The given number series is 152, 124, 96, 69, 40

152

152 - 28 = 124

124 - 28 = 96

96 - 28 = 68 (not 69)

68 - 28 = 40

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 69.

In the given series 1 4 9 16 22 36

1 = 1 x 1 

4 = 2 x 2

9 = 3 x 3

16 = 4 x 4

25 = 5 x 5 (Not 22)

36 = 6 x 6

Hence, the odd man in the series is 22.

The given number series follows a pattern that

5 x 5 ? 1 = 24

24 x 4 ? 2 = 94

94 x 3 ? 3 = 279

279 x 2 ? 4 = 554

343 = 7 3,  1331 =  11 3 , 2197 = 13 3, 121 =  11 2

343, 1331, 2197 are perfect cubes, but not 121.

The terms of the series are products of two consecutive prime numbers i.e.

(2 x 3), (3 x 5), (5 x 7), (7 x 11),.....

So, 165 is wrong and must be replaced by (11 x 13) i.e. 143.

The numbers are 7 x 8, 8 x 9, 9 x 10, 10 x 11, 11 x 12, 12 x 13.

So, 150 is wrong.

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.

All except Parrot are birds of prey.

Given 

6   3   3   6   24   ?

Here

6

6 x 0.5 = 3

3 x 1 = 3 

3 x 2 = 6

6 x 4 = 24 

24 x 8 = 192

The next number in the given series is 192.

1 x 1 + 1 x 1 = (1 + 1) = 2

2 x 2 + 2 x 2 = (4 + 4) = 8

8 x 3 + 3 x 3 = (24 + 9) = 33

33 x 4 + 4 x 4 = (132 + 16) = 148

148 x 5 + 5 x 5 = (740 + 25) = 765.
