114       131     165     216     ?      369

   +17      +34     +51     +68    +85

=> The missing number in the given Number series = 216 + 68 = 284.

Here the series follows the pattern that, product of succesive prime numbers i.e,

 2 × 3 = 6

 3 × 5 = 15

 5 × 7 = 35

 7 × 11 = 77

 11 × 13 = 143

 13 × 17 = 221

 17 × 19 = 323

So here in place of 77 the number 63 is written.

So the wrong number is 63.

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.

The working principle of a washing machine is centrifugation.

Centrifugation is a separation process which uses the action of centrifugal force to promote accelerated settling of particles in a solid-liquid mixture.

The washing machine consists of centrifuge for this purpose. A centrifuge is a piece of equipment that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying a force perpendicular to the axis of spin that can be very strong.

The given series of numbers follow the rule that,

2880/6 = 480
480/5   = 96
96/4     = 24
24/3     = 8
8/2       = 4
4/1       = 4

But 92 is not in the rule. It is the wrong number in the given series.

Given the number series is 4, 6, 12, 30, 81, 315.

Here it follows a pattern that

4

4 x 1.5 = 6

6 x 2 = 12

12 x 2.5 = 30

30 x 3 = 90 not equals to 81

90 x 3.5 = 315

Hence the odd one in the series is 81.

Here in the given series, it follows a pattern that

77 + 2 = 79

79  - 3 = 76

76 + 5 = 81

81 -  7 = 74

74 + 11 = 85

Consecutive adding and subtracting of prime numbers.

So the wrong number in the given series is 75.
