Solutions

Solution (1-5):
Sol.

S1. Ans. (b)
S2. Ans. (a)
S3. Ans. (d)
S4. Ans. (c)
S5. Ans. (c)

Solution (6-10):
Sol. Different operations are applied on the numbers in every step.
Step I: Even number is divided by 2 and then subtracted by 2. Odd number is divided by 3 and then subtract by 3.
Step II: add 1st and 2nd no. (+), difference of 2nd and 3rd no. (-) and so on. This operation starts from left end and continues till the addition of 7th and 8th no. So, the sequence is: +, –, +, –, +, –, +.
Step III: Sum of all the digits of each number
Step IV: Odd Number is multiplied by 2, Even number is multiplied by 3.
