Sequence Pattern Analysis

The question provides a sequence of digits: 5, 8, 1, 5, 6, 1, 1, ?, 3, 5, 9, 6, 2, 1, 0. We need to find the value of the question mark (?) based on an underlying pattern.

Identifying the Pairing and Summing Pattern

Let's analyze the sequence by grouping consecutive digits into pairs and calculating the sum of the digits within each pair:

  • Pair 1: The digits are 5 and 8. Their sum is $5 + 8 = 13$.
  • Pair 2: The digits are 1 and 5. Their sum is $1 + 5 = 6$.
  • Pair 3: The digits are 6 and 1. Their sum is $6 + 1 = 7$.
  • Pair 4: The digits are 1 and ?. Their sum is $1 + ?$.
  • Pair 5: The digits are 3 and 5. Their sum is $3 + 5 = 8$.
  • Pair 6: The digits are 9 and 6. Their sum is $9 + 6 = 15$.
  • Pair 7: The digits are 2 and 1. Their sum is $2 + 1 = 3$.
  • Pair 8: The last digit is 0. Assuming it forms a pair, the sum is $0$.

The sequence of sums generated is 13, 6, 7, ($1 + ?$), 8, 15, 3, 0.

Determining the Missing Number

We observe that the sum of the digits in the very first pair (5, 8) is 13.

Since 13 is present as an option and matches this initial calculation, it suggests the pattern relates to the sum of the first pair.

Therefore, the value that should replace the question mark (?) is 13.

Conclusion

Following the pattern where the missing number equals the sum of the first pair of digits:

$ ? = 5 + 8 = 13 $

The missing number is 13.
