= P1+R100n= 87481-101003
= 8748 x (100/90) x (100/90) x (100/90)
= 12,000.

The series rtus/rtus/rtus/rtus. Thus, the pattern 'rtus' is repeated.

Here the letters follow the rule (AxZ)+(A+Z)

The number corresponding to the letters are used in the rule

A=1, Z=26 => 26x1 + 1 + 26 = 26+27 = 53 =  053

(LxP)+(L+P) = (12 x16) + 12 + 16 = 192+28 = 220

Similarly (11x12) + 11 + 12 => 132 + 23 = 155
