Time = (100 x 81) / (450 x 4.5) = 4 years.

Here the given number analogy follows two patterns that,

6 

18 --> 6 x 3

4

12 --> 4 x 3

OR

6

18 ----> 6x6/2 = 18

4

8 ----> 4x4/2 = 8

As 12 is not available in the options, 8 is correct answer.

Here the given number series is 5  11  21  44  ?  175

Now the given series follows a pattern, that

x2 + 1, x2 - 1, x2 + 2, x2 - 2, x2 + 3, x2 - 3,...

Then the missing number is x2 - 2

= 44 x 2 - 2 = 88 - 2 = 86

Hence, the missing number in the number series is 86.

The given number series is 3, 11, 80, 291, 803

$$\begin{gathered} 3 \\ 3 + 23 = 3 + 8 = 11 \\ 11 + 43 = 11 + 64 = 75 (not 80) \\ 75 + 63 = 75 + 216 = 291 \\ 291 + 83 = 291 + 512 = 803 \end{gathered}$$

Stars are what that come out at night without being called and are lost in the day without being stolen.

The given number series follows a pattern that

11

11 - 5.5 = 5.5

5.5 + 4.5 = 10

10 - 3.5 = 6.5

6.5 + 2.5 = 9

9 - 1.5 = 7.5

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 7.5.

We know that,

Odd days --> days more than complete weeks

Number of odd days in 400/800/1200/1600/2000 years are 0.

Hence, the number of odd days in first 1600 years are 0.

Number of odd days in 300 years = 1

Number of odd days in 49 years = (12 x 2 + 37 x 1) = 61 days = 5 odd days

Total number of odd days in 1949 years = 1 + 5 = 6 odd days

Now look at the year 1950

Jan 26 = 26 days = 3 weeks + 5 days = 5 odd days

Total number of odd days = 6 + 5 = 11 => 4 odd days

Odd days :-

0 = sunday ;

1 = monday ;

2 = tuesday ;

3 = wednesday ;

4 = thursday ;

5 = friday ;

6 = saturday

Therefore, Jan 26th 1950 was Thursday.
