Answer : 2. "32"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 32 Explanation: Here the given series follows a pattern that, 22 - 0 = 4   32 - 1 = 8   42 - 2 = 14 52 - 3 = 22 62 - 4 = 32 Hence, the missing number is 32     Method 2 :: The difference between 4 and 8 is 4, the difference between 8 and 14 is 6, the difference between 14 and 22 is 8. So the next difference between 22 and the next number will be 10 since it follows (4,6,8,10 - add +2 each time) Hence, 22 + 10 = 32 is the missing number.

Answer : 2. "168"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 168 Explanation: we can select the 5 member team out of the 8 in 8C5 ways = 56 ways. The captain can be selected from amongst the remaining 3 players in 3 ways. Therefore, total ways the selection of 5 players and a captain can be made = 56x3 = 168 ways.   (or)   Alternatively, A team of 6 members has to be selected from the 8 players. This can be done in 8C6 or 28 ways. Now, the captain can be selected from these 6 players in 6 ways. Therefore, total ways the selection can be made is 28x6 = 168 ways.
