Here the relation in the given words is, First is the process of formation of the second.

That is, when anything melts, it forms liquid. Similarly, when anything freezes it forms solid.

Hence, Melt : Liquid :: Freeze : Solid.

rate=r%

1200 (1+r/100)^2=1348.32

r=6%

Let Rs.x be the amount that the elder daughter got at the time of the will. Therefore, the younger daughter got (3,500,000 - x).

The elder daughter’s money earns interest for (21 - 16) = 5 years @ 10% p.a simple interest.

The younger daughter’s money earns interest for (21 - 8.5) = 12.5 years @ 10% p.a simple interest.

As the sum of money that each of the daughters get when they are 21 is the same,

 x+5*10*x100=3,500,000-x+12.5*10*3,500,000-x100

 x+50x=3,500,000-x+125100*3,500,000-125x100

 2x+50x100+125x100=3,500,000*1+54

 200x+50x+125x100=94*3,500,000

 =>x=2,100,000=21 lakhs

If you add all the terms of the LHS of equality, then the last letter of the sum written in words would give you the RHS.

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 = FOUR

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 = EIGHT

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 = TWELVE

4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 = SIXTEEN

So, following the same pattern.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 = TWENTY

That gives us our answer to 5 5 5 5 =  "Y".

The original fraction is  2551 × 350+100150+100  = 15/17.

Given number sequence is 28, 16, 28, 76, 274

Here the sequence follows a pattern that

28

28 x 0.5 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16

16 x 1.5 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28

28 x 2.5 + 6 = 70 + 6 = 76

76 x 3.5 + 8 = 266 + 8 = 274

274 x 4.5 + 10 = 1233 + 10 = 1243

Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 1243.

A Bill becomes a Law; a Larva becomes an insect. (Or)

A Bill turns into a law; a Larva turns into an Insect.

Here the relation between a fossil and extinction is that a fossil remains after an extinction. That is fossils are evidence of an extinction.

Similarly, puddle remains after it is rained. That is puddles are evidence of rain.

Therefore, Fossil is to Extinction as Puddle is to Rain.
