Hence, out of the given options, 4 5 + 9 3 4 = 15 is correct.

6. D
Consider figure 1 and 2,
In figure 1, the outermost shape is a square, followed by two concentric circles,
followed by a triangle in the innermost part.
In figure 2, the outermost shape (square) of figure 1 becomes the innermost
concentric shape in the bottom right corner of figure 2.
Also, the concentric shape of figure 1 becomes a single shape in the top left corner of
figure 2 overlapping the concentric shapes in figure 2.
When a similar logic is applied to figure 3, we get the following figure as figure 4.

7. D
Consider figure X,
The two pictures in section I are exactly similar and in the same direction.
Section II has the single picture of the two pictures in section I but with a quarterly
rotation applied to it in the clockwise direction.
The following figure of the given options has a similar relationship:

12. C

Hence, the following figure is exactly embedded in the given figure X.

13. C
Consider the first set of numbers,
25 = 52
1 = 12
81 = 92
16 = 42
Now, 5 + 1 + 9 + 4 = 19
192 = 361

Similarly,
9 = 32
81 = 92
25 = 52
1 = 12
3 + 9 + 5 + 1 = 18
Now, 182 = 324
Hence, the missing number in the given number pattern is 324.

Let the total sum of money with Mrs. Kapoor be `x.
If she buys n mangoes at `1.60 each, she will have `0.8 left.
Hence,
x n 1.60 = 0.8
x = 1.6n + 0.8

If she buys (n + 10) apples at `0.70 each, she will have `0.10 left.

x (0.7n + 7) = 0.10
x 0.7n 7 = 0.10
