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.

In India, Islamic rulers Qutb-ud-din Aibak imposed jizya on non-Muslims first time which was called kharaj-o-jizya. Jizya was abolished by the Mughal ruler Akbar in the 16th century but was re-introduced by Aurangzeb in the 17th century.

Pattern is

• 3

• 3 x 3.5 = 10.5

• 10.5 x 3.5 = 36.75

• 36.75 x 3.5 = 128.625

• 128.625 x 3.5 = 450.187

Given series follows the rule of

1050/2.5 = 420
420/2.5 = 168
168/2.5 = 67.2
so 67.2/2.5 = 26.88

The given series 16, 254, 1296, 4096, 10000 follows a pattern that

24, 44, 64, 84, 104,...

Hence, the odd man in the series is 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256 not 254.

Time = (100 x 81) / (450 x 4.5) = 4 years.

The sum of square of two no is 116 i.e no lie 1-11, because 11x11 =121 which is greater than 116
again after cheaking all possible pair of no only 4 and 10 satisfy this condsn , again the progression is of positive integer so 10 cant not be 1st term
so the 1st term is 4,
but from the 2nd we cant able to find the 1st term

so only 1st statement is sufficient to answer the question
