    E. 202.5
    Answer & Explanation
    Answer – E. 202.5
    Explanation :
    2² * 0.5 +1 = 3
    3² * 0.5 +1.5 = 6
    6² * 0.5 +2 = 20
    20² * 0.5 +2.5 = 202.5

    Explanation :
    16+7² -7 = 58
    58+6² -6 = 88
    88+5² -5 = 108
    108+4² -4 = 120
    120+3² -3 = 126

  3. 20,100,160,200,220,?

    100+8² – 2² = 160
    160+7² – 3² = 200
    200+6² – 4² = 220
    220+5² – 5² = 220

  4. 224,?,444,1329,5312,26555
    A. 223
    B. 224
    C. 324

    10+5² -5² = 10
    10+6² -4² = 30
    30+7² – 3² = 70
    70+8² – 2² = 130
    130+9² – 1² = 210

    D. 480 Km
    E. Cannot be determined
    Answer & Explanation
    Answer – D. 480 Km
    Explanation :
    6 = D(1/3x+1/x)
    2= 60(1/3x+1/x)
    x = 40
    D =180
    Total distance travelled = (180+60)*2 = 480
