1. Sreena did 5 push ups on Monday and 16 push-ups on Tuesday, 27 push-ups on Wednesday.
If this pattern continues how many push-ups will Sreena do on Thursday?

MCQ
A. 38
B. 37
C. 36
D. 35
E.

Hint1: Are the push-ups increasing or decreasing in a set pattern?

Hint2: What is the pattern by which the push up numbers are increasing?
Solution: Monday - 5 push-ups.
Tuesday - 16 push-ups.
Wednesday - 27 push-ups.
16 - 5 = 11.
27 - 16 = 11.
The number of push-ups is increasing by 11 everyday.
So on Thursday, it will be 27 + 11 = 38 push-ups.

7. The numbers 21 to 29 are arranged in a grid as shown below

The following three statements are made about the grid

I. The 3 numbers in column 1 are such that two of those numbers added is 20 more than the third
number.
II. The 3 numbers in column 2 are such that two of those numbers added is 20 more than the third
number.
III. The 3 numbers in column 3 are such that their sum is divisible by 9

MCQ
A. Only I is true
 B. Only II is true
C. Only I and II are true
D. I, II and III are true
Hint1: In column 1: 21+25 = 46 (two numbers can be added to get 20 more than the third)
Hint2: In column 2: 22+27 = 49 (two numbers can be added to get 20 more than the third)
Solution: In column 1: 21 + 25 = 46 (two numbers can be added to get 20 more than the third)
In column 2: 22 + 27 = 49 (two numbers can be added to get 20 more than the third)
In column 3: 24 + 23 + 28 = 75 (75 is NOT divisible by 9)
Answer: C
