We know that,

Odd days --> days more than complete weeks

Number of odd days in 400/800/1200/1600/2000 years are 0.

Hence, the number of odd days in first 1600 years are 0.

Number of odd days in 300 years = 1

Number of odd days in 49 years = (12 x 2 + 37 x 1) = 61 days = 5 odd days

Total number of odd days in 1949 years = 1 + 5 = 6 odd days

Now look at the year 1950

Jan 26 = 26 days = 3 weeks + 5 days = 5 odd days

Total number of odd days = 6 + 5 = 11 => 4 odd days

Odd days :-

0 = sunday ;

1 = monday ;

2 = tuesday ;

3 = wednesday ;

4 = thursday ;

5 = friday ;

6 = saturday

Therefore, Jan 26th 1950 was Thursday.

The letters move 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, ... steps forward.

Here the given number analogy follows two patterns that,

6 

18 --> 6 x 3

4

12 --> 4 x 3

OR

6

18 ----> 6x6/2 = 18

4

8 ----> 4x4/2 = 8

As 12 is not available in the options, 8 is correct answer.

The given number series is 35, 36, 55, 111, ?

35

35 x 1 + 1 = 36

36 x 1.5 + 1 = 55

55 x 2 + 1 = 111

111 x 2.5 + 1 = 278.5

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 278.5.
