  4. 11
  5. 31
  6. 433
  7. 4
  8. 35
  9. 13000
  10. 6

Explanations:

  1. 25 & 36 are perfect squares.
    48 is not a perfect square.
  2. 50 – 4 x 5 – 9 + 37 + 3= 50 – 20 – 9 + 37 + 3
    = 90 – 29 = 61
  3. 35: 70 = 1: x
    x = 70/35 = 2
  4. 3a = 9
    a = 9/3 = 3
    Now 2a + 5 = 2 x 3 + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11
  5. 1 + 2 = 3
    3 + 4 = 7
    7 + 8 = 15
    15 + 16 = 31
  6. 531 & 207 are divisible by 3 and sum of digits is 9.
  7. 3x – 5 = 3 x 3 – 5 = 9 – 5 = 4
  8. Average = (32 + 34 + 36 + 38)/ 4 = 140/ 4 = 35
  9. Successor of 12999 is 12999 + 1 = 13000
  10. Factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
