Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (4, 14, 828); (3, 10, 620) (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
Option 1: (1, 10, 100)
Option 2: (2, 50, 500)
Option 3: (5, 10, 980)
Option 4: (4, 32, 98)
Correct Answer: (2, 50, 500)
Solution : Given: (4, 14, 828); (3, 10, 620)
The pattern is as follows – (4, 14, 828)→(4 × 200) + (14 × 2) = 800 + 28 = 828 (3, 10, 620)→(3 × 200) + (10 × 2) = 600 + 20 = 620

Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $0$
Option 4: $1$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : Given: $\sin^2 25^\circ+\sin^2 65^\circ$ $= \sin^2 25^\circ+\sin^2 (90^\circ – 65^\circ)$ $= \sin^2 25^\circ+\cos^2 25^\circ=1$ Hence, the correct answer is $1$.
Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".

Option 2: Rs. 51.25
Option 3: Rs. 51.50
Option 4: Rs. 51.05
Correct Answer: Rs. 51.25
Solution : Let the amount be Rs. $x$ Simple Interest on Rs. $x$ for 2 years and 5% interest = Rs. 50 Simple Interest on Rs. $x$ for t years and r% interest = $\frac{{x\times r}\times t}{100}$ So, $50 = \frac{{x\times 5}\times 2}{100}$ ⇒ $x =
