If the total of 11 consecutive positive integers is x, then the total of the next 11 consecutive integers in terms of x is

(A) x + 11
(B) x + 221
(C) 7x + 11
(D) x + 121
(E) x + 101

imo D

11 consecutive let us say a, a+1, ....., a+10
next 11 consecutive say a+11, a+12, ..... a+21

so each has 11 terms. compare each positioned numbers
I mean a with a+11 (1st of 1st seq to 1st of 2nd seq) diff is 11
similarly, a+1 with a+12: diff is 11

this way 11 times 11 diff will come

Now 1st seq sum is x
then 2nd seq sum is x+(11+11...... 11 times) = x+(11*11) = x+121
If the problem is Easy Respect it, if the problem is tough Attack it
