since number 4 is repeated at every third place it is interpolated means removed so now,
2 3 [4] 5 6 [4] 8
2+1= 3
3+2= 5
5+1= 6
6+2= 8
8+1= 9
So answer is 9 and as 4 is repeated for third place so 4 should be placed 9+2= 11 and so on.
2 3 [4] 5 6 [4] 8
2+1= 3
3+2= 5
5+1= 6
6+2= 8
8+1= 9
So answer is 9 and as 4 is repeated for third place so 4 should be placed 9+2= 11 and so on.

In question 2 3 4 5 6 4 8.
2 3 then 4 common 5 6 then 4 common.
So 8 9 then 4 is common.
2 3 then 4 common 5 6 then 4 common.
So 8 9 then 4 is common.

Every 3rd number is 4. Remaining 2 numbers are in sequence.
Like 2 3 4, 5 6 4 and last 8 9 4.
So answer is 9 & 4.
Like 2 3 4, 5 6 4 and last 8 9 4.
So answer is 9 & 4.

As per my understanding, Every third position is 4 and every number is added with 1 and 2 respectively.
