The given number series follows a pattern that

11

11 - 5.5 = 5.5

5.5 + 4.5 = 10

10 - 3.5 = 6.5

6.5 + 2.5 = 9

9 - 1.5 = 7.5

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 7.5.

Given number sequence is 28, 16, 28, 76, 274

Here the sequence follows a pattern that

28

28 x 0.5 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16

16 x 1.5 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28

28 x 2.5 + 6 = 70 + 6 = 76

76 x 3.5 + 8 = 266 + 8 = 274

274 x 4.5 + 10 = 1233 + 10 = 1243

Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 1243.

The given number series is 3, 5, 13, 43, 167

3

3 x 1 + 2 = 5

5 x 2 + 3 = 13

13 x 3 + 4 = 43

43 x 4 + 5 = 177 (not equal to 167)

Hence, the odd number in the given number sequence is 167. 

The given number series 8, 18, 56, 232, 1165 

8

8 x 2 + 2 = 18

18 x 3 + 3 = 57 (not 56)

57 x 4 + 4 = 232

232 x 5 + 5 = 1165

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 56.

The pattern is x1+3, x 2, x1+3, x 3, x1+3, x 4

The next number=60x4=240

The given number series is 6, 8, 5, 10, 4, 14

6

6 + 2 = 8

8 - 3 = 5

5 + 5 = 10

10 - 7 = 3

3 + 11 = 14

...

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 4.

The given number series is 14, 27, 105, 525, 4993

14

14 x 2 - 1 = 27

27 x 4 - 3 = 105

105 x 6 - 5 = 625 (not 525)

625 x 8 - 7 = 4993

Hence, the odd man or number in the given number series is 525.

Platypus is the animal that gives both milk and eggs.
