To solve this question, we need to identify the pattern or sequence in the given numbers and continue it to find the missing number.
Looking at the given numbers: 72, 53, 34, 25, 29, we can observe the following pattern:
- Starting from 72, each number is obtained by subtracting 19 from the previous number.
Using this pattern, the next number in the sequence would be obtained by subtracting 19 from the last number, which is 29.
Therefore, the missing number is 29 - 19 = 10.
Out of the given options, none of them is 10. Hence, the correct answer is not provided in the options.
