Select the number that will come next in the following series. 13, 18, 25, 34, 45, ?
- (A)71
- (B)57
- (C)56
- (D)58
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (D) 58
The differences between consecutive terms increase by 2 each time (5, 7, 9, …). Applying the same pattern to the last given term 45 gives 58, which is the next number in the series.
What is the SI unit of force?
- (A)Newton
- (B)Joule
- (C)Pascal
- (D)Watt
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (A) Newton
The SI unit of force is the newton (N); the joule measures energy, the watt measures power and the pascal measures pressure. Hence, 'Newton' is the correct answer among the given options.
If x + 1/x = 4, what is the value of x² + 1/x²?
- (A)8
- (B)20
- (C)16
- (D)14
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (D) 14
Squaring both sides: (x + 1/x)² = x² + 1/x² + 2 = 16. Therefore x² + 1/x² = 16 − 2 = 14.
Shortcut: x² + 1/x² = k² − 2 when x + 1/x = k.
