The given series follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 4 + 32 = 4 + 9 = 13 \\ 13 + 52 = 13 + 25 = 38 \\ 38 + 72 = 38 + 49 = 87 \\ 87 + 92 = 87 + 81 = 198 \end{gathered}$$ 

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 12.

Platypus is the animal that gives both milk and eggs.

Observe that in each column, square of sum of digits in the first row = Respective second row elements.

In the same way, square of sum of digits in the second row = Respective third row elements.

=> 6+42=102=100

=> 4+92=132=169

=> 8+12=92=81.

The given series is 1 6 27 124 650

1

1 + 2 x 2 = 6

6 + 3 x 3 = 27

27 + 4 x 4 = 124

124 + 5 x 5 = 645 (NOT 650)

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 650.

Yard is to Inch as Quart is to Ounce.

Because Yard and Inch are units of measurement Where Yard is larger than Inch i.e, 1 Yard = 36 Inches.

So, here Quart and Ounce are also units of measurement where Quart is larger than Ounce i.e, 1 Quart = 32 Ounces.

Gallon is not correct because Gallon is larger than Quart and Milk and Liquid are not units of measurement.

So, Ounce is correct.

The given number series is 8, 11, 19, 23, 32, ?

It follows a pattern that

8 + 11 = 19

11 + 12 = 23

19 + 13 = 32

23 + 14 = 37

32 + 15 = 47

....

Hence, the next number in the given series = 37.

The given number series is 50, 51, 47, 56, 40, ?

$$\begin{gathered} 50 \\ 50 + 12 = 51 \\ 51 - 22 = 47 \\ 47 + 32 = 56 \\ 56 - 42 = 40 \\ 40 + 52 = 65 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 65.

By mistake = x/10 

Actual value = x * 10 

% Change = 10x-x1010x×100 = 99100×100  = 99% (negative)

Since actual value is greater than the wrong value.
