The given series 24.3, 23.1, 20.7, 17.1, 12.4 follows a pattern that

24.3

24.3 - 1.2 = 23.1

23.1 - 2.4 = 20.7

20.7 - 3.6 = 17.1

17.1 - 4.8 = 12.3 not 12.4

Hence, the odd man or odd number in the given series is 12.4

Given Transition is to Change, and we know that Transition and change are Synonyms. Similarly, Immobility means not moving and synonym of immobility are motionlessness, stillness,...

Hence, Transition is to change as immobility is to stillness.

We can get this by any of two explanations.

Answer 1: 41

7 = 3 + 4  = 34

Similarly, 5 = 4 + 1  = 41

Answer 2 :  41

7 - 3 = 4  => 34

Similarly, 5 - 4 = 1  => 41

The given series follows the pattern that

So the missing number is  37 + 38 = 75

75 + 66 = 141

....

41% of 600 - 250 = ? - 77% of 900

⇒ 246 - 250 = ? - 693

⇒ 246 -250 + 693 = ?

⇒ ? = 689

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.

Given number series is 61, 66, 83, 121, 185

Here the given series follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 61 \\ 61 + 22 + 1 = 66 \\ 66 + 42 + 1 = 83 \\ 83 + 62 + 1 = 120 (not 121) \\ 120 + 82 + 1 = 185 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 121.
