Direction (11-15): There are two rows given and to find out the resultant of a particular row we need to follow the following steps: -
Step 1: If an odd number is followed by an even number then the resultant will be the addition of both the numbers.
Step 2: If an even number is followed by a perfect square then the resultant will be the difference of that square number and the even number.
Step 3: If an even number is followed by another even number (but not a perfect square) then the resultant will be the addition of both the numbers.
Step 4: If an even number is followed by an odd number (but not a perfect square) then the resultant comes by multiplying the numbers.
Step 5: If an odd number is followed by another odd number then the resultant will be the division of first number by the second number.
Q11. Find the sum of the resultant of two rows?
8 49 10
8 7 36
Even number is followed by a perfect square so=49-8= 41
41 10
an odd number is followed by an even number= 41+10=51
In row-2
Even number is followed by an odd number so=8*7= 56
56 36
Even number is followed by a perfect square = 56-36=20
So, the addition of resultant of two rows = 51+20 = 71
Q12. Find the difference of the resultant of two rows?
5 8 14
14 12 7
An odd number is followed by an even number so=5+8= 13
13 14
An odd number is followed by an even number so=13+14= 27
In row-2
Even number is followed by an even number so = 14+12= 26
26 7
Even number is followed by an odd number so = 26*7= 182
So the difference of resultant of the two rows = 182-27=155
Q13. Find the value of X if the addition of the resultant of first and second row is 32?
4 25 X
7 12 6
Even number is followed by an perfect square number so=25-4 = 21
21 X
In row-2
Odd number is followed by an even number so = 7+12 = 19
19 6
An odd number is followed by an even number so=19+6= 25
The addition of the resultant of the both rows = 32
So, resultant of first row is 32-25=7.
Now for row-1 21 X = 7
So, the only possible value of X can be 3.
Q14. Find the value Y if the difference is the resultant of two rows is 113?
8 18 7
25 5 Y
Even number is followed by another even number so=8+18= 26
26 7
Even number is followed by an odd number so=26*7 = 182
In row-2
an odd number is followed by another odd number= 25/5=5
5 Y
Row 1 - Row 2=113
182 – Row 2=113
Row 2= 69
So, the value of ‘Y’ must be = 64
Q15. Find the multiplication of the resultant of two rows?
35 7 5
16 11 4
An odd number is followed by an odd number so=35/7= 5
