Show answer
Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's break down the information given:

The Smith family has:

  • Mother
  • Father
  • 7 daughters
  • Each daughter has 1 brother

From this information, we can deduce that there is only 1 brother for all the daughters. Therefore, there is only 1 son in the family.

To calculate the total number of people in the family, we add up the number of family members:

  • Mother: 1
  • Father: 1
  • 7 daughters: 7
  • 1 son: 1

So, the total number of people in the family is 1 + 1 + 7 + 1 = 10.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 10.

  1. 3125

  2. 725

  3. 1

  4. 5

Show answer
Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's analyze the given sequence:

1 = 5 2 = 25 3 = 125 4 = 625

Looking at the pattern, we can see that each number in the sequence is obtained by raising the corresponding number to the power of 5.

So, 5 raised to the power of 1 is 5, 5 raised to the power of 2 is 25, 5 raised to the power of 3 is 125, and 5 raised to the power of 4 is 625.

Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 5 raised to the power of 5, which is 3125.

Hence, the correct answer is option A) 3125.
