Q-1) It the above series is re-arranged in the reverse order, which will be the eleventh element to the left to the sixteenth element from the left end?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
11th to the left of 16th from left means 5th from the left. But the sequence has been reversed. Therefore, required element will be 5th from right in the original sequence.

In each of the following questions, two rows of numbers are given. The resultant number in each row is to be worked out separately based on the following rules and the questions below the rows of numbers are to be answered. The operation of numbers progress from the left to the right.
Q-4) 15 8 21 p 3 27
If 'p' is the resultant of the first row, what will be the resultant of the second row?
| 15 | 8 | 21 |
| p | 3 | 27 |
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
| $R_1$ | = 15 | 8 | 21 |
| = 7 | 21 | [Apply Rule (v)] | |
| = 28 | [Apply Rule (i)] | ||
| Hence p | =$R_1$ = 28 | ||
| Now, $R_2$ | = p | 3 | 27 |
| = 28 | 3 | 27 | |
| = 31 | 27 | [Apply Rule (ii)] | |
| = 58 | [Apply Rule (i)] |

Q-5) 85 17 35 16 19 r
If 'r' is the resultant of the first row, what will be the resultant of the second row?
| 85 | 17 | 35 |
| 16 | 19 | r |
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
| r = $R_1$ | = | 85 | 17 | 35 |
| = | 5 | 35 | [Apply Rule (iv)] | |
| = | 40 | [Apply Rule (i)] | ||
| Now, $R_2$ | = | 16 | 19 | r |
| = | 16 | 19 | 40 | |
| = | 35 | 40 | [Apply Rule (ii)] | |
| = | -5 | [Apply Rule (v)] |

(d)
(e)
| d = $R_1$ | = | 24 | 15 | 3 |
| = | 39 | 3 | [Apply Rule (ii)] | |
| = | 13 | [Apply Rule (iv)] | ||
| Now, $R_2$ | = | d | 6 | 15 |
| = | 13 | 6 | 15 | |
| = | 7 | 15 | [Apply Rule (v)] | |
