QUESTION 1: In these type of question, the easiest way to get the answer is try to plug in the x and y values from the options given in the equation given, So in the first question all the choice except C are more then 14 if you plug in x and y's, for eg, if you plug in x = 3 and y = 2 , you get (3+3)2 = 14 6 x 2 = 14 12 is not equal to 14, so this eliminates this choice but if you chose C you get, (11+3)1 = 14 14 = 14 so this makes C the solution for first question and for the second question do the same thing, and the answer will be D. Hope this helps
