(2000 + 3)(2000 + 4) - (2000 + 1)(2000 + 2) = ?
Since (2000 x 2000) - (2000 x 2000) is equal to zero. ?
= (8000 + 6000 + 12) - (4000 + 2000 + 2)
=> 14012 - 6002 = 8010.

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.

Here the given number series is 6, 3, 3, 4.5, 10

The odd one in the given series is 10

The pattern it follows is

6

6 x 0.5 = 3

3 x  1  = 3

3 x 1.5 = 4.5

4.5 x 2 = 9

Hence, the odd number is 10.

Here the given series is 1, 3, 6, 11, 20, 37, ??,

and the logic behind the series is

1 x 2 + 1 = 3

3 x 2 + 0 = 6

6 x 2 + (-1) = 11

11 x 2 + (-2) = 20

20 x 2 + (-3) = 37

37 x 2 + (-4) = 70

Hence, the next number in the given series is 70.

Let the numbers be a and b.

Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.

The required sum =1a+1b = a+bab= 55600=11120

The pattern followed is +3 , +6 , +12 , +24 , +48

A:B:C = (10×7):(12×5):(15×3)

         = 70 :60 :45

         = 14 :12 :9

C's rent = Rs.(175×9/35)

            =Rs. 45.

Part filled in 4 minutes =4(1/15+1/20) = 7/15

Remaining part =(1-7/15) = 8/15

Part filled by B in 1 minute =1/20 : 8/15 :: 1:x 

x = (8/15*1*20) = 1023min = 10min 40sec

The tank will be full in (4 min. + 10 min. + 40 sec.) = 14 min. 40 sec
