then square of side 1*1 is 9 2*2 is 4 15 August 2017-Tuesday The pattern followed here is:
and 3*3 is1
Sol.18. (c)
Total square=5+9+4+1=19 The given paper will appear as shown in
Sol.9. (a) option no (c) when unfolded.
Here, Opposite alphabets are cod. So, the correct answer is MJ.

Similarly, (15, 24, 39) = 15+24=39 Sol.25. (d)
The logic is: N (+4) = R (+4) = V
Sol.11. (a) D (+4) = H (+4) = L
The pattern followed here is: P (+4) = T (+4) = X
(G, T), (P, K) are opposite alphabet Similarly, F (+5) = K (+2) = M
-pairs. Option D doesn’t follow the logic, so it
Similarly, is different from others.
(D, W), (R, I) are opposite Hence, option D is different among the
