Man's rate in still water = (15 - 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr.

Therefore,  Man's rate against the current = (12.5 - 2.5) = 10 km/hr.

The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.

When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.

Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).

Now, 5 (4 + 1) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.

The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.

Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

Here the given number series is 5  11  21  44  ?  175

Now the given series follows a pattern, that

x2 + 1, x2 - 1, x2 + 2, x2 - 2, x2 + 3, x2 - 3,...

Then the missing number is x2 - 2

= 44 x 2 - 2 = 88 - 2 = 86

Hence, the missing number in the number series is 86.

Commission up to 10000 = 10000x9100 = 900 

Again after 10000, 

              Commission    :   Bonus 

                           9       :   3 

                         3x        :   x

 Therefore,   Bonus = 1380-900×14 = Rs. 120

Here the given number series is 0, 3, 8, 15, 24, ?

The next number in the given series can be found such a way that the number series follows a pattern,

$$\begin{gathered} 22 - 4 = 0 \\ 32 - 6 = 3 \\ 42 - 8 = 8 \\ 52 - 10 = 15 \\ 62 - 12 = 24 \\ 72 - 14 = 35 \\ Hence, the next number in the iven series is 35. \end{gathered}$$

By replacing the “?” with “x”

(12.5×14÷8.75) x (100/100) + 42 = 50 + X

(125*140)/875 + 42 = 50 + X

140/7 + 42 = 50 + X

20 + 42 = 50 + X

62 = 50 + X

X = 62 - 50

X = 12
