Direction (27-30): There are two rows given and to find 
out the resultant of a particular row we need to follow the 
following steps: - 
Step 1: If an even number is followed by an odd 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 difference of that square 
number and the odd number. 
Step 3: If an odd number is followed by another odd 
number (but not a perfect square) then the resultant will 
be the addition of both the numbers. 
Step 4: If an odd number is followed by an even number 
(but not a perfect square) then the resultant comes by 
multiplying the numbers. 
Step 5: If an even number is followed by another even 
number then the resultant will be the division of first 
number by the second number.

Direction (27-30): There are two rows given and to find 
out the resultant of a particular row we need to follow the 
following steps: - 
Step 1: If an even number is followed by an odd 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 difference of that square 
number and the odd number. 
Step 3: If an odd number is followed by another odd 
number (but not a perfect square) then the resultant will 
be the addition of both the numbers. 
Step 4: If an odd number is followed by an even number 
(but not a perfect square) then the resultant comes by 
multiplying the numbers. 
Step 5: If an even number is followed by another even 
number then the resultant will be the division of first 
number by the second number.
