Question : Directions: Find the missing number from the given responses.
Option 1: 53
Option 2: 48
Option 3: 32
Option 4: 40
Correct Answer: 40
Solution : In a column, find the square of the first number to get the second number and then multiply the first number by consecutive natural numbers(starting from 3) to get the third number.
In the first column: 62 = 36 and 6 × 3 = 18 In the second column: 72 = 49 and 7 × 4 = 28 Similarly, in the third column: 82 = 64 and 8 × 5 = 40

Question : The ratio of the area of two isosceles triangles having the same vertical angle (i.e. the angle between equal sides) is 1 : 4. The ratio of their heights is:
Option 1: 1 : 4
Option 2: 2 : 5
Option 3: 1 : 2
Option 4: 3 : 4
Correct Answer: 1 : 2
Solution : $\angle$ BAC = $\angle$ QPR $\angle$ ABC = $\angle$ ACB and $\angle$ PQR = $\angle$ PRQ $\angle$ ABC = $\angle$ ACB = $\angle$ PQR = $\angle$ PRQ $\triangle$ BAC ~ $\triangle$ QPR $\frac{area(\triangle BAC)}{area(\triangle PQR)}$ = $\frac{h^2}{H^2}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{h^2}{H^2}$ ⇒ $\frac{h}{H}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is 1 : 2.
