:
- The '5's between (4, 6)
- The '5's between (4, 2)
- The '5's between (4, 8)
- The '5's between (4, 6)
This gives us a total of 3 valid instances.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C', which states there are 3 occurrences of '5' that are situated between two even numbers.
