The correct answer is E.

This series will alternately multiply by 3 and then add 4 to get to the next number. Therefore, the next number in the series will be 34 X 3=102
2,     6,       10,     30,      34,      102
    *3     +4        *3      +4        *3

The correct answer is C.

In the above matrix (from left to right):

• Across the rows: The black stars rotate clockwise around the smiley face. The horizontal line in each box alternates between resting above or below the smiley face.
• Down the columns: The black stars increase by one and the horizontal lines continue to alternate. The correct answer will follow the above patterns.

That is answer choice C.

The correct answer is B.

This is a distance problem. 
Solution a:
In order to travel the same distance in half the time, the speed must be double the original speed. Hence, the speed the way back is 2∙30 = 60miles/hour. 

Solution b:

The correct answer is D.

The missing word comes before an adjective and after a verb. Therefore, it has to be an adverb. The suffix -ly modifies the root-word from an adjective into an adverb, so option 5 is ruled out. Amongst the remaining, "amazingly" is the best fit.

The correct answer is D.

There are two characteristics which change in this series: color of triangles and the direction of the diagonal line.

Color: the pattern of the colors is: white/grey, black/grey, white/black etc. Thus, the subsequent frame will be black/grey. In addition, the color of each triangle is the same as the color of the adjacent triangle in the frame next to it. For instance, in the 2nd frame, the top-left triangle is grey, just like the top-right triangle in the 1st frame, and the bottom-right triangle is black, just like the bottom-left triangle in the 3rd frame.

Direction of the diagonal line: the direction shifts between a diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom right corner and a diagonal line from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. Following this pattern, the answer will have a diagonal line from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.

Therefore, the correct answer is D.

The correct answer is (A).

The correct answer to this question is the only response in which the bears can be held together in the same court, regardless of what court it is. This means that in the four wrong responses the bears mentioned cannot be kept in the same court.

(A) Can Jinan and Knot be kept together in the same court? Knot can be kept in courts 1 and 2 (see derivatives). If Jinan is kept with him in court 1, this means that Mushu must be kept in court 2 (either Jinan or Mushu in court 2). Nee-Hau must be kept in court 3, and Lee can be kept either in court 2 or in court 3 (K < L).

This is a possible setup that does not violate any of the rules:

1-J,K; 2-M,L; 3-N

Therefore, the correct answer is (A). After finding the correct answer, there is no need to examine the remaining responses.

(B) Nee-Hau must be kept in court 3, but according to the derivatives, Knot cannot be in kept in court 3. Thus, this is not the correct answer.

(C) According to the rules, either Mushu or Jinan must be kept in court 2, but not both. Therefore, they cannot be kept together at all. Thus, this is not the correct answer.

(D) Since Knot is kept in a court to the left of Lee (K < L), Knot and Lee cannot share a court. Thus, this is not the correct answer.

(E) The rules in the question specifically state that Mushu and Nee-Hau cannot share the same court (~MN). Thus, this is not the correct answer.
