Answer : 2. "9801"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 9801 Explanation: Clearly, alternatively we add and subtract 10% of a term to obtain the next term of the series.Thus, 10000 + (10% of 10000)= 11000; 11000 - (10% of 11000) = 9900; 9900 + (10% of 9900) = 10890; 10890 - (10% of 10890) = 9801. 9801 + (10% of 9801) = 9801+980 = 10781.So, missing term = 10890- (10% of 10890)= 9801.

Answer :
Explanation :
1. Answer (c) Each time we order 1, one apple is added to the basket but each time when 4 is ordered, one apple is removed from it. Required number of apples = number of 1's - number of 4's = 6 - 4 = 2 2. Answer (d) Each time we order 1, 2 or 3, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever we order 4, two fruits are removed from it. Required number = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's) = 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4) = 19 - 8 = 11.
