The resultant of each row is to be worked out separately based on the following rules, and the question below the row of numbers is to be answered. The operations of numbers in each row progress from left to right. Rules: (i) If an odd number is followed by another odd number, they are to be multiplied. (ii) If an even number is followed by another even number, the first number is to be divided by the second even number. (iii) If an even number is followed by the perfect square of an odd number, the first number is to be subtracted from the second number. (iv) If an odd number is followed by an even number the two are to be added. (v) If an even number is followed by an odd number which is not a perfect square, the square of the odd number is to be added to the even number. 11. 96 16 81 = x 11 15 18 = y What is the value of y-2x? 1) 108 2) 33 3) 105 4) 36 5) None of these 12. 28 49 13 = x 37 12 22 = y What will be the sum of the resultant of the two rows? 1) 108 2) 244 3) 102 4) 344 5) None of these 13. 18 5 17 = x 64 8 11 = y What will be the value of x + y? 1) 189 2) 129 3) 69 4) 169 5) None of these 14. 9 15 50 = x 12 25 24 = y What will be the value of x/y? 1) 18 2) 8 3) 5 4) 6 5) None of these 15. 56 14 9 36 12 7 What will be the difference between the resultants of the two rows? 1) 14 2) 21 3) 5 4) 26 5) None of these Answers: 1.
