Show Correct Answers

B. 121

192– 9 = 352
172– 7 = 282
152– 5 = 220
132– 3 = 166
112– 1 = 120
so, 120 should be in place of 121

D. 5/8

The series is
(1 * 2)/(2 * 3) = 1/3,
(2 * 3)/(3 * 4) = 1/2,
(3 * 4)/(4 * 5) = 3/5
(4 * 5)/(5 * 6) = 2/3,
(5 * 6)/(6 * 7) = 5/7,
(6 * 7)/(7 * 8) = 3/4
so, 5/7 should be in place of 5/8

121 + (1 + 1)2= 125
125 + (1 + 5)2= 161
161 + (1 + 1)2= 165
165 + (1+5)2= 201

90 × 1.2 = 108
108 × 1.2 = 129.6
129.6 × 1.2 = 155.52
155.52 × 1.2 = 186.624
