Like 52,= 25
72 = 49
112 = 121
132 = 169
172 = 289

68)

The pattern of the given series of numbers is as shown.

23−22 = 8−4 = 4
33−32=27−9=18
43−42 = 64 − 16 = 48
53−52 = 125 − 25 = 100
63−62 = 216 − 36 = 180
73 − 72 = 343 − 49 = 294
83 − 82 = 512 − 64 = 448

77)

Z = 52 an ART = 78
If the alphabet are written in serial number and each alphabet is give the code equal to its serial
number.
then, Z = 2 × 26 = 52
ART = 2 (1 + 18 + 20 ) = 78
TEN = 2 ( 20 + 5 + 14) = 78
