Explanation:

Step1: Analyze problem 7a

We look at the first two - digit numbers from the left. The first two - digit number is 45 (since we are looking at two - digit numbers from 01 - 50). The next two - digit number is 92. But 92 is out of the range 01 - 50. So we skip it and take the next two - digit number 10.

Step2: Analyze problem 7b

After using 45 and 10 for the first student, we start from the next digit. The next two - digit number is 22. The next two - digit number is 89 (out of range 01 - 50), so we skip it and take 23.

Step3: Analyze problem 8

We look at two - digit numbers from 01 - 60. The first two - digit number is 43. The next two - digit number is 68 (out of range 01 - 60), so we skip it. The next two - digit number is 09. The next two - digit number is 87 (out of range 01 - 60), skip it. The next two - digit number is 50. The next two - digit number is 13. The next two - digit number is 09 (already used, skip). The next two - digit number is 27. The next two - digit number is 65 (out of range 01 - 60), skip. The next two - digit number is 61 (out of range 01 - 60), skip. The next two - digit number is 58. The next two - digit number is 71 (out of range 01 - 60), skip. The next two - digit number is 12.

Answer:

7a) 45, 10
7b) 22, 23

1. 43, 09, 50, 13, 27, 58, 12
