Answers:

1. c) 304

Solution:
22 x 0.5 – 1 = 10
10 x 1 (double of 0.5) – 2 (double of 1) = 8
8 x 2 – 4 = 12
12 x 4 – 8 = 40
40 x 8 – 16 = 304

2. e) 4776

Solution:
6 x 2 + 2 = 14
14 x 3 – 3 = 39
39 x 4 + 4 = 160
160 x 5 – 5 = 795
795 x 6 + 6 = 4776

3. a) 47

Solution:
25 + 22 = 29
29 - 32 = 20
20 + 42 = 36
36 - 52 = 11
11 + 62 = 11 + 36 = 47

4. b) 113

Solution:

5. d) 133

Solution:
13 x 2 - 5 = 21
21 x 2 - 5 = 37
37 x 2 - 5 = 69
69 x 2 - 5 = 133
133 x 2 - 5 = 261
