The given number series follows a pattern that

196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, ?

    -27  -25   -23   -21  -19  -17

=> 81 - 17 = 64

Therefore, the series is 196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, 64.

The given number series 410, 409, 413, 404, ? , follows a pattern that 

410

$$\begin{gathered} 410 - 13 = 409 \\ 409 + 22 = 413 \\ 413 - 33 = 404 \\ 404 + 42 = 420 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given series is 420.

In the figure, there are

5 columns containing 4 cubes each;

33 columns containing 3 cubes each;

9 columns containing 2 cubes each and 3 columns containing 1 cube each.

∴ Total Number of cubes = ( 5 x 4) + (33 x 3) + (9 x 2) + (3 x 1) = 20 + 99 + 18 + 3 = 140

The given number series is 180, 90, 60, 40, 36

It follows a pattern that,

180 x 1/2 = 90

90 x 2/3  = 60

60 x 3/4  = 45 (NOT 40)

45 x 4/5  = 36

Hence, the wrong number in the given series is 40.

Given series is 

12        16         32          68         ?

Here it follows a pattern that,

12

12 + (2x2) = 16

16 + (4x4) = 32

32 + (6x6) = 68

68 + (8x8) = 132

If the period between the two months is divisible by 7, then that two months will have the same calender .

 
(a). Oct + Nov  = 31 + 30 = 61 (not divisible by 7)

(b). Apr + May + Jun + Jul + Aug + Sep + Oct = 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31  = 214 (not divisible by 7)

(c). Jun + July + Aug + Sep = 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 = 122 (not divisible by 7)

(d). Apr + May + June = 30 + 31 + 30 = 91 (divisible by 7)

Hence, April and July months will have the same calendar.
