    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    First series :-
    First term = 5
    Second term = First term × 1 + 12 = 5 + 1 = 6
    Third term = Second term × 2 + 22 = 12 + 4 = 16
    similarly , we can calculate the all next terms .
    Second series :-
    First term = 2
    Second term = First term × 1 + 12 = 2 + 1 = 3
    Third term = Second term × 2 + 22 = 6 + 4 = 10

    Correct Option: E

    Fifth term = Fourth term × 4 + 42
    Fifth term = 39 × 4 + 16 = 172
    Hence , the place value of ( d ) is 172 .

    The given series is in the below pattern,
    First term = 16
    Second term = First term + 12 = ?
    Second term = 16 + 12 = 17
    ∴ ? = 17
    Third term = Second term 12 = 15 ;
    Similarly , we can calculate all others terms also.

    Correct Option: A

    The given series is in the below pattern,
    First term = 16
    Second term = First term + 12
    Second term = 16 + 12 = 17
    ∴ ? = 17
    Third term = Second term + 22
    Third term = 17 + 22 = 21
    Fourth term = Third term + 32
    Fourth term = 21 + 32 = 30 ;
    Fifth term = Fourth term + 42
    Fifth term = 30 + 42 = 46 ;
    Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
    Sixth term = Fifth term + 52
    Sixth term = 46 + 52 = 71;
    Seventh term = Sixth term + 62
    Sixth term = 71 + 62 = 107
    Hence , Second term = 17

    First series :-
    First term = 5
    Second term = First term × 1 + 4 = 9
    Third term = Second term × 2 + 8 = 26
    similarly , we can calculate the all next terms .
    Second series :-
    First term = 13
    Second term = First term × 1 + 4 = 17
    Third term = Second term × 2 + 8 = 42

    Third term = Second term × 2 + 8
    Third term = 17 × 2 + 8 = 42
    Fourth term = Third term × 3 + 12
    Fourth term = 42 × 3 + 12 = 138
    Fifth term = Fourth term × 4 + 16
    Fifth term = 138 × 4 + 16 = 568
    Sixth term = Fifth term × 5 + 20
    Sixth term = 568 × 5 + 20 = 2860
    Hence , the place value of ( e ) is 2860 .

    As per the details of question is given series in the form of ,
    First series :-
    First term = 1260
    Second term = First term ÷ 2 - 2
    Second term = 1260 ÷ 2 - 2 = 628
    Third term = Second term ÷ 2 - 2
    Third term = 628 ÷ 2 - 2 = 312
    similarly , we can find the all others terms .
    ......... and so on .
    Second series :-
    First term = 788
    Second term = First term ÷ 2 - 2 = 392
    Third term = Second term ÷ 2 - 2 = 194

    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    First term = 4
    Second term = First term × 0.5
    Second term = 4 × 0.5 = 2
    Third term = Second term × 1.5
    Third term = 2 × 1.5 = ?
    ∴ ? = 3
    Similarly , we can calculate all next terms also.

    Correct Option: D

    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    First term = 4
    Second term = First term × 0.5
    Second term = 4 × 0.5 = 2
    Third term = Second term × 1.5
    Third term = 2 × 1.5 = ?
    ∴ ? = 3
    Fourth term = Third term × 2.5
    Fourth term = 3 × 2.5 = 7.5 ;
    Fifth term = Fourth term × 3.5
    Fifth term = 7.5 × 3.5 = 26.25 ;
    Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
    Sixth term = Fifth term × 4.5
    Sixth term = 26.25 × 4.5 = 118.125;
