The given series follows the pattern that,

×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5

38 x 5 + 5  = 195

195 x 5 + 5 = 980

980 x 5 + 5 = 4905

4905 x 5 + 5 = 24530

24530 x 5 + 5 = 122655

So the missing number is 980 .

Suppose B joined for x months . Then,  ( 85000 * 12 )/(42500 * x) = 3. or x = (85000 * 12) / (42500 * 3) = 8.

So, B joined for 8 months.

Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres.

Original area = xy sq.m 

Increased length  = 120100 and Increased breadth = 120100 

New area = 120100x*120100y=3625xy m2 

The difference between the Original area  and New area  is:  

3625xy-xy

1125xy Increase % =1125xyxy*100= 44%

Speed =   6005×60 m/sec= 2 m/sec = 2 x (18/5) km/hr = 7.2 km/hr

Let the two conditioners be A and B

'A' cools at 40min

'B' at 45min

Together = (a x b)/(a + b)

= (45 x 40)/(45 + 40)

= 45 x 40/85

= 21.1764

= 22 min (approx).

Let the numbers 13a and 13b.

Then, 13a x 13b = 2028

=>ab = 12.

Now, the co-primes with product 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4).

[Note: Two integers a and b are said to be coprime or relatively prime if they have no common positive factor other than 1 or, equivalently, if their greatest common divisor is 1 ]

So, the required numbers are (13 x 1, 13 x 12) and (13 x 3, 13 x 4).

Clearly, there are 2 such pairs.

Here the given number series is 3, 14, 36, 67, 113, 168

It follows a pattern that

3

3 + 1 x 11 = 3 + 11 = 14

14 + 2 x 11 = 14 + 22 = 36

36 + 3 x 11 = 36 + 33 = 69

69 + 4 x 11 = 69 + 44 = 113

113 + 5 x 11 = 113 + 55 = 168

Hence, the wrong number is 67.
