Answer : 1. "36 & 90"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 36 & 90 Explanation: the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ?? Second Series : 12,18,26, ?? So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply :   Pattern of Series 1 :   6 divide 4 : 1.5 Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2 Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5 So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on So first series will look like 4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90   Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ??   Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12) Series will be like 12,18,26,36.   For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90

Answer : 3. "36 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 36 kmph Explanation: Given speed of the first train = 60 km/hr = 60 x 5/18 = 50/3 m/s Let the speed of the second train = x m/s Then, the difference in the speed is given by 503 - x = 12018 => x = 10 m/s => 10 x 18/5 = 36 km/hr
