A bristle is a part of a brush; a key is a part of a piano.

The process of dividing the disk into tracks and sectors is called as formatting.

Here the given series is 1, 3, 6, 11, 20, 37, ??,

and the logic behind the series is

1 x 2 + 1 = 3

3 x 2 + 0 = 6

6 x 2 + (-1) = 11

11 x 2 + (-2) = 20

20 x 2 + (-3) = 37

37 x 2 + (-4) = 70

Hence, the next number in the given series is 70.

Here the given number series is 2 4 27 256 3125 46656

It follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 11 = 1 \\ 22 = 4 \\ 33 = 27 \\ 44 = 256 \\ 55 = 3125 \\ 66 = 46656 \end{gathered}$$

Hence the wrong number in the given number series is 2 instead of 1.

Let first no. be "k" and multiple be "l"...start value of y with 3
then,
[(k x y) + {l x (l-1)}]
Thus, we get

15 x 3 + 3 x 2 = 51
51 x 4 + 4 x 3 = 216
216 x 5 + 5 x 4 = 1100
1100 x 6 + 6 x 5 = 6630
6630 x 7 + 7 x 6 = 46452

Therefore, the missing number is 6630.

6-3 = 3 9-4 = 5 (3x5=15) 15=O
7-2 = 5 7-3 = 4 (5x4=20) 20=T
9-6 = 3 5-1 = 4 (3x4=12) 12=L

Similarly, 4-1 = 3 8-5 = 1 (3x1=3) 3=C

$$\begin{gathered} [(K-L)2-K+L2]4K = ab \\ K2+L2-2KL-K2+L2+2KL4K= ab \end{gathered}$$

=> - 4KL/4K = a/b

=> L = - a/b

=> bL = -a
