Saw, Zipper and Gear have teeth but can bite us. Comb have teeth but cannot bite.

The pattern of given series is :

5

14 = (5x3) - 1

45 = (14x3) + 3

130 = (45x3) - 5

(?) = (130x3) + 7

=> (?) = 397

1182 = (397x3) - 9

Thus, the missing number is 397.

The given number series is 22, 11, 33, 16.5, 49.5, ?

22

22 / 2 = 11

11 x 3 = 33

33 / 2 = 16.5

16.5 x 3 = 49.5

49.5 / 2 = 24.75

Hence, the next number series is 24.75.

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. 

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.

A pencil is an implement for writing or drawing. It is a thin core of graphite well mixed with clay, inside a wooden body as protective casing that prevents the core from being broken.

'Internet' is the shortened form of 'INTERnational-NETwork' which is the interconnected network of all the Web Servers worldwide. It is often called the 'World Wide Web'. 

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.
