Given number series is 5  19  49  101  181  295 ?

Here the series follows pattern that

5   19   49   101   181   295  ?

  14   30   52    80     114   (difference)

      16  22   28     34 (difference)

         6     6     6  (Common difference)

Therefore, the missing number in the series is ? = 295 + 115 + 34 + 6 = 449.

The given number series is 125,   138,   164,   ?,   255

125

125 + 13x1 = 138

138 + 13x2 = 164

164 + 13x3 = 203

203 + 13x4 = 255

Hence, the missing number in the series is 203.

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} 40100 x 75 + 80100 x 25 = K100 x 250 \\ 30 + 20 = 5K2 \\ 50 x 2 = 5K \\ K = 1005 = 20 \end{gathered}$$

Let the given numbers be A, B, C, D, E, F, G.

Then, A, A x 1 + 1, B x 2 + 2, C x 3 + 3, D x 4 + 4, E x 5 + 5, F x 6 + 6 are the required numbers.

Clearly, 228 is wrong.

The next number in the series is

143 143 136 110

      0    7      26 (Differences)

 $$\begin{gathered} 13 - 1 , 23 - 1, 33 - 1, 43 - 1,... \\ Now the next number is given by \\ 110 - (43 - 1) = 110 - 63 = 47. \end{gathered}$$

4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apart.
To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart.
Minute hand will have to gain 50 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min 

50 min. spaces are gained in 6055×50 min. or 54611 

Required time = 54611 min. past 4.

Let the average after 7th inning = x

Then average after 16th inning = x - 3

16(x-3)+87 = 17x 

 x = 87 - 48 = 39
