The given number series 11, 13, 30, 96, ? follows a pattern that,

11

11 x 1 + 2 = 13

13 x 2 + 4 = 30

30 x 3 + 6 = 96

96 x 4 + 8 = 392

Hence, the next number in the given series is 392.

Given series is 372, 823, 644, 582, 46?, 8?7

Here the series follow the rule that :
372 = 3+7+2 = 12
823 = 8+2+3 = 13
644 = 6+4+4 = 14
582 = 5+8+2 = 15
46? = 4+6+? = 16 => ? = 6
8?7 = 8+?+7 = 17 => ? = 2

So the missing numbers are 6 and 2

Here the given number series is 0, 3, 8, 15, 24, ?

The next number in the given series can be found such a way that the number series follows a pattern,

$$\begin{gathered} 22 - 4 = 0 \\ 32 - 6 = 3 \\ 42 - 8 = 8 \\ 52 - 10 = 15 \\ 62 - 12 = 24 \\ 72 - 14 = 35 \\ Hence, the next number in the iven series is 35. \end{gathered}$$

Lethargic means "sluggish", kind of inactive

Vital means full of energy, lively

So, they are antonyms.

So, for the 2nd part of the analogy, you are looking for a antonym to trite

Trite means lacking originality or freshness. Overused. Kind of like a cliche

So, an antonym could be original, unique, innovative.

The Saka Era was founded by Kanishka, the emperor of Kushana empire from the year 78 A.D.

Here the given number series is 270, 261, 279, 252, 289, 243

270 - 9 = 261

261 + 18 = 279

279 - 27 = 252

252 + 36 = 288 (not equals to 289)

288 - 45 = 243

Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 289.

We know that 

$$\begin{gathered} 40% = 40100 = 25 \\ ⇒25 x 244 x ? = 48 \\ ? = 48 x 5 x 42 x 24 = 20 \end{gathered}$$
