Alihashmat "attend to" will be used in sentence no 4. Attend to means care(refer to oxford dictionary 7th edition). The patient needs care not service.

correction
1.where is that fifty rupees i lent you?
Reason (when we talk about we consider it to be a single thing(an amount ) not fifty separate things…)
2. twice three is six
Reason (this mean product of three multiply by two so the subject is singular and are should be is)
3. the army was defeated and made to flee
Reason( was defeated is passive voice which must be followed by passive voice thus it is made to flee or put to flee)

4.if i were he, i wouldn't do it
Reason( the complement of verb (to be) when expressed by a pronoun, should be in the subjective case )

5.haseeb is our common friend
Reason (mutual is feeling the same thing emotion or doing same thing to or for each other so we can say mutual respect not mutual friend

6.one must keep one's word
Reason( one’s word is correct idiom)

7. i met him last month
Reason (when definite time is given , we use past indefinite tense )


8. he is very keen on going abroad
Reason (keen is always followed by a preposition or which in turn , is followed by ing form of the verb

9.we have ordered many books
Reason(no preposition after order )

10 .Shakespeare is compared with virgil..
Reason (compare with is use for similar things )
