Here the given series is 1, 3, 6, 11, 20, 37, ??,

and the logic behind the series is

1 x 2 + 1 = 3

3 x 2 + 0 = 6

6 x 2 + (-1) = 11

11 x 2 + (-2) = 20

20 x 2 + (-3) = 37

37 x 2 + (-4) = 70

Hence, the next number in the given series is 70.

Here in the given number series 49, 81, 121, 169, 196, 225

Except 196 all others are squares of odd numbers, whereas 196 is a square of 14 which is an even number.

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 196.

The given number series follows a pattern that

196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, ?

    -27  -25   -23   -21  -19  -17

=> 81 - 17 = 64

Therefore, the series is 196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, 64.

Given number series is 5  19  49  101  181  295 ?

Here the series follows pattern that

5   19   49   101   181   295  ?

  14   30   52    80     114   (difference)

      16  22   28     34 (difference)

         6     6     6  (Common difference)

Therefore, the missing number in the series is ? = 295 + 115 + 34 + 6 = 449.

From statement (b)
Average of 11 players = 11 x 28 = 308
Average of 10 players = 10 x 27.3 = 273
Age of captain = 308 - 273 = 35.

From the Statement (a) we can say that captain's age (C) = y + 11 ...(1) where y-youngers age
From the statement (c),the averge age of 3groups of 3players each was given,
It means total 9 players age was given indirectly,
1st group: 25 x 3 = 75
2nd group: 28 x 3 = 84
3rd group: 30 x 3 = 90
Total  is 75 + 84 + 90 = 249
Now {C + Y + (9 players age sum)}/11 = 28
Y + 11 + Y + (249) = 28 x 11=308
2Y+260=308
2Y = 308-260 = 40 ==> Y=24 ==> C(captain's age)= Y+11 = 24+11 = 35

Therefore, statement b alone or a & c only is the answer.

It is Charcoal which is black when we buy it or when not being used. It gets red in appearance when put in use means to say when burning. And eventually when it's been consumed by fire or after getting burned out or used up, changes into ashes which look grey in color.

Given series is 

12        16         32          68         ?

Here it follows a pattern that,

12

12 + (2x2) = 16

16 + (4x4) = 32

32 + (6x6) = 68

68 + (8x8) = 132
