Here the given number series is 0, 3, 8, 15, 24, ?

The next number in the given series can be found such a way that the number series follows a pattern,

$$\begin{gathered} 22 - 4 = 0 \\ 32 - 6 = 3 \\ 42 - 8 = 8 \\ 52 - 10 = 15 \\ 62 - 12 = 24 \\ 72 - 14 = 35 \\ Hence, the next number in the iven series is 35. \end{gathered}$$

= (69x85/3x100) + 10.7

= 30.25.

Given Today is 20th January 2017, Sunday

In january, we have 31 days

February - 28 days (Non leap year)

March - 31 days

April - 30 days

=> Remaining days => 31 - 20 = 11 in Jan

+ 28 in Feb + 31 in Mar = 11 + 28 + 31 = 70 days

More 20 days to complete 90 days => upto 20th April

Therefore, after 90 days from today i.e, 20th Jan 2017 is 20th Apr 2017.

Now, the day of the week will be 

90/7 => Remainder '6'

As the day starts with '0' on sunday 

6 => Saturday.

Required day is 20th April, Saturday.

Let the cost price of 1-liter pure milk be Re.1, then 

 6 liters (milk) → C.P = Rs. 62 liters (water) → C.P = Rs. 0→CP = Rs.6 only

8 litre mixture  =>

SP =>  8 x 2 = Rs. 16

Profit % = 16 - 66x100 = 10006 = 166.66%

48, 54, 63, 81 and 105 are divisible by 3 but not 35.

The given puzzle follows a logic that,

2 + 10 = 24 => 2 + 10 = 12 x 2 = 24

3 + 6 = 27 => 3 + 6 = 9 x 3 = 27

7 + 2 = 63 = 7 + 2 = 9 x 7 = 63

Similarly, 5 + 3 = 40 => 5 + 3 = 8 x 5 = 40.

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.
