Question

In the following sequence of instructions, 1 stands for Run, 2 stands for Stop, 3 stands for Go, 4 stands for Sit and 5 stands for Wait. If the sequence were continued, which instruction will come next?

• A. Wait
• B. Sit
• C. Go
• D. Run

Hint:

For repeating pattern problems, identify the cycle and use modular arithmetic or position counting to find the next item.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Observe the number pattern given in the question.
The full sequence is:
44545345314531245453453
Step 2: Identify the repeating cycle (if any).
Let's group and look at the structure: 44545345314531245453453 You can observe that the sequence:
44545345314531 is repeating in parts and continues as:
245453453 — still follows that initial repetitive sequence. The pattern "44545345314531" is 14 digits long. The full string given is 23 digits long. So after repeating the full 14-digit pattern once, we are at digit 15. Let’s count to see what's at position 24 if the sequence continues. Sequence:
44545345314531245453453 → total digits = 23 Next digit (24th) in continued pattern would be the 1st digit of the sequence again, which is 4.
Step 3: Use instruction mapping.
1 = Run
2 = Stop
3 = Go
4 = Sit
5 = Wait
But we are asked “what instruction will come next” → next digit is 4, which stands for Run.
