Result = (3 + 5) = 8. Clearly, final output in step V = 36.
Step V: In this step following logic is applied. Hence, option C is correct choice.
18) Answer: e)
Clearly, second highest number in step I = 63
Second lowest number in step I = 52
Required difference = (63 – 52) = 11
Hence, option E is correct choice.
19) Answer: b)
Clearly, final result can be determined as average of Clearly, lowest number in step IV = 3.
