Explanation::
ReplyDelete1. Option D
For words arrangement:
In each step ‘ish’ is added at last
In given arrangement words start with are b, c, f, l, s – in alphabetical order
in 1st step last word taken, then first, then second last, then second. …
For numbers arrangement:
Numbers are taken in descending order in each step. In even numbers, 2 is added. In odd words 2 is subtracted. Input: mod soft 15 thin 78 34 quirk 28 59 new
Step 1: thinish mod soft 15 34 quirk 28 59 new 80
Step 2: thinish modish soft 15 34 quirk 28 new 80 57
Step 3: thinish modish softish 15 quirk 28 new 80 57 36
Step 4: thinish modish softish newish 15 quirk 80 57 36 30
Step 5: thinish modish softish newish quirkish 80 57 36 30 13
2. Option A
3. Option A
28 – 15 = 13
4. Option C
Step 5 becomes:
Step 5: thinish 80 softish 30 quirkish modish 57 36 newish 13
5. Option B
