(Q6-10) In each of the following questions, two rows of numbers are given. The resultant number in each row is to be worked out separately based on the following rules and the questions below the rows of numbers are to be answered. The operations of numbers progress from the left to the right.

Rules:
(i) If an even number is followed by another even number they are to be added.
(ii) If an even number is followed by a prime number they are to be multiplied
(iii) If an odd number is followed by an even number, the even number is to be subtracted from the odd number
(iv) If an odd number is followed by another odd number the first number is to be added to the square of the second number
(v) If an even number is followed by a composite odd number,the even number is to be divided by the odd number.

6)I. 84 21 13
II. 15 11 44
What is the half of the sum of the resultants of the two rows?
a)116
b)132
c)232
d)236

Answer a)116
84 / 21 = 4 [Rule v] 4 * 13 = 52 [Rule iii] R1 = 52
15 + (11) ^ 2 = 136 [Rule iv] 136 + 44 = 180 [Rule i] R2 = 180
(52 + 180) / 2 = 116

7)I. 45 18 12
II. 22 14 9
What is the product of the resultants of the two rows?
75
48
45
60

Answer d)60
45 – 18 = 27 [Rule iii] 27 – 12 = 15 [Rule iii] R1 = 15
22 + 14 = 36 [Rule i] 36 / 9 = 4 [Rule v] R2 = 4
= 15 * 4 = 60

8)I. 12 7 16
II. 79 28 15
What is the difference between the resultants of the second row and the first row?
a)276
b)176
c)100
d)156

Click to View Answer
Answer b)176
12 * 7 = 84 [Rule ii] 84 + 16 = 100 [Rule i] R1 = 100
79 – 28 = 51 [Rule iii] 51 + (15)^2 = 276 [Rule iv] R2 = 276
276 – 100 = 176

9)I. 36 13 39
II. 77 30 7
What will be the outcome if the resultant of the second row is divided by the resultant of the first row?
12
16
8
6

Answer C)8
36 * 13 = 468 [Rule ii] 468 / 39 = 12 [Rule v] R1 = 12
77 – 30 = 47 [Rule iii] 47 + 49 = 96 [Rule iv] R2 = 96
R2/R1 = 96/12 = 8

10)I. 65 11 12
II. 15 3 11
What is the sum of the resultants of the two rows?
a)366
b)66
c)264
d)462

Click to View Answer
Answer d)462
65 + 121 = 186 [Rule iv] 186 + 12 = 198 [Rule i] R1 = 198
15 + 9 = 24 [Rule iv] 24 * 11 = 264 [Rule ii] R2 = 264
198 + 264 = 462
