Complete the given series by finding the missing term.
S        C         T          B          V           A          ___           Z           C

  1. X

  2. Y

  3. Z

  4. A


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is a mixed series The letters at the odd-numbered positions form one series and the letters at the even-numbered positions form another series
Consider the letter series S       T        V        ___         C In this series between S and T no letter is skipped Between T and V one letter U is skipped Hence after V we should skip two letters W and X to find the missing letter Therefore the answer is Y
After Y if we skip three letters (i.e. Z, A and B) we get the letter C which is the next letter pf the series
The other series is C        B        A         Z These are all consecutive letters in the reverse order The pattern can be indicated as follows.

  3. 22

  4. 36


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

For parallelograms we can use the formula of rectangles. It is a
$\displaystyle 3 \, \times \, 3 \, gird, \, hence \, \frac{3 \, \times \, 4}{3 \, \times \, 4} \, \times \frac{3 \, \times \, 4}{3 \, \times \, 4} \, = \, 36$
