First ten odd numbers form an arithmetic progression of the form
1,3,5,7,9......
here a = first term = 1
d = common difference = 2
Average of first n numbers = (2a + (n - 1)d)/2
n th term of the AP = a + (n - 1)d
Substituting a = 1, d = 2 and n = 10 in the above formulas
average of first 10 numbers = 10
10 th term of the AP = 19
Therefore average of first 10 terms is 19 - 10 = 9 greater than
the last term. Hence the average is greater than the sum by
9/19 X 100 = 900/19 %

Q, the Doctor, is the father of T. S, the Housewife, is the grandmother of T and hence the mother of Q. Since there are only two married couples one being that of Q, the grandfather of R. i.e, U must be married to S. Thus, R and T will be both children of Q and these must be the students So, P, who remains, shall be the wife of Q and she alone can be the nurse. Thus, U must be the contractor 

Clearly, R and T are children of same parent, So. R will be the sister of T. 

Here 14×1521= 10 and 32×1428 = 16

In the same way  24×2624= 26.

B is the son of C but C is not the mother of B means C is the father of B. A is marned to C means A is the mother of B. F is brother of B means F is son of A and C. D is daughter of A means D is daughter of A and C

A is the mother and hence female. B is the son and hence male. C is the husband and hence male.

D in the daughter and hence female. E is the brother and hence male F is the son and hence male.

So, there are four males. 

The series is abadna/abadna/abadna/ab.
The pattern 'abadna' is repeated

Given two lines are parallel

pa+b=2

b=-pa+2..........(1)

3a+b=4

b=-3a+4 ...........(2)

m₁ = -p

m₂= -3

The condition for the two lines to be parallel is m₁=m₂

p = 3
