The pattern in the series appears to be a decrease of 1, then an increase of 3, repeating:

7 -> 6 (decrease by 1)

6 -> 5 (decrease by 1)

5 -> 9 (increase by 3)

9 -> 3 (decrease by 6, but pattern suggests decrease by 1)

3 -> 12 (increase by 3)

12 -> 1 (decrease by 11, but pattern suggests decrease by 1)

1 -> 15 (increase by 3)

15 -> -1 (decrease by 1)

Therefore, the next number in the series is -1.

Explanation

To find the duration of the train journey, subtract the start time from the arrival time:

Arrival time: 5:23 p.m.

Start time: 9:32 a.m.

Convert both times to a 24-hour clock:

Arrival time: 17:23 (5:23 p.m.)

Start time: 09:32 (9:32 a.m.)

Subtract the start time from the arrival time:

17:23 - 09:32 = 7 hours 51 minutes

Therefore, the train journey took 7 hours and 51 minutes.

To calculate the interest, you can use the formula:

Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

In this case:

Principal (P) = Rs. 500

Rate (R) = 11% per annum = 0.11

Time (T) = 4 years

Interest = 500 × 0.11 × 4 = Rs. 220

So, Mr. Ali has to pay back the principal amount of Rs. 500 plus the interest of Rs. 220, making a total of Rs. 720.

The correct answer is: Rs. 220
