Here the given number series  3, 10.5, 36.75, 128.625, ? follows a pattern that

3

3 x 3.5 = 10.5

10.5 x 3.5 = 36.75

36.75 x 3.5 = 128.625

128.625 x 3.5 = 450.187

Hence the next number in the given number series is 450.187.

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.

The given series is 6, 6, 12, 36, 144, 720, ?

6

6 x 1 = 6

6 x 2 = 12

12 x 3 = 36

36 x 4 = 144

144 x 5 = 720

720 x 6 = 4320

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 4320.

As the sentence talks about the past it is apt to say. 'Had you been more careful ...'.

The given number series 410, 409, 413, 404, ? , follows a pattern that 

410

$$\begin{gathered} 410 - 13 = 409 \\ 409 + 22 = 413 \\ 413 - 33 = 404 \\ 404 + 42 = 420 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given series is 420.

In this type of problems the formuae is
(5*x+ or - t)*12/11
Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time. Here x is 5.
t is spaces apart

  Case 1 : (5*x + t) * 12/11

 (5*5 + 3) * 12/11

 28 * 12/11 = 336/11= 31511 min

therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 31 5/11 min past 5.

Case 2 : (5*x - t) * 12/11

(5*5 -3 ) * 12/11

 22 *12/11 = 24 min 

 therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 24 min past 5

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.
