The given number series follows the pattern that,

24×0 + 4  = 4  

4×1  + 9   = 13

13×2 + 16 = 42

42×3 + 25  = 151

151×4 + 36 =  640

Therefore, the odd number in the given series is 41

4       30       ?     1440       7195      71940

Here the given series follows a pattern of

4

4 x 10 - 10 = 30

30 x 5 - 5  = 145

145 x 10 - 10 = 1440

1440 x 5 - 5 = 7195

7195 x 10 - 10 = 71940

Hence, the missing number is 145

Let the numbers be 3x, 4x and 5x.

Then, their L.C.M. = 60x.

So, 60x = 2400 or x = 40.

 The numbers are (3 x 40), (4 x 40) and (5 x 40).

Hence, required H.C.F. = 40.

Weekend means Saturday & Sunday together. In total we have 52 weeks in a year. So there are 52 weekends in a year.

In normal we have 104 Weekend Days.

 We know that a Each normal year has 365 days or 52 weeks plus one day, and each week has two weekend days, which means there are approximately 104 weekend days each year.
Whereas in a leap year we have 366 days it adds one more day to the year. And what makes the change is the starting day of the year.

The Given number series 3, 6.5, 14, 29, 64, 136 follows a pattern that

3

3 x 2 + 0.5 = 6.5

6.5 x 2 + 1 = 14

14 x 2 + 2 = 30 ≠29

30 x 2 + 4 = 64

64 x 2 + 8 = 136

Thus the wrong number in the series is 29

Alternatively 23 is added and 17 is subtracted from the terms. So, 634 is wrong.

 22 = 2 x 11

 54 = 2×33

108 = 22×33

135 = 33×5 

198 = 2×32×11

 ∴ L.C.M = 22×33×5×11=5940

The given number series follows a pattern that

5 x 5 – 1 = 24

24 x 4 – 2 = 94

94 x 3 – 3 = 279

279 x 2 – 4 = 554
