Given equation can be written as

$$\begin{gathered} 215 x 103 + ? = 24 \\ => 14 + ? = 24 \\ => ? = 24 - 14 \\ => ? = 10 \end{gathered}$$

Given a x a = 12

asked to find a x a x a x a =  (a x a) x (a x a)

a⁴ = a² x a² 

= 12 x 12

= 144.

Here the given series follows a pattern that, multiplying the number with odd numbers in decreasing order starting with 13. That is,

6 × 13 = 78

65 × 11 = 858

858 × 9 = 7722

7722 × 7 = 54054

54054 × 5 = 270270

Hence, the wrong number is 54055

Clearly, the numerators of the fractions in the given sequence follow the series of 2, 3, 5, 7,... and the denominator follows 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, ...
Then, the next term in the given sequence is  935 = 9243 = 127 .

The given series is 8, 14, 24, 60, 180

8

8 x 1.5 = 12 (NOT 14)

12 x 2 = 24

24 x 2.5 = 60

60 x 3 = 180

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

Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.
[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.
Let the speed of the train be 'S' km/hr.
Then, relative speed = (S - 5) km/hr.
S - 5 = 45 => S = 50 km/hr.

Here the given number series is 3, 14, 36, 67, 113, 168

It follows a pattern that

3

3 + 1 x 11 = 3 + 11 = 14

14 + 2 x 11 = 14 + 22 = 36

36 + 3 x 11 = 36 + 33 = 69

69 + 4 x 11 = 69 + 44 = 113

113 + 5 x 11 = 113 + 55 = 168

Hence, the wrong number is 67.

From both statements we cannot conclude the train catched by Harish

Since he missed at 4.15 and train coes at 4.30, 4.45, 5.00,...

But in B given that he didn't catch the train at 4.45 and after that.

So both statements A & B together are not sufficient to answer the question.
