20. (D)
4 curved lines.
12. (D) Option (A) : 2 × 250 ml = 500 ml Weight of C = weight of D
Option (B) : 3 × 250 ml = 750 ml C D
B = B
Option (C) : 500 ml
Option (D) : 2 × 500 ml = 1000 ml = 1 l  weight of B > weight of C and
13. (D) Among the given options (A) and (B) weight of B > weight of D
have tens digit twice of Hundred’s digit
B
also sum equal to 9. But since the 3
A
digit number is even, option (D) is the
answer.  weight of A > weight of B
 weight of A > weight of B > weight of D
We can say that D is lighter than A.
