Options- A. 8, 8
- B. 8, 0
- C. 3, 8
- D. None of these Discuss
Correct Answer: 8, 0
Explanation:
Let the missing terms of the series be x1 and x2.Thus, the sequence 2, 15, 4, 12, 6, 7, x1 x2 is a combination of two series :
I. 2, 4, 6, x1 and II. 15, 12, 7, x2I consists of consecutive even numbers.
So, missing term, x1 = 8.
The pattern in II is - 3, - 5,......So, missing term, x2 = 7 - 7 = 0.

- 4. In a family, a couple has a son and a daughter. The age of the father is three times that of his daughter and the age of the son is half of that of his mother. The wife is 9 years younger to her husband and the brother is seven years older than his sister. What is the age of the mother?
Options- A. 40 years
- B. 45 years
- C. 50 years
- D. 60 years Discuss
Correct Answer: 60 years
Explanation:
Let the daughter's age be x years.Then, father's age = (3x) years.
Mother's age = (3x - 9) years; Son's age = (x + 7) years.
So, x + 7 = (3x-9)/2 ⟺ 2x + 14 = 3x - 9 ⟺ x = 23.
Therefore Mother's age = (3X - 9) = (69 - 9) years = 60 years.
