Clearly, alternatively we add and subtract 10% of a term to obtain the next term of the series.
Thus, 10000 + (10% of 10000)= 11000;
11000 - (10% of 11000) = 9900;
 9900 + (10% of 9900)  = 10890;
10890 - (10% of 10890) = 9801.
 9801 + (10% of 9801)  = 9801+980 = 10781.
So, missing term = 10890- (10% of 10890)= 9801.

Man's rate in still water = (15 - 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr.

Therefore,  Man's rate against the current = (12.5 - 2.5) = 10 km/hr.

From both statements we cannot conclude the train catched by Harish

Since he missed at 4.15 and train coes at 4.30, 4.45, 5.00,...

But in B given that he didn't catch the train at 4.45 and after that.

So both statements A & B together are not sufficient to answer the question.

The given puzzle follows a logic that,

2 + 10 = 24 => 2 + 10 = 12 x 2 = 24

3 + 6 = 27 => 3 + 6 = 9 x 3 = 27

7 + 2 = 63 = 7 + 2 = 9 x 7 = 63

Similarly, 5 + 3 = 40 => 5 + 3 = 8 x 5 = 40.

Commission up to 10000 = 10000x9100 = 900 

Again after 10000, 

              Commission    :   Bonus 

                           9       :   3 

                         3x        :   x

 Therefore,   Bonus = 1380-900×14 = Rs. 120

Given a x a = 12

asked to find a x a x a x a =  (a x a) x (a x a)

a⁴ = a² x a² 

= 12 x 12

= 144.

The given number series 100, 101, 97, 105, 90

100

100 + 1^2 = 101

101 - 2^2 = 97

97 + 3^2 = 106 ( not 105)

106 - 4^2 = 90

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 105.
