We know that,

● Each digit has a fixed position called its place.

● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit.

● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself

● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).

Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.

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.

One way to deal with fractions is to convert them all to decimals. 

In this case all you would need to do is to see which is greater than 0.5.

Otherwise to see which is greater than ½, double the numerator and see if the result is greater than the denominator. In B doubling the numerator gives us 8, which is bigger than 7. 

The given number series follows a pattern that,

9

9 x 0.5 + 0.5 = 5

5 x 1 + 1 = 6

6 x 2 + 2 = 14

14 x 4 + 4 = 60 (not equals to 56)

60 x 8 + 8 = 488.

Hence, the odd one in the given number series is 56.

Stars are what that come out at night without being called and are lost in the day without being stolen.

S.I. for 1 year =  Rs. (854 - 815) = Rs. 39.

S.I. for 3 years = Rs.(39 x 3) = Rs. 117.

Principal = Rs. (815 - 117) = Rs. 698

Poor people have Nothing

Rich people need Nothing

If you eat Nothing you die.

Hence, it is Nothing.
