Answer:
B. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
-16 + 12 = -4
The answer would be C) because there are 11 possibilities of who can line up first, and after the first person, 10 possibilities, then 9, and so on. So you would need to multiply 11x10x9x8x...x1.
Let us add consecutive odd numbers and try to find any relationship.
1. 1
2. 1+3 = 4 ( square of 2 i.e
)
3. 1+3+5 = 9 (
)
4. 1+3+5+7 = 16 (
)
5. 1+3+5+7+9 = 25 (
)
6. 1+3+5+7+9+11 = 36 (
)
7. 1+3+5+7+9+11+13 = 49 (
)
If we notice, the sum of the consecutive odd integers in each case is equal to the square of the place where it lies. For example, the sum of numbers in seventh place is equal to
. The sum of the numbers in the fifth line is equal to
.
