The given series are in the forms
11*11=121-1=120
as follows
7*7=49-1=48
so
6*6=36-1=35
11*11=121-1=120
as follows
7*7=49-1=48
so
6*6=36-1=35

There is another method....
10*12=120
9*11=99
8*10=80
7*9=63
6*8=48
now look at the series 1st multiples r 10,9,8,7,6,
So next is 5
look at 2nd multiples 12,11,10,9,8, so nxt comes 7
thr4 5*7=35
10*12=120
9*11=99
8*10=80
7*9=63
6*8=48
now look at the series 1st multiples r 10,9,8,7,6,
So next is 5
look at 2nd multiples 12,11,10,9,8, so nxt comes 7
thr4 5*7=35
