+ 9 = 14).
18. (c) M + T + W = 32 × 3 = 96 ………..(i)
29. (c) According to the given information, we get:
W + Thu + F + S = 30 × 4 = 120 …….…(ii)
T>R>Q>P
M + T + W + Thu + F + S = 26 × 6 = 156 ….(iii)
Hence, R scored second highest marks
(i) + (ii) − (iii)
30. (d) The numbers are in terms of 7 × 8, 8 × 9, 9 × 10, 10 ×
W = 96 + 120 − 156 = 60
11, 11 × 12, 12 × 13.
19. (c) M + T + W + Th + F + S = 4200 × 6
So, 139 is wrong, it should be 156.

Thus the order is Gaurav, Jayant, Bipin, Kavikant,
21. (a) is the correct answer.
Anurag, Komal, Ramu.
Hence Kavikant is in the middle.
32. (c) So 78 – 25 = 53 person are there after Karan in the

33. (c) 12×3+2=38
38×3+2=116
116×3+2=350
