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 : 2. "0"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 0 Explanation: = log tan10+log tan890 + log tan20+ log tan880+⋯⋯+log tan450 = log [tan10 × tan890] + log [tan20 × tan880 ] +⋯⋯+log1 ∵ tan(90-θ)=cotθ and tan 450=1 = log 1 + log 1 +.....+log 1 = 0.
