He had achieved a highest speed of 250 w.p.m. in Shorthand.

In each term second two numbers are multiples of the first number. But in 4-15-24 15 is not multiple of 4.

The given number series is 6, 8, 5, 10, 4, 14

6

6 + 2 = 8

8 - 3 = 5

5 + 5 = 10

10 - 7 = 3

3 + 11 = 14

...

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 4.

The given number series is 2, 3, 7, 16, 32, ?

$$\begin{gathered} 2 \\ 2 + 12 = 3 \\ 3 + 22 = 7 \\ 7 + 32 = 16 \\ 16 + 42 = 32 \\ 32 + 52 = 57 \\ \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 57.

17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = 1
97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June.
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
Given day is Wednesday.

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air dissipate blue light from the sun more than they dissipate red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange hues on the grounds because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

The given series 

12   24   26.5   79.5   ?   330 follows a pattern that,

12 x 2 = 24

24 + 2.5 = 26.5

26.5 x 3 = 79.5

79.5 + 3 = 82.5

82.5 x 4 = 330

Hence, the missing number is 82.5

The given number series is 3, 12, 39, 120, 364

$$\begin{gathered} 3 \\ 3 + 32 = 3 + 9 = 12 \\ 12 + 33 = 12 + 27 = 39 \\ 39 + 34 = 39 + 81 = 120 \\ 120 + 35 = 120 + 243 = 363 (Not 364) \end{gathered}$$
