    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    First series :-
    First term = 5
    Second term = First term × 1 + 0.25 × 1 = 5.25
    Third term = Second term × 2 + 0.25 × 4 = 11.5
    similarly , we can calculate the all next terms .
    Second series :-
    First term = 3
    Second term = First term × 1 + 0.25 × 1 = 3.25
    Third term = Second term × 2 + 0.25 × 4 = 7.5

    Correct Option: B

    Third term = Second term × 2 + 0.25 × 4
    Third term = 5.25 × 2 + 0.25 × 4 = 11.5
    similarly , we can find the all others terms .
    Second series :-
    First term = 3
    Second term = First term × 1 + 0.25 × 1
    Second term = 3 × 1 + 0.25 × 1 = 3.25
    Third term = Second term × 2 + 0.25 × 4 = 7.5
    Third term = 3.25 × 2 + 0.25 × 4 = 7.5
    Fourth term = Third term × 3 + 0.25 × 9
    Fourth term = 7.5 × 3 + 0.25 × 9 = 24.75
    So 24.75 should come in place of (c).

    The given series is in the below pattern , we can see that
    The series formed is:
    a a b a b c a b c d d c b a c b a b a a in which the letters equi–distant from the beginning and end are the same.

    Correct Option: A

    The given series is in the below pattern , we can see that
    The series formed is:
    a a b a b c a b c d d c b a c b a b a a in which the letters equi–distant from the beginning and end are the same.
    Hence , required answer will be abdca .


  1. b — b — bb — bbb — bb — b

    The series is babb / bbab / bbba / bbbb.
    Thus, in each sequence, ‘a’ moves one step forward and ‘b’ takes its place and finally in the fourth sequence, it is eliminated.

    Correct Option: C

    The series is babb / bbab / bbba / bbbb.
    Thus, in each sequence, ‘a’ moves one step forward and ‘b’ takes its place and finally in the fourth sequence, it is eliminated.
