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.

Let the cost of a table and that of a chair be Rs. x and Rs, y respectively.

Then, 2x + 3y = 3500 ...(i)

and 3x + 2y = 4000 .....(ii)

solving (i) and (ii) we get x = 1000, y = 500 

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

Total age of 4 members, 10 years ago = (24 x 4) years = 96 years.

Total age of 4 members now = [96 + (10 x 4)] years = 136 years.

Total age of 6 members now = (24 x 6) years = 144 years.

Sum of the ages of 2 children = (144 - 136) years = 8 years.

Let the age of the younger child be x years.

Then, age of the elder child = (x+2) years.

So, x+(x+2) =8 <=> x=3

Age of younger child  =  3 years.

Originally let there be x men.

Less men, More days     (Indirect Proportion)

 Therefore, (x-10) : x  :: 100 :110

=> (x - 10) * 110 = x * 100    => x= 110

Clearly 4864 is divisible by 4
So, 9 P 2 must be divisible by 3. So (9+P+2) must be divisible by 3.
So P=1.
