(a) Explanation: The rule two vertical figures (Light and dark) followed by two figures (previous figures rotated by 90 degrees). 28 .
(b) Explanation: Every next image is getting rotated clockwise by 45Β° so the new image will be having the line exactly on the middle 29 .
(a) Explanation:
The position of picture is rotating in clockwise direction. 30 .
(b) Explanation: Next picture is left half part of kite. 31 .
(c) Explanation: The point is moving clockwise at a distance equal to half the length of side from the point in the previous term. 32 .
(d) Explanation: The pattern rule to get the next term is to reverse the position of the shapes in the previous term. In the first term, a star shape contains a sun shape. In the second term, a sun shape contains a star shape. In the third shape, a has two circles within it.
In the 4th term, two circles will have a within it. 33 .
(a) Explanation: Blue colour move anticlickwise direction. So in upcoming figure blue colour at the top position. 34 .
(b) Explanation: The circle is rotating in clock wise direction. So the line will be in horizontal position and yellow colour will be at the top and red colour will be at bottom. 35 .
(c) Picture F Explanation: All the images are facing each directions starting from east to north in clockwise direction and that repeats after every four image so image F does not follow this pattern 36 .
(a) Picture F Explanation:
Picture F breaking the rule because pictures move in clockwise direction only F move anticlockwise to previous one. 37 .
(b) 48, 42 Explanation: Here difference between two number is 6. So next numbers are 54 β 6 = 48, 48 β 6 = 42 38 .
(a) 25W, 24V Explanation: It's a pattern of combination of reverse order numbers like 28,27,26, 25, 24 and alphabet are Z, Y, X, W, V. So next number in series 25W, 24V. 39 .
(a) 64, 72 Explanation: Here difference between two number is 8. 40 - 32 = 8, 48 - 40 = 8 and 56 - 48 = 8.
So next numbers are 56 + 8 = 64 and 64 + 8 = 72 40 .

Triangular numbers are formed by adding consecutive numbers (1, 3, 6, 10, 15 ...). These numbers can form equilateral triangles when arranged in dots.
Square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16...) are called so because they can form perfect squares when arranged in dots. Cubes (1, 8, 27, 64 ...) are called cubes because they represent the volume of cubes with integer side lengths. 61 . a . 21 b . 10 c . Triangular numbers are formed by adding consecutive natural numbers. For example, 1 (1), 1 + 2 = 3, 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10, and so on. OR The diagram should show: 1 chair in the first row, 2 chairs in the second row (total 3), 3 chairs in the third row (total 6), 4 chairs in the fourth row (total 10).

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Explanation: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. 63 . When you multiply the triangular numbers by 6 and add 1, you generate a specific sequence. Let's explore this step by step. The first few triangular numbers are: T1 = 1 T2 = 3 T3 = 6 T4 = 10 T5 = 15 Multiplying by 6 and Adding 1 Now, letβs calculate for the first few triangular numbers:
1. For 1: 1 Γ 6 + 1 = 7
2. For 3: 3 Γ 6 + 1 = 19
3. For 6: 6 Γ 6 + 1 = 37
4. For 10: 10 Γ 6 + 1 = 61
5. For 15: 15 Γ 6 + 1 = 91 Resulting Sequence 7, 19, 37, 61, 91 These numbers can be expressed as: 2 n + n + 1 for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 64 . Adding hexagonal numbers, we get 1, 1 + 7 = 8, 1 + 7 + 19 = 27, 1 + 7 + 19 + 37 = 64, Clearly, we get 1, 8, 27, 64, 125 It is the sequence of cubes. 65 . Adding counting numbers up and down creates square numbers, and we can visualize this effectively. Square Numbers Sequence The sequence of square numbers is: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ...

5. 25 (5 ): β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β Adding Counting Numbers Up and Down The pattern is formed by adding numbers in a pyramid-like structure, where each row counts up and then back down: 1: β 1 + 2 + 1: β β β β 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1: β β β β β β β β β 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1: β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β Visualizing the Squares. When you combine these structures: Each added row creates a new level in the square. The total number of dots equals the area of the square formed by the counting numbers.
66 . a . 36 b . 25 c . These numbers are called square numbers because they can be arranged in a perfect square grid. For example, 4 trees can be arranged in a 2 Γ 2 grid, 9 trees in a 3 Γ 3 grid, and so on. OR 2 A 3 Γ 3 grid will have 9 trees, which is a square number (3 = 9). 67 .
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Explanation: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. 68 . By counting line segments, we get the sequence: 3, 12, 48, 192, 768 In this sequence, each term is three times the power of 4, 0 3 Γ 4 = 3 1 3 Γ 4 = 12 2 3 Γ 4 = 48 3 3 Γ 4 = 192 69 . In the sequence of stacked squares the number of little squares can be counted as follows:
i . 1 Γ 1 Square: 1 square ii . 2 Γ 2 Square: squares iii . 3 Γ 3 Square: squares iv . 4 Γ 4 Square: squares v . 5 Γ 5 Square: squares The sequence of little squares is: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ... This sequence corresponds to the squares of the natural numbers. 70 . Fill in the blanks: (i) 66, 77, 88 ( Using rule " add 11" ) (ii) 60 and 64 ( Using rule "add 4" 44 +4 = 48, 48 +4 = 52, 52+4 =56, 56+4 = 60, 60+4 = 64) (iii) 110, 113, 116 The numbers are increasing with the addition of +3 digit. (iv) Even number (v) 50 (Rule is add 8. 10 + 8 = 18, 18 + 8 = 26, 26 + 8 = 34, 34 + 8 = 42, 42 + 8 = 50) (vi) 50, 45, 40, 35 (we start from 50 so 50, 50- 5 = 45, 45-5 = 40, 40-5 = 35)
