It is easier to tackle this by writing it in algebraic form:

2a - 9 = b

Where a is a number smaller than 40 and b is square.

There are way more numbers less than 40 than there are relevant square numbers, so it's best to solve this for a:

2a = b+9

a = (b+9)/2

b can be 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100...

If b is even, then (b+9)/2 will not divide evenly, so this limits us to 1, 9, 25, 49 and 81

For 81, (b+9)/2 = 45 which is more than 40, so b can only be 1, 9, 25 or 49.

Plugging these into the equation means that a can be 5, 9, 17 or 29

When asked on an application which number best completes the sequence 1 1 3 2 4 6 5 25?

I think the sequence is square the first number, add two, take away one, square that number, add two, take away one, square that number. 12 = 1, 1 plus 2 = 3, 3 minus 1 = 2, 22 = 4, 4 plus 2 = 6, 6-1 = 5, 52 = 25. This would mean that the next number in the sequence is 27 because the next step would be to add two.
