Direction (27-31): In every question two rows are given 
and to find out the resultant of a particular row you need 
to follow the following steps: - 
Step 1: If an even number is followed by an odd (prime) 
number then the resultant will be the addition of both the 
numbers. 
Step 2: If an odd number is followed by a perfect square 
then the resultant will be the subtraction of the square 
number from the odd number. 
Step 3: If an odd number is followed by another odd 
number then the resultant will be the addition of both the 
numbers. 
Step 4: If an even number is followed by an odd (non-
prime) number then the resultant will be the subtraction 
of the odd number from the even number. 
Step 5: If an odd number is followed by an even number 
then the resultant comes by multiplying the numbers.
