= 5.

Given equation can be written as

$$\begin{gathered} 215 x 103 + ? = 24 \\ => 14 + ? = 24 \\ => ? = 24 - 14 \\ => ? = 10 \end{gathered}$$

Wrought Iron is the purest form of iron. It contains 0.12 to 0.25% carbon and so it is the purest form of iron.

a+b=5   ...(1)    and    3a+2b=20 ...(2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and subtracting from (2), we get : a=10.

Putting a=10 in (1), we get : b=-5

Therefore,   (3a+b) = 3 x 10+(-5)=30-5=25.

Let the average after 7th inning = x

Then average after 16th inning = x - 3

16(x-3)+87 = 17x 

 x = 87 - 48 = 39

The given number series is 125,   138,   164,   ?,   255

125

125 + 13x1 = 138

138 + 13x2 = 164

164 + 13x3 = 203

203 + 13x4 = 255

Hence, the missing number in the series is 203.
