'Stump' and 'Point' are the terms used in 'Cricket' and similarly 'Dribble' and 'Corner' are the terms used in 'Hockey' Hence,first and last are the terms used in the second.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
First term = 2
Second term = First term × 1 + 7
? Second term = 2 × 1 + 7 = 2 + 7 = 9 ;
Third term = Second term × 2 - 11
? Third term = 9 × 2 - 11 = 18 - 11 = 5; 5 is wrong. It should be 7 as Third term .
Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
Fourth term = Third term × 3 + 15
? Fourth term = 7 × 3 + 15 = 21 + 15 = 36 ;
Fifth term = Fourth term × 4 - 19
? Fifth term = 36 × 4 - 19 = 144 -19 = 125 ;
Sixth term = Fifth term × 5 + 23
? Sixth term = 125 × 5 + 23 = 625 + 23 = 648 ;
Seventh term = Sixth term × 6 - 27
? Seventh term = 648 × 6 - 27 = 3888 - 27 = 3861 .
New series is
First term = 5 × 1 + 7 = 12;
Second term = 12 × 2 - 11 = 13.
Hence Second term of new series is 13 and correct option is ( E ) .
