let the sum lent at 5% be Rs.x and that lent at 8% be Rs.(1550-x). then, 

Interest on x at 5% for 3 years + interest on (1550-x) at 8% for 3 years = 300

 x*5*3100+1500-x*8*3100=300 

 x=800

Required ratio =  x : (1550-x) = 800 : (1550-800) = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15

The given number series is  21 56 102 160 231 316

21      56       102        160      231       316         416

   +35    +46       +58       +71      +85       +100

        +11      +12       +13      +14      +15

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 316 + 100 = 416.

Area of 4 walls = 2(l+b)h
=2(10+7) x 5 = 170 sq m
Area of 2 doors and 3 windows = 2(1x3)+(2x1.5)+2(1x1.5) = 12 sq m
area to be planted = 170 -12 = 158 sq m

Cost of painting = Rs. 158 x 3 = Rs. 474
