Correct Answer: 20 : 105

Solution : Here, in the first pair–

9 : 50 ⇒ 9 x 5 + 5 = 50

Applying this same logic, in all the given alternatives we will get –

Option first:

⇒ 22 x 5 + 5 =115 

But here , 22 : 110 is given which is not correct.

Option second:

⇒ 18 x 5 + 5 = 95

But here , 18 : 190 is given which is not correct.

Option third:

⇒ 15 x 5 + 5 = 80

But here , 15 : 225 is given which is not correct.

Option fourth:

⇒ 20 x 5 + 5 =105 

Here, 20 : 105 is given which is correct.

Hence, option fourth is correct.

Correct Answer: 80

Solution : Principal, $P = 50000$
Term, $n = 1$ year
Rate, $R = 8$%
When compounded half-yearly,
Compound Interest, CI = $P(1+\frac{R}{200})^{2n}-P$
= $50000 × (1+\frac{8}{200})^2 - 50000$
= $50000 × (\frac{208}{200})^2 - 50000$
= $50000 × (\frac{26}{25})^2 - 50000$
= $50000 × \frac{676}{625} - 50000$
= $54080 - 50000$
= $4080$
When compounded annually,
Compound Interest, CI = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}-P$
= $50000 × (1+\frac{8}{100})^1 - 50000$
= $50000 × \frac{8}{100}$
= $4000$
So, the required difference $=4080 - 4000=$ INR $80$
Hence, the correct answer is 80.

Correct Answer: 199.6

Solution : Circumference of the circle of radius $r$ = $2\pi r$
⇒ $2\pi r = 158.4\ \text{cm}$
⇒ $r = 25.2\ \text{cm}$
Height of cylinder = 100 cm
Volume of cylinder = $\pi r^2h$
= $\frac{22}{7} × 25.2 × 25.2 × 100$
= $199584\ \text{cm}^3$
The volume of the cylinder in litres = 199584 × 0.001 litre = 199.584 litres
Hence, the correct answer is 199.6 litres.

Correct Answer: 13 : 12 : 5

Solution : By Pythagoras theorem,
In a right-angled triangle, the sum of squares of the length of smaller sides = square of the length of the largest side.
By trial and error,
9²$\neq$6² + 3²
7²$\neq$6² + 5²
5²$\neq$3² + 2²
12² + 5² = 144 + 25 = 169 = 13²
So, 13 : 12 : 5 is the ratio of the sides of a right-angled triangle.
Hence, the correct answer is 13 : 12 : 5.

Correct Answer: 3

Solution : According to the dice rule, if two or three positions of the same dice are given with two common faces but in different orientations, then out of those two common faces the faces that are not common are opposite to each other.
While considering Figures 1 and 2, two faces 5 and 4 are common. So, the remaining numbers are 1 and 3. So, 1 and 3 are the opposite faces of each other in the given dice.

So, the face opposite the face showing 1 is 3. Hence, the second option is correct.

Correct Answer: 13

Solution : Given: 
4 + 3 = 25 and 8 + 4 = 80

Like, 4 + 3 = 25→4² + 3² = 16 + 9 = 25
And, 8 + 4 = 80→8² + 4² = 64 + 16 = 80
Similarly, for 3 + 2 = ?→3² + 2² = 9 + 4 = 13

Hence, the third option is correct.
