The pattern alternates between adding 2 and multiplying by 2: 4+2=6, 6×2=12, 12+2=14, 14×2=28, 28+2=30, 30×2=60. Check: 30×2=60, which matches option D.

The sequence consists of two interleaved patterns. Even positions (2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th) are 3, 6, 9, 12, adding 3 each time. Odd positions (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th) are 1, 3, 7, ?, 21, the differences increase by 2: +2, +4, +6, +8. So 7+6=13 and 13+8=21 confirms the pattern.

Venice is famously known as the 'City of Canals' due to its unique geography, built on 118 small islands connected by 400+ bridges, with canals serving as the main transportation routes instead of streets.

The differences between consecutive terms increase by 1 each time: 20-19=1, 19-17=2, 17-14=3, 14-10=4, 10-5=5. This gives us 17-3=14 as the missing number, which fits the complete pattern.

The differences between terms follow the pattern: +5, +10, +15, +20, +25. Each difference increases by 5. Continuing this: 6+5=11, 11+10=21, 21+15=36, 36+20=56, 56+25=81.

This is a geometric progression where each term is multiplied by 3: 3×3=9, 9×3=27, 27×3=81. Therefore, 81×3=243. Option C is correct.

Norway is famously known as the 'Land of the Fjords' because it has over 1,000 fjords, long, narrow inlets with steep cliffs created by glacial erosion. The fjord coastline is among the most distinctive and scenic landscapes in the world.

The differences between consecutive terms increase by 1: 5-2=3, 9-5=4, 14-9=5, 20-14=6, 27-20=7. So the missing number is 9+5=14, completing the pattern.

Japan is known as the 'Land of the Rising Sun', a name derived from its Japanese name 'Nihon' or 'Nippon,' which literally means 'sun origin.' Japan lies east of the Asian mainland, so the sun appears to rise from there.

This follows a Fibonacci-style pattern where each term (after the first two) is the sum of the two preceding terms: 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8, 5+8=13. The missing number is 8.

These are perfect squares: 121=11², 225=15², 361=19². The bases 11, 15, 19 increase by 4 each time. The next base is 23, and 23²=529.

Kerala is famously known as the 'Spice Garden of India' due to its historical and climatic suitability for producing a wide variety of spices like black pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon. Bhutan is a country, and Ooty is a hill station.

Valdivia in Chile is known as the 'City of Rivers' because it is situated at the confluence of the Calle-Calle and Cruces rivers, which form the Valdivia River. The city has multiple rivers flowing through it, earning this nickname.
