Solution:

If you are habitual of solving series problems, this might not take much of your time.
First digit = 8
Second digit = 24 (8*3)
Third digit = 12 (24/2)
Fourth digit = 36 (12*3)
Fifth digit = 18 (36/2)
Sixth digit = 52 (18*3)

Thus seventh digit will be 52/2 = 17

Solution:

45 minutes

Explanation :
All you have to do is burn the first rope from both the ends and the second rope from one end only simultaneously. The first rope will burn in 30 minutes (half of an hour since we burned from both sides) while the other rope would have burnt half. At this moment, light the second rope from the other end as well. Where, the second rope would have taken half an hour more to burn completely, it will take just 15 minutes as we have lit it from the other end too.

Thus you have successfully calculated 30+15 = 45 minutes with the help of the two given ropes.

Explanation:
The score obtained on the first throw is 10.
The score obtained on the second throw is 15.
The score obtained on the third throw is 9.
The score obtained on the fourth throw is 20.
The score obtained on the fifth throw is 12.

Solution:

36 meters.

100/v1 = 80/v2
100/v2 = 80/v3

20+(20/v2)*v3=20+16 = 36
