74. First letter of every term is moved three steps
15. n2 = x backward in each next term. Second number
(n + 1)2 = x + y of every term is moved two steps backward
n2 + 1 + 2n = x + y
and third letter is moved two steps forward.
2n = x + y n2 1= x + y x 1 = y 1
(x + 2)2 = n2 + 4 + 4n Hence, the next choice would be T11E.

= x + 4 + 2(y 1)
= x + 4 + 2y 2

8 9 6 9 7 8.
Thus, three such numbers are there.

99. (D) The required numbers in ascending order

are : 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36,
39, 42, 45. The 9th number from the top is 27.

100. Number of students behind Anil in rank

= (31 7) = 24. So, Anil is 25th from the
bottom.
Number of students behind Sunil in rank
= (31 11) = 20
So, Sunil is 21st from the bottom.
