The Given number series 3, 6.5, 14, 29, 64, 136 follows a pattern that

3

3 x 2 + 0.5 = 6.5

6.5 x 2 + 1 = 14

14 x 2 + 2 = 30 ≠29

30 x 2 + 4 = 64

64 x 2 + 8 = 136

Thus the wrong number in the series is 29

The fruit content in both the fresh fruit and dry fruit is the same.

Given, fresh fruit has 68% water.so remaining 32% is fruit content. weight of fresh fruits is 100kg

Dry fruit has 20% water.so remaining 80% is fruit content.let weight if dry fruit be y kg.

Fruit % in freshfruit = Fruit% in dryfruit 

Therefore, (32/100) x 100 = (80/100 ) x y 

we get, y = 40 kg.

1, 1 + 1² = 2, 2 + 2² = 6, 6 + 3² = 15, 15 + 4² = 31, 31 + 5² = 56, 56 + 6² = 92

Last number of given series must be 92 not 91.

Amount = Rs.(30000+4347) = Rs.34347

let the time be n years

Then,30000(1+7/100)^n = 34347

(107/100)^n = 34347/30000 = 11449/10000 = (107/100)^2

n = 2years

Let the original price be Rs. 100.

New final price  = 120 %  of (75 % of Rs. 100) = Rs. [(120/100) * (75/100) * 100] = Rs. 90.

Decrease = 10%

The given number series follows the pattern that,

24×0 + 4  = 4  

4×1  + 9   = 13

13×2 + 16 = 42

42×3 + 25  = 151

151×4 + 36 =  640

Therefore, the odd number in the given series is 41

The series follows the following pattern

5 X 5 – 5 = 20

20 X 4 – 4 = 76

76 X 3 – 3 = 225

225 X 2 – 2 = 448

Hence, the term 225 denoted by (d) completes the series
