Difference between terms: +3, +5, +7, +9 → next is +11. So, 18 + 9 = 27.

T→W (+3), O→S (+4), D→G (+3), A→D (+3), Y→B (+3). Apply same logic: N→P, I→J, G→I, H→F, T→V → Code is PJIFV.

Each letter is skipping one in the alphabet: C (+2) E (+2) G (+2) I (+2) → next is K.

Each number is multiplied by 2: 9×2 = 18, 18×2 = 36, 36×2 = 72, 72×2 = 144. So the missing number is 72.

Answer: D. 35 Explanation: This is a series of n² - 1: 1² - 1 = 0 2² - 1 = 3 3² - 1 = 8 4² - 1 = 15 5² - 1 = 24 6² - 1 = 35 → Answer is 35

Numbers increase by 2: 2, 4, 6, 8 → next is 10. Letters: A, C, E, G → skip 1 each time (A + 2 = C, +2 = E...) → next is I.

From the statements, we cannot deduce that some pens are chairs or that all books are pens. Both conclusions go beyond the given statements.

26 Explanation: Pattern is: n² + 1 → 2² + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 3² + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10 4² + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17 So, 5² + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26.

All numbers except 90 are perfect squares: 6² = 36, 7² = 49, 8² = 64, 9² = 81. 90 is not a perfect square, hence the odd one.
