 a = -3 and a(2) = 4
a = -3
d = 4 - a = 4 - (-3) = 7
a(21)=a + (21-1) x d
= -3 + (20) x 7
= -3 + 140
= 137

- Given Codes:
- PAINT = 74128
- EXCEL = 93596

- Analysis:
- Each letter is represented by a single digit in the code.

- Mapping:
- P -> 7
- A -> 4
- I -> 1
- N -> 2
- T -> 8

- Applying the same logic to ACCEPT:
- A -> 4
- C -> 5
- E -> 5
- P -> 7
- T -> 8

- So, the code for ACCEPT is 455978, which corresponds to option A.

Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
First number × Second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 864 × Second number
= 96 × 1296 ⇒ Second number

CEDH -- Reverse it ---> HDEC.

VRNP -- Reverse it ---> PNRV.

Therefore VRNP is the answer.

Let the measured of the required angle be P degree.
Then, its supplement = 180 – P
Now use the formula,

3P + P180°
⇒ P = 45°

Vacuous is lacking in ideas, intelligence and so on. Hence, bright is an antonym.
