The given series is 1/2, 1, 3/2, 6, 5/2, 3

1/2

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

1 + 1/2 = 3/2

3/2 + 1/2 = 2 (Not 6)

2 + 1/2 = 5/2

5/2 + 1/2 = 3

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 6.

Here in the alphabets the letter U is missing and it represents the word MISSING YOU (U).

If you add all the terms of the LHS of equality, then the last letter of the sum written in words would give you the RHS.

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 = FOUR

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 = EIGHT

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 = TWELVE

4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 = SIXTEEN

So, following the same pattern.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 = TWENTY

That gives us our answer to 5 5 5 5 =  "Y".

Two series alternate here, with every third number following a different pattern.
In the main series, 4 is added to each number to arrive the next.
In alternate series, 5 is subtracted from each number t arrive the next number.
Here in the main series
3 + 4 = 7
7 + 4 = 11
11 + 4 = 15
15 + 4 = 19

In alternate series
24 - 5 = 19
19 - 5 = 14...

SP2 = 2/3 SP1
CP = 100
SP2 = 80
2/3 SP1 = 80

SP1 = 120
100 --- 20   => 20%

Recall it is based on inverse proportion or product constancy concept.

     Reducion in price                      increase in amount

         25%     1/4                              1/3   33.33% = 4 oranges

It means original number of oranges = 4 x 3 = 12

original price of oranges = 16/12 = Rs. 1.33
