Onam is an annual Hindu festival with origins in the state of Kerala in India. It falls in the Malayalam calendar month of Chingam, which in Gregorian calendar overlaps with August–September. In this festival, boat races are famous.

Here the given series is 1, 3, 6, 11, 20, 37, ??,

and the logic behind the series is

1 x 2 + 1 = 3

3 x 2 + 0 = 6

6 x 2 + (-1) = 11

11 x 2 + (-2) = 20

20 x 2 + (-3) = 37

37 x 2 + (-4) = 70

Hence, the next number in the given series is 70.

$$\begin{gathered} [(K-L)2-K+L2]4K = ab \\ K2+L2-2KL-K2+L2+2KL4K= ab \end{gathered}$$

=> - 4KL/4K = a/b

=> L = - a/b

=> bL = -a

Here in the given number series 49, 81, 121, 169, 196, 225

Except 196 all others are squares of odd numbers, whereas 196 is a square of 14 which is an even number.

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 196.

The given number series follows a pattern that,

9

9 x 0.5 + 0.5 = 5

5 x 1 + 1 = 6

6 x 2 + 2 = 14

14 x 4 + 4 = 60 (not equals to 56)

60 x 8 + 8 = 488.

Hence, the odd one in the given number series is 56.

51 + 52 + 53 + ...........+ 100

 = (1 + 2 + 3 + .... + 100) - (1 + 2 + 3 + ...... + 50)

 = It is in the form of n(n+1)2 series summation

= n1 = 100 , n2 = 50

=100100+12 - 5050+12

 =  (5050 - 1275) = 3775

Here the given number series  3, 10.5, 36.75, 128.625, ? follows a pattern that

3

3 x 3.5 = 10.5

10.5 x 3.5 = 36.75

36.75 x 3.5 = 128.625

128.625 x 3.5 = 450.187

Hence the next number in the given number series is 450.187.

Here Grass is to Erosion and whereas Dam is to Water.

Since Grass prevents Erosion similarly Dam prevents Water flow.

Hence, Grass : Erosion :: Dam : Water.
