The given number series is 152, 124, 96, 69, 40

152

152 - 28 = 124

124 - 28 = 96

96 - 28 = 68 (not 69)

68 - 28 = 40

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 69.

The given number series is 35, 36, 55, 111, ?

35

35 x 1 + 1 = 36

36 x 1.5 + 1 = 55

55 x 2 + 1 = 111

111 x 2.5 + 1 = 278.5

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 278.5.

let ABCD be the given parallelogram 

area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x (area of triangle ABC) 

now a = 30m, b = 14m and c = 40m

 s=1/2 x (30+14+40) = 42 

Area of triangle ABC = ss-as-bs-c  

= 4212282= 168sq m 

area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x 168 = 336 sq m

Let original length = x and original breadth = y.

Original area = xy. 

New length = x/2 and New breadth=3y 

New area = 32xy 

Therefore,  Increase in area = New area-original area = 32xy-xy=12xy 

Therefore,  Increase % = increase in area original area*100=12xyxy*100=50 %

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.

100 cm is read as 102 cm. 

A1 = (100*100)Sq.cm 

A2 = (102*102)Sq.cm

(A2 - A1) = 1022-1002 = (102 + 100) x (102 - 100) = 404 sq.cm.

The given number series is 96, 95, 87, 78, ? 

It follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 96 \\ 96 - 12 = 95 \\ 95 - 23 = 95 - 8 = 87 \\ 87 - 32 = 87 - 9 = 78 \\ 78 - 43 = 78 - 64 = 14 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 14.

M + Tu + W + Th = 4 x 48 = 192
Tu + W + Th + F = 4 x 46 = 184
M = 42
Tu + W + Th = 192 - 42 = 150
F = 184 – 150 = 34
