Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option B
Explanation [1-3]-
Numbers are arranged in ascending order the numbers are replaced with twice the sum of the numbers.
Lowest number is arranged in left end and highest number is replaced in right end.
Second lowest number is replaced in second from left end and second highest number is replaced in second from right end.
