    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Series I, 2 + 16 × 1 = 18 18 + 16 × 2 = 50 50 + 16 × 3 = 98 98 + 16 × 4 = 162 162 + 16 × 5 = 242 P = 100, A = 98 Series II, 90 + 102 = 190 190 + 82 = 254 254 + 62 = 290 290 + 42 = 306 206 + 22 = 310 Q = 305, B = 306 Series III, 60 + 63 = 276 276 - 53 = 151 151 + 43 = 215 215 - 33 = 188 188 + 23 = 196 R = 150, C = 151 Empployees participated in Fun Friday Activities, From Office P = (151 - 21) + (150 - 100) = 130 + 50 = 180 From Office Q = (100 + 30) + (306 - 106) = 130 + 200 = 330 From Office R = (98 + 2) + (305 - 205) = 100 + 100 = 200 Hence, difference = (180 + 200) - 330 = 380 - 330 = 50
