The given number series is 

71      88       113       150       203          277

   +17    +25       +37      +53        +74

        +8      +12        +16       +21

            +4          +4         +5

The series should be  71  88  112   150    203   276 i.e, the differences of the difference should be +4.

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 277.

let length = x and breadth = y then  

2(x+y) = 46         =>   x+y = 23  

x²+y² = 17² = 289  

now (x+y)² = 23² 

=> x²+y²+2xy= 529 

=> 289+ 2xy = 529

=> xy = 120  

area = xy = 120 sq.cm

The given number series is 120, 36, 6, 2, 1, 1

120

120/5 = 24 (not 36)

24/4 = 6

6/3 = 2

2/2 = 1

1/1 = 1

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 24.

Time from 5 am. on a day to 10 pm. on 4th day = 89 hours.

Now 23 hrs 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.

356/15 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock

89 hrs of this clock = (24 x 31556 x 89) hrs of correct clock.

= 90 hrs of correct clock.

So, the correct time is 11 p.m.

A's Salary  = 40% of B = 40% of (25% of C) = 40/100[(52/100)*100] % of C = 10% of C.

(x * 5) = (0.75 *8)

X=6/5 = 1.20
