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.

The given number series follows a pattern that

11

11 - 5.5 = 5.5

5.5 + 4.5 = 10

10 - 3.5 = 6.5

6.5 + 2.5 = 9

9 - 1.5 = 7.5

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 7.5.

The given number series is 3, 11, 80, 291, 803

$$\begin{gathered} 3 \\ 3 + 23 = 3 + 8 = 11 \\ 11 + 43 = 11 + 64 = 75 (not 80) \\ 75 + 63 = 75 + 216 = 291 \\ 291 + 83 = 291 + 512 = 803 \end{gathered}$$

B covers 28 meters in 7sec. So, B's time over the course = (7/28)*100 =250 sec.

Whereas A's time over the course = 250 -7 = 243 sec.

i.e A's time over the course is 4min , 3 sec.

x weeks x days = (7x + x) days = 8x days.
