The given series follows a pattern that,

+4, +6, +8, +10, +12...

5

5 + 4 = 9

9 + 6 = 15

15 + 8 = 23

23 + 10 = 33

33 + 12 = 45

Hence, the missing number in the series is 33.

Let Rajeev's present age be  x years.

Rajeev's age after 15 years = (x + 15) years.

Rajeev's age 5 years back = (x - 5) years

Then ATQ, 

x + 15 = 5 (x - 5)

x + 15 = 5x - 25

=> x = 10

Hence, Rajeev's present age = x = 10 years.

Given M.P=45,S.P=42, Profit = 0.05

Let C.P=x , Then

Profit = (42-x)/x = 0.05
=> x = 40.

The given series follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 4 + 32 = 4 + 9 = 13 \\ 13 + 52 = 13 + 25 = 38 \\ 38 + 72 = 38 + 49 = 87 \\ 87 + 92 = 87 + 81 = 198 \end{gathered}$$ 

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 12.

Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',
Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)
Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",
So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]
We get 6P = 10Q,
Substitute value for Q,
6P = 10(64 - P),
Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.
