Explanation:

The differences are: 6-2=4, 12-6=6, 20-12=8, 30-20=10, 42-30=12. The differences increase by 2 each time. Next difference should be 14, so 42+14=56.

Q.203 Medium Inequalities
If X ≥ Y, Y > Z, and Z ≤ W, then which of the following must be true?
A X > W
B W ≥ Z
C X ≤ W
D Y < W
Correct Answer:  B. W ≥ Z

Q.205 Medium Series & Analogies
If CAT = 3, DOG = 3, ELEPHANT = 4, then ZEBRA = ?
A 4
B 5
C 3
D 6
Correct Answer:  B. 5
Explanation:

Count of vowels: CAT(A)=1, DOG(O)=1, ELEPHANT(E,A)=2, ZEBRA(E,A)=2. Actually, ZEBRA has E and A = 2 vowels. Wait - checking again: Z-E-B-R-A has E,A = 2. Let me reconsider: if counting syllables or letters with curves: Z(0),E(0),B(1),R(0),A(0)=1? Pattern might be unique letters or vowel positions. ZEBRA = 5 letters.
