Explanation

 Looking at the alternating pattern:

• First sequence: 1, 2, 3 (Increasing)

• Second sequence: 3, ?, 7

Checking possible middle value:

• The pattern could follow a doubling sequence: $3 times 2 = 6$

Explanation

• $172÷5=34.4$ (approximate, doesn't fit exactly)

• $172-138=34$

• $34+6=40$

• $40-22=18$

Observing the sequence, there may be an alternating pattern of subtraction and addition:

• $172 - 138 = 34$

• $34+6=40$

• $40-22=18$

• $18 + 2 = 10$

Light-fingered person (چور، چالاک چور)
 A person who is a thief (وہ شخص جو چور ہو)

Explanation

Let's analyze the given sequence:

5 ? 14 10 97

Step 1: Identify a Pattern

We will check for possible arithmetic or geometric patterns.

Observing the numbers:

• 5 → ? → 14 → 10 → 97

Step 2: Check Differences

Let's check if there's an increasing or decreasing pattern:

• Difference between 14 and 10 = -4

• Difference between 10 and 97 = +87

Since the jumps are inconsistent, we may need a different approach.

Step 3: Look for an Alternating Pattern

• The missing number could fit a pattern involving alternating operations.

One possible pattern:

• $5\times 2+4=14$

• $14 - 4 = 10$

• $10 times 10 - 3 = 97$

Thus, checking backwards:

• The missing number should satisfy: $5 times 2 + 4 = ?$

• $5\times 2+4=10+4=12$

Explanation

Step 1: Define Variables

Let the number of pages Nasir reads on the second day be x.

We are given that on the first day, he read 60 pages, which was 20% more than what he read on the second day.

So, we can set up the equation:

60=x+10020​×x $$60 = x + 0.2x$$60=1.2x
x=60/1.2​=50

Step 2: Find Total Pages in the Book

It is also given that on the second day, he read $frac{1}{6}$ of the book, meaning:

50=1/6​ ×Total Pages
$$\text{Total Pages}=50\times 6=300$$

Final Answer:

The total number of pages in the book is 300

Explanation

'Backstairs influence' means influence from an ignoble or common source

 Backstairs influence → Unfair influence (غیر منصفانہ اثر و رسوخ)

Explanation

 Parents are often blind to the faults of their children.

Blind to" means ignoring or not noticing something, especially faults or mistakes.

(والدین اکثر اپنے بچوں کی غلطیوں کو نظر انداز کرتے ہیں۔)

Explanation

The solution in the image explains the pattern clearly. Let's break it down:

1. Step 1: Identify the pattern.

   • Difference between 466 and 341 = 125

2. Step 2: Multiply the difference by 2.

   • $125\times 2=250$

   • So, 250 is the correct number inside the parentheses after 341.

3. Step 3: Apply the same pattern to find the missing number.

   • Difference between 398 and 282 = 116

4. Step 4: Multiply the difference by 2.

   • $116\times 2=232$

   • So, the missing number in the sequence is 232.

Explanation

Total work = 16 men × 10 days = 160 man-days
Time for 8 men = $frac{160}{8}$ = 20 days
