Her the given number series is 11, 17, 39, 85, ?

$$\begin{gathered} 11 \\ 11 + 32 - 3 = 17 \\ 17 + (52 - 3) = 39 \\ 39 + (72 - 3) = 85 \\ 85 + (92 - 3) = 163 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given sequence is 163.

7  4  6

7  4  1

7  4  6

Justification:      

In the first and third statements, the common word is 'na' and the common word is 'are'.

So, 'na' means 'are'.
In the second and third statements, the common code word is 'tok' and the common word is 'bad'.
So, 'tok' means 'bad'.
Thus, in the third statements, 'tim' stands for 'they'.
