it is a typical calculus question, nothing fancy involved. so we all can not be wrong. if it was a permutation question would have said that we are wrong. so we have finally arrived at the conclusion that MS IS WRONG!

Oh, you mean indices. It's easy.
Just remember the laws.
(i) When the same base with powers are multiplied, their powers add,
a^2*a^3=a^5
(ii) When the same base with powers are divided, their powers are subtracted,
a^3/a^2=a^1
(iii) When a whole square is around the base, the powers multiply,
(a^3)^2=a^6
(iv) Sq.root means power multiplied by 1/2, Cube root means power multiplied by 1/3 and so on.
(v) Power 0 means the number = 1, ex. a^0 = 1
(vi) Negative power becomes dividend, ex. a^-2 = 1/a^2

In the attached document, see the laws of logarithms and indices, just remember them and use them to solve your questions.
Just remember that ln is a logarithm with base e, therefore ln e = 1
Similarly, ln y=x can also be written as e^x=y.
Similarly, all the rules of logarithms apply to the ln.

That's what I'm hoping for! ;)
Besides, I've tried putting the whole equation with the range in the integral function of my calculator, still the same answer!

Q.1, For the graph, just take 4 arbitrary values, take x=-2, x=0, x=2, x=4 and choose an appropriate scale and extend the line.
Q.4, For first year, Amount = 250 + 250*6/100 = Rs. 265
For second year, Amount = 265 + 265*6/100 = Rs. 280.9
For third year, Amount = 280.9 + 280.9*6/100 = Rs. 297.75
For fourth year, Amount = 297.75 + 297.75*6/100 = Rs. 315.615
For fifth year, Amount = 315.6 + 315.6*6/100 = Rs. 334.55
Q.2, The answer is 6.7 (used a converter) I think but this is not in our syllabus!
Q.3, It's pretty long, we haven't done quarterly compound interest, but it can be done in the same way as Q.4.
Q.6. Percentage Increase = 58-40/40*100 = 18/40 * 100 = 45%
Option D is the answer.
Q.5, y^2/2 - y/6 = 1/12
3y^2 - y = 1/2 (by lcm)
6y^2 - 2y - 1 = 0
Using quadratic eq.,
