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: B) 50 Explanation: 15 girls are absent => b = 2(g-15)...... eqn...(1) 45 boys are absent => g - 15 = 5(b-45).....eqn...(2) => g = 5(b-45) + 15 => b = 2((5(b-45)+15)-15) => b = 2(5b - 225 + 15 - 15) => b = 2(5b-225) => b = 10b - 450 => 9b = 450 => b = 50 so from equation(2) g - 15 = 5(b - 45) => g - 15 = 5(50-45) => g - 15 = 5(5) => g = 25 + 15 => g = 40 Therefore, the number of boys = 50 and girls = 40

Maturation refers to the ways in which we grow and develop throughout the lifespan.    Maturation is the process of becoming mature; the emergence of individual and behavioral characteristics through growth processes over time.

Answer: C) 232 Explanation: Here 2nd number = (1st number x 1 )+1  3rd number = (2nd number x 2 +2)  4th number = (3rd number x 3 )+3 and so on..   Therefore, 5th number = (4th number x 4) +4 =57 x 4 + 4 =232.

Answer: D) it is either homogenous or heterogenous Explanation: A mixture is the blending of two or more dissimilar substances.   Characteristics of a Mixture: 1. It has No formula. 2. It is an impure sustance 3. They can be mixed in any ratio. 4. The properties of the mixture are the properties of its constituents. 5. Constituents can e easily seperated by physical methods.eg: Heating, Drying, Crystallization, Distillation etc... 6. It is either homogenous or heterogenous.   A major characteristic of mixtures is that the materials do not chemically combine. Mixtures can be divided into those that are evenly distributed (homogeneous) and those that aren't (heterogeneous).
