The logic is:

1) BEG

2) GIM

3) LOQ

4) PSU

Hence, ‘GIM’ is the odd one out.

The pattern followed here is:
3 × 2 × 8 × 7 = 336
Similarly,
7 × 8 × ? = 336
? = 336/56
“6” is the missing number.
Hence, “6” is the correct answer.

Thus, the correct answer is 'X'.

Important Points
Focal length of a lens depends on its curvature and the medium outside the lens.

Additional Information
The ability of a lens to converge or diverge light rays depends on its focal length.

• For example, a convex lens of short focal length bends the light rays through large angles, by focussing them closer to the optical centre.
• Similarly, the concave lens of a very short focal length causes a higher divergence than the one with a longer focal length.

The degree of convergence or divergence of light rays achieved by a lens is expressed in terms of its power.

• The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length.

The correct answer is Ringworm.
Important Points
Fungal diseases are often caused by fungi that are common in the environment. Most fungi are not dangerous, but some types can be harmful to health. There are millions of fungal species, but only a few hundred of them can make people sick. Molds, yeasts, and mushrooms are all types of fungi.

Fungi can cause many different types of illnesses, including:

Given:
Number of sides of polygon = 8

Formula Used:
Sum of interior angle of polygon = {number of sides of polygon - 2}× 180
Calculations
⇒ Number of sides of polygon = 8
⇒ Sum of interior angle of polygon = {8 - 2} × 180
⇒ sum of interior angle of polygon = 6 × 180 = 1080° 
∴ The total sum of angles in the polygon is 1080° 

Additional Information
Regular octagon-

Given:

The volume of the sphere = 38808 cm ³

Formula used:

The volume of Sphere = 4/3 π r ³

The total surface area of sphere = 4 π r ²

Concept used:

Total surface area and curved surface area of the sphere is equal.

Calculation:

The volume of the sphere = 38808 cm 3

⇒ 4/3 π r ³ = 38808

⇒ 4/3 × 22/7 × r 3 = 38808

⇒ r 3 = 38808 × 7/22 × 3/4

⇒ r 3 = 9261

⇒ r = 21

Now, The total surface area of sphere = 4 π r 2

⇒ The total surface area of sphere = 4 × 22/7 × 21 × 21

∴ The total surface area of sphere = The curved surface of sphere is 5544 cm ²
