77) 2, 6, 5, 14, 11, 26, 17 , ?

Alternate starting with first: +3 , +6 , +6
Now starting with second number: +8, +12 , +12 . so ans = 26+12


78) 115, 100, 86, 74, 65, 60, ?

Difference : 15, 14, 12,9, 5 Now difference of these : 1, 2, 3, 4, next 5
So 5-5=0 Ans=60-0=60


79) 8 5 9 7 2 25 5 1 16 8 6 ?

(8 -5=3 ) -> 3^2=9 (7-2=5)->5^2= 25 5 1 16 (8- 6=2) so answer 2^2=4


80) -5 1 -11 23 29 17 -20 -14 ?
