Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Shortcut Trick

In a proportion a : b :: c : d, the multiplier relationship between the first and second term is identical to the third and fourth term.

Ratio of the first two terms is 5 : 35, which means the second term is 7 times the first.

Therefore, the fourth term must also be 7 times the third term (x).

x × 7 = 84 ⇒ x = 12

∴ The correct answer is 12.

Alternate Method

Given:

The numbers are 5, 35, x and the fourth proportional is 84.

Formula Used:

For any four numbers in proportion, a : b :: c : d ⇒ a ÷ b = c ÷ d.

a = 5

b = 35

× 7 ::

c = x

d = 84

× 7

Calculation:

⇒ 5 ÷ 35 = x ÷ 84

⇒ 1 ÷ 7 = x ÷ 84

⇒ x = 84 ÷ 7

⇒ x = 12

∴ The correct answer is 12.

Additional Information

Mean Proportional

The mean proportional between two numbers a and b is calculated as √(a × b).

Third Proportional

If c is the third proportional to a and b, then a : b :: b : c, which implies c = b² ÷ a.

Continued Proportion

Three non-zero numbers a, b, c are said to be in continued proportion if the ratio of the first to the second is equal to the ratio of the second to the third (a : b = b : c).

The correct answer is Infrasonic waves

Key Points

• Infrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies below the lower limit of human hearing, typically below 20 Hz.
• These waves are not audible to humans but can be detected by specialized instruments.
• Infrasonic waves can be produced by natural events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and ocean waves, as well as by artificial sources like explosions and machinery.
• They have various applications, including monitoring natural disasters and studying the Earth's atmosphere and oceans.
• The study of infrasonic waves is important for understanding phenomena that are not detectable by conventional means.

Additional Information

• Ultrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies above the audible range, typically above 20,000 Hz.
• Hypersonic and supersonic refer to speeds greater than the speed of sound, not to sound waves themselves.
• Infrasound is used in various fields such as seismology, meteorology, and even in animal communication studies.
• While humans cannot hear infrasonic waves, some animals, like elephants and whales, use them for communication over long distances.

Additional Information

The incorrect spelling is option 1) i.e., 'Benifitiary'.

Key Points

• Let us explore the meaning of the given options
• Benifitiary - There is no such word in English or we can say that there is a spelling mistake in the word.
• Strategy - a plan of action designed to achieve a long-term or overall aim.
• Tractor - a powerful motor vehicle with large rear wheels, used chiefly on farms for hauling equipment and trailers.
• Territory -an area of land under the jurisdiction of a ruler or state.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Additional Information 

• If we replace the letter t with the letter c in the word benifitiary, we get the word beneficiary.
• Beneficiary is a proper English word and it means a person who derives advantage from something, especially a trust, will, or life insurance policy.

Given:

A and B profit ratio = 3 : 5. B invested Rs. 80,000 for 12 months. A invested Rs. 72,000.

Formula used:

Total profit = individual investment × time

Calculations:

Let the profit of A be 3x and B be 5x.

According to problem,

80000 × 12 = 5x

=> x = $\dfrac{960000}{5}$

=> x = 192000

Now, let the time taken by A be t.

So, 72000 × t = 3x

=> 72000 × t = 3 × 192000

=> t = $\dfrac{192}{24}$

=> t = 8 months

∴ The answer is 8 months.

The correct answer is England.
