Direction (1-3): Two rows of numbers are given. The resultant number in each row is to be worked out separately based on the following rules and the question below the rows of numbers is to be answered. The operations of numbers progress from left to right.
Step I: If an odd number is followed by an even number then the resultant will be the addition of both the numbers.
Step II: If an even number is followed by a perfect square then the resultant will be the subtraction of the square number from the even number.
Step III: If an odd number is followed by another odd number then the resultant will be the addition of both the numbers.
