for these kind of ques u hav to use some common sense .. even im kinda bad at sequences =\ unfortunately there are chances of this topic comin up .. because it didnt come in p2

i got this one for my mock test and i solved it by trial n error .. one thing is good tht they already mention the ans. so i try everything to get the ans

   n (n+1)
= -------   + (n + 1)
      2
=n2 + 3n + 2
--------------
      2
ans is not (n +1 )2 so i tried adding again

=n2 + 3n + 2                      n (n+1)  
-----------------        +    ---------
         2                                 2

=(n +1 )2

got it .. sorry i couldnt give u a proper explanation =\

bi) .4 * .65 = 0.26

bii) Possibilities : Go and Stop or Stop and go

0.4*0.35  + 0.6*0.45 = 0.41

biii) Possibilities : Go and Stop , or Stop and Go , or Go and Go.

0.4*0.35  + 0.6*0.45  +  0.4*0.65 = 0.67
