INTRODUCTION
Series Completion
In these questions, a series of numbers or alphabetical letters are given , and they follow a certain pattern. We need to identify this pattern and either complete the given series with the most suitable alternative or find the wrong term in the series.
TYPE 1 : NUMBER SERIES
Ex. 1. Which number would replace question mark in the series 7, 12, 19, ?, 39.
(a) 29 (b) 28 (c) 26 (d) 24
Sol. Clearly, the given sequence follows the pattern : + 5, +7, +9 … i.e., 7 + 5 = 12, 12 + 7=19 Missing number = 19 + 9 = 28. Hence, the answer is (b).
Ex. 2. Which is the number that comes next in the following sequence ? 4, 6, 12, 14, 28, 30, ( )
(a) 32 (b) 60 (c) 62 (d) 64
Sol. The given sequence is a combination of two series :
I. 4, 12, 28, ( ) and II. 6. 14, 30.
Now, the pattern followed in each of the above two series is : + 8, + 16. + 32 So. missing number = (28 + 32) = 60. Hence, the answer is (b).
TYPE 2 : ALPHABET SERIES
Ex. 1. What terms will fill the blank spaces ? Z X V T R (….), ( )
(a) O, K 1 (b) N, M (c) K, S (d) M, N (e) P, N
Sol. Clearly, the given series consists of alternate letters in a reverse order. So, the missing terms would be P and N. Hence, the answer is (e).
FOOD
Food is any substanceconsumed to provide nutritional support for an organism. Food is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism’s cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.

What is a calorie?
We hear about calories all the time: How many calories are in this cookie? How many are burned by doing 100 jumping jacks, or long-distance running, or fidgeting? But what is a calorie, really? And how many of them do we actually need? Emma Bryce explains how a few different factors should go into determining the recommended amount for each person.
Nutritional Calculations : How to Calculate Nutritional Values:-
Food labels give a few nutritional values based on a standard 2,000 calories per day, but you can also calculate the percentages of each nutrient on your own. See how it’s done in this video on nutritional calculations. Click LEARN MORE.
How to Create a Healthy plate?

Is Overcooked food Good for us?
Overcooking or charring the food from outside is in trend because it adds a smoky flavor and enhances the taste. However, experts believe that overcooking can have negative health effects.
Firstly, the longer you cook, the more nutrient loss occurs. Secondly, overcooked food is hard to digest and metabolize. Thirdly, when we cook starchy food at high temperatures for longer periods, the naturally occurring sugar and amino acids react to form harmful carcinogens like acrylamides. Whereas, overcooking of meat causes sugar, amino acids and a substance called creatine to react, producing carcinogens called heterocyclic amines. Lastly, while grilling, fat from the meat can drip onto the burning coal, leading to the production of carcinogens called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
FUN ACTIVITY: FAMILY TREE
A family tree is a chart representing family relationships in a tree like structure. It can trace our ancestry. Through this we could get to know about you great grandfathers, 5th or even more distant cousins.
So, here is an activity for you.Try to make your family tree at least to your great grandfather(grandfather’s father).
