Answer: B) 1962 Explanation: Arithmetic Series ::   An Arithmetic Series is a series of numbers in which each term increases by a constant amount.   How to find the sum of the Arithmetic Sequence or Series for the given Series ::   When the series contains a large amount of numbers, its impractical to add manually. You can quickly find the sum of any arithmetic sequence by multiplying the average of the first and last term by the number of terms in the sequence.   That is given by Sn = n(a1 + an)2 Where n = number of terms, a1 = first term, an = last term   Here Last term is given by an = a1 + n-1d where d = common difference   Now given Arithmetic Series is    2, 5, 8, 11,...   Here a1 = 2,  d = 3, n = 36    Now, an= a1 + n - 1d a36= 2 + 36 - 13 = 105 + 2 = 107    Now, Sum to 36 terms is given by   S36 = 36(2 + 107)2 = 36 x 1092 = 39242 = 1962       Therefore, Sum to 36 terms of the series 2, 5, 8, 11,... is 1962.

Answer: C) 18.5 Explanation: The given series pattern follows   17       9       10       18.5       35       90   × 0.5 + 0.5,   × 1 + 1,   × 1.5 + 1.5,   × 2 + 2,   × 2.5 + 2.5   So here    17x0.5 + 0.5 = 9   9x1 + 1 = 10   10x1.5 + 1.5 = 16.5   16.5x2 + 2 = 35   35x2.5 + 2.5 = 90   Here the odd man in the given series is 18.5

Answer: A) 36 & 90 Explanation: the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ?? Second Series : 12,18,26, ?? So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply :   Pattern of Series 1 :   6 divide 4 : 1.5 Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2 Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5 So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on So first series will look like 4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90   Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ??   Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12) Series will be like 12,18,26,36.   For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90

Answer: A) Salman Rushdi Explanation:

Answer: A) first person limited Explanation: A first person point of view is said by a character who is invoved in the events of the story and unlike third person point of views will actually use words such as 'we' or 'I'.    The Great Gatsby is told from the point of view of Nick Carroway. He is from the Midwest, but narrates the story after it takes place in the East. As such, he is an outsider, and tends to judge what he experiences in the East based on his midwestern ideas and values.   Nick makes an effort to assure the reader that he is nonjudgmental and completely honest. This is ironic, because he is very judgmental and opinionated.
