Explanation:

Step1 (Q13): Identify starting perfect square

Top level = $2^2 = 4$

Step2 (Q13): List consecutive perfect squares

Next squares: $3^2=9$, $4^2=16$, $5^2=25$ → Pattern: 4,9,16,25

Step1 (Q14): Sum the 4 level blocks

Total = $4 + 9 + 16 + 25$

Step2 (Q14): Calculate the total

$4+9=13$, $13+16=29$, $29+25=54$

Answer:

1. B. 4,9,16,25
2. B. 54
