Given Number series is :

3   4   14   48   576   27648

It follows a pattern that,

3

4

4 x 3 = 12   but not 14

12 x 4 = 48

48 x 12 = 576

576 x 48 = 27648

Hence, the odd one in the given Number Series is 14.

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

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.

Let principal = P, Then, S.I.= P and Time = 8 years

We know that S.I. = PTR/100

Rate = [(100 x P)/ (P x 8)]% = 12.5% per annum.
