Solution:

40 or 96

Explanation:
Solution A :
Add the rhs of the last line to the current line
1 + 4 = 5
5 + 2 + 5 = 12
12 + 3 + 6 = 21
21 + 8 + 11 = 40

Solution B :
RHS = 1ST NUMBER + (1ST NUMBER * 2ND NUMBER)
1 + (1 x 4) = 5
2 + (2 x 5) = 12
3 + (3 x 6) = 21
8 + (8 x 11) = 96

Solution:

7, 4, 6, 5, 8

Solution:

9

Explanation:
2 < 3 < 5
To find out the required number of candies, take one in place of the least number (i.e. take one mango candy) and then add all the greater numbers (i.e. three strawberry and five pineapple candies) to it.

Required number of balls = 1 + 3 + 5 = 9.

Solution:

1/3

Explanation
Assuming T1 is the Toy for brother1, T2 is the toy for brother2 and T3 is the toy for brother3.

Following are the possible cases for toys distribution:

Boy1 Boy2 Boy3
T1 T2 T3
T1 T3 T2
T2 T1 T3
T2 T3 T1 .... (A)
T3 T1 T2 .... (B)
T3 T2 T1

In both steps (A) & (B), no one gets the correct toy.
Therefore probability that none brother can get the own toy is 2/6 = 1/3

Solution:

he was genius.

Officials must have thought he was jumping with a hostage, they would never risk giving him a faulty parachute.

Solution:

The 100th statement for sure is incorrect because it says that at least 100 of the statements are incorrect.

Suppose if that is correct, then 100 statements cannot be true.
This suggests that the 100th statement is incorrect and that the first statement is true.

Similarly 99 statements cannot be true because if they were true, then two statements would become correct i.e. the 1st and the 99th.
But the 99th statement says that at least 99 are incorrect.
This suggests that the 99th statement is incorrect and that 2ndone is true.

If we keep analyzing is the same way till the end, we will find out that only the first fifty statements are true and all the remaining ones are incorrect.

Solution:

mother

We know from (3) that the youngest person was not the victim, from (4) that the youngest person was not the helper and from (6) that the youngest person was not the killer. The youngest person can only have been the witness therefore. If we make up a chart there are now three possible combinations:

Oldest person (father) H H M

Next to oldest (mother) V M H

Next to youngest (son) M V V

Youngest (daughter) W W W

(H = Helper ; V = Victim ; M = Murderer ; W = Witness)

We can work out from (5) that the father was the oldest, from (2) that the youngest person must have been the daughter. Therefore the next to the youngest must have been the son and the next to the oldest, the mother.
