The given number series is 14, 27, 105, 525, 4993

14

14 x 2 - 1 = 27

27 x 4 - 3 = 105

105 x 6 - 5 = 625 (not 525)

625 x 8 - 7 = 4993

Hence, the odd man or number in the given number series is 525.

The given number series is 50, 51, 47, 56, 40, ?

$$\begin{gathered} 50 \\ 50 + 12 = 51 \\ 51 - 22 = 47 \\ 47 + 32 = 56 \\ 56 - 42 = 40 \\ 40 + 52 = 65 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 65.

The given number series is 3, 5, 13, 43, 167

3

3 x 1 + 2 = 5

5 x 2 + 3 = 13

13 x 3 + 4 = 43

43 x 4 + 5 = 177 (not equal to 167)

Hence, the odd number in the given number sequence is 167. 

Since, we have that,

The numerator and denominator is (8+x), which is a polynomial is continuous for all the real numbers i.e. for all x belonging to .

Thus, the limit exists and is given by,

limx→128+x8+x = 8+128+12= 1.

In India, Islamic rulers Qutb-ud-din Aibak imposed jizya on non-Muslims first time which was called kharaj-o-jizya. Jizya was abolished by the Mughal ruler Akbar in the 16th century but was re-introduced by Aurangzeb in the 17th century.

Given number series is 61, 66, 83, 121, 185

Here the given series follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 61 \\ 61 + 22 + 1 = 66 \\ 66 + 42 + 1 = 83 \\ 83 + 62 + 1 = 120 (not 121) \\ 120 + 82 + 1 = 185 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 121.

The given number series is 8, 14, 24, 40, ? .

It follows a pattern that,

8

8 x 1.5 + 2 = 14

14 x 1.5 + 3 = 24

24 x 1.5 + 4 = 40

40 x 1.5 + 5 = 65

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 65.

The given series is 1 6 27 124 650

1

1 + 2 x 2 = 6

6 + 3 x 3 = 27

27 + 4 x 4 = 124

124 + 5 x 5 = 645 (NOT 650)

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 650.
