It would still take 3 minutes according to the setup of the question, assuming there are enough rats to make this work. It takes 1 cat 3 minutes to find a rat, and 3 minutes for 3 cats to each find a rat. So 100 cats would only take 3 minutes to find 100 rats. Time is irrelevant since the only factors changing are the cats and the rats.

However, this question assumes too many things that would likely not happen. The question assumes an even density of rats, that the cat's are equally able to catch rats, and that there are enough rats.

No matter how many cats there are, it would still take 3 minutes.

Five cats kill five rats in five minutes then how many cats needed to kill 100 rats in 50 minutes?

If 5 Cats kill 5 Rats in 5 minutes that equals 1 rat killed each minute by each cat. So, in twice as many minutes the same ammount of cats will kill twice as many rats... 5 cats will kill 10 rats in 10 minutes. And if left for five times as long, which is 50 minutes, those same 5 cats will kill 50 rats. So obviously you will need twice as many cats to kill twice as many rats in the same time. So the answer is... You will need 10 cats to kill 100 rats in 50 minutes.

Four cats catch 4 mice 4 minutes. How many cats will it take to catch 10 mice in 10 minutes?

It'll take 4 because if 4 cats catch 4 mice in 4 minutes, it means it takes 1 minute for one cat to catch 1 mouse. So if 10 cats were the answer, the question would be, how many cats will it take to catch 10 mice in four minutes. This question is obvious...
