D. 6098
E. 6100

What number comes next in the sequence 5234, 5235, 5236, 4178, 4179, 4181, 5954, 5956, 5959, 6085, 6088, …?

Answer: Let’s look for patterns by dividing the sequence into two separate parts.

  1. First pattern: 5234, 5235, 5236

    • These numbers increase by 1.
  2. Second pattern: 4178, 4179, 4181

    • These numbers first increase by 1, then by 2.
  3. Third pattern: 5954, 5956, 5959

    • These numbers first increase by 2, then by 3.
  4. Fourth pattern: 6085, 6088

    • These numbers increase by 3.

Based on this pattern, the next increase should be by 4. So we add 4 to 6088:

$$6088 + 4 = 6092$$

Thus, the next number in the sequence is A. 6092.

Summary: The sequence follows a pattern of incremental increases that change over segments. In this case, the next increase should be by 4, resulting in the number 6092.
