The digits on either side of the letter in each of the groups 1P6, 2T0, and 1R8 indicate the place value of the letter in the alphabet.

This pattern is not followed by 2Y4.

From the given data,

Let the two gits of a number be x & y

A) x + y = 15

B) x2 - y2 = 45

(x+y) (x - y) = 45

C) x - y = 3

From any 2 of the given 3 statements, we can find that 2 digit number as 

2x = 18 => x = 9

=> y = 6

Hence, 2 digit number is 96.

Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to find.

The given number series is 10, 21, 54, 109, 189

The series follows a pattern that

10 + 11 = 21

21 + 33 = 54

54 + 55 = 109

109 + 77 = 186

Hence the wrong number in the given number series is 189.

The given number series is 2, 3, 7, 16, 32, ?

$$\begin{gathered} 2 \\ 2 + 12 = 3 \\ 3 + 22 = 7 \\ 7 + 32 = 16 \\ 16 + 42 = 32 \\ 32 + 52 = 57 \\ \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 57.

Let the filling capacity of the pump be x m3/min. 

Then, emptying capacity of the pump=(x+10)m3/min.  

so,2400x-2400x+10=8 ⇔x2+10x-3000=0 

⇒x-50+x+60=0 ⇔x=50

The given number series 9, 19, 21, 43, 45, ... follows a pattern that

ALternately (x 2 + 1) and  (x 1 + 2)

9 

9 x 2 + 1 = 19

19 x 1 + 2 = 21

21 x 2 + 1 = 43

43 x 1 + 2 = 45

45 x 2 + 1 = 91

Hence, the next number in the given sequence is 91.

Given total number of rats = 999919

999919 = 1000000 - 81 = 10002 - 92 = (1000+9)(1000-9) = 1009 x 991.
Since there were more rats than there were cats, 991 cats killed 1009 rats each.
