The circles in the figures form a series
The next step in the series is (B)
<h3>How to determine the next step?</h3>
From the figure, we have the following highlights
- The first circle has 2 segments
- The second circle has 4 segments
- The third circle has 5 segments
Using the above pattern, the next circle must have 6 segments
Hence, the next step in the series is (B)

Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 128 from 8
Let the two numbers be x and y.
We have x+y=45
⇒ y= 45-x.
The two numbers multiply and get 121, so we have another equation:
x*y = 121 (1)
Plug y= 45-x in (1), we have:
x* (45-x)=121
⇒ 45x - x^2 = 121 (distributive property)
⇒ x^2 - 45x = -121 (multiply -1 on both sides)
⇒ x^2- 45x + 121= 0
⇒ x= 42.128 or x= 2.872
y= 45- 42.128= 2.872
or y= 45- 2.872= 42.128.
Because it does not matter what number, x or y, is larger, the two numbers are 2.872 and 42.128.
