EXPLANATORY ANSWERS

16. (3) By adding 31, 33, 35, 37, 39... we get the nos
∴ Reqd. no. = 336 + 39 = 375
17. (4) 10 22 8 24 6 x
There are two series, 10, 8, 6,... 8, 22, 24 ∴ x = 26
18. (1) All are cubes 33, 43, 53, 63, 73
∴ Reqd. no = 83 = 512
19. (5) By adding 11.5, 12.5, 13.5, 14.5, 15.5, we get nos
∴ Reqd. no. = 112.5 + 15.5 = 128
20. (2) By adding 11, 22, 33, 44, 55 we get the series
∴ Reqd. no. = 206 + 55 = 261
