The given number series is 14, 27, 105, 525, 4993

14

14 x 2 - 1 = 27

27 x 4 - 3 = 105

105 x 6 - 5 = 625 (not 525)

625 x 8 - 7 = 4993

Hence, the odd man or number in the given number series is 525.

Clearly 4864 is divisible by 4
So, 9 P 2 must be divisible by 3. So (9+P+2) must be divisible by 3.
So P=1.

0.232323...=0.23 =2399

Let the numbers be x and y.

Then, xy = 9375 and  x/y = 15.

xyxy=9375/15

=>$$\begin{gathered} y2 =625 \\ \end{gathered}$$

=> y = 25

=> x = 15y = 15 x 25 = 375.

Sum of the numbers = 375 + 25 = 400.

The given series 16, 254, 1296, 4096, 10000 follows a pattern that

24, 44, 64, 84, 104,...

Hence, the odd man in the series is 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256 not 254.

Let the C.P of spirit be = Rs.10 per litre

Then S.P l litre of the mixture = Rs. 11

Profit = 20%

Therefore, C.P of the mixture = Rs. 100120×10 = Rs. 25/3 per litre

 Therefore, Ratio of water and spirit = 1 : 5
