Answer : 2. "72"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 72 Explanation: With close observation, you will note that each number in the list is in the middle of two prime numbers. Thus: 4 is in the middle of 3 and 5, 6 is in the middle of 5 and 7, 12 is in the middle of 11 and 13, 18 is in the middle of 17 and 19, 30 is in the middle of 29 and 31. 42 is in the middle of 41 and 43, 60 is in the middle of 59 and 61. Therefore, the next number would be the one that is in the middle of the next two prime numbers, which is 72 (which is in the middle of 71 and 73).

Answer : 1. "167"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 167 Explanation: The given number series is 3, 5, 13, 43, 167 3 3 x 1 + 2 = 5 5 x 2 + 3 = 13 13 x 3 + 4 = 43 43 x 4 + 5 = 177 (not equal to 167) Hence, the odd number in the given number sequence is 167.
Q: In a Plane there are 37 straight lines, of which 13 pass through the point A and 11 pass through the point B. Besides, no three lines pass through one point, no lines passes through both points A and B , and no two are parallel. Find the number of points of intersection of the straight lines. 2218 05b5cc7d1e4d2b41977751281

Answer : 2. "535"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 535 Explanation: The number of points of intersection of 37 lines is C237. But 13 straight lines out of the given 37 straight lines pass through the same point A. Therefore instead of getting C213 points, we get only one point A. Similarly 11 straight lines out of the given 37 straight lines intersect at point B. Therefore instead of getting C211 points, we get only one point B. Hence the number of intersection points of the lines is C237-C213-C211 +2 = 535

Answer : 2. "315360000 sec"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 315360000 sec Explanation: We know that, 1 year = 365 days 1 day = 24 hours 1 hour = 60 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds. Then, 1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 seconds. = 8760 x 3600 1 year = 31536000 seconds. Hence, 10 years = 31536000 x 10 = 315360000 seconds.
