Assuming you're using Bitcoin Core, all of them are impossible. If you wish to do it,
1. Follow @DaveF suggestion to use your own DB, which is indexable.
2. Follow @DaveF suggestion to use third party API.
3. Host your own blockchain explorer using open-source bitcoin block explorer. I took a peek at mempool.space and esplora API documentation, but it looks like it doesn't have feature you're looking for.

Short version....you can't.
You are going to have to pull that data into a DB and query the data from there.
Otherwise every time you want to find out something you are going to have to parse the entire blockchain.

https://blockchair.com/ has a very good API that is fairly cheap to use if you do not have that many queries that you will do every day.

I am having a full node. What do I do to fetch data from it as per the user requirement ?

Let's consider the below examples with x = any random number

1. I want to receive all address "with x+ BTC"

2. I want to receive all transactions "in last 24" hours which transacted x amount

3. fetch blocks between date ranges

4. fetch transactions where fees was x


If it were a normal SQL database we could have used SQL queries such as

Select tx from full node where amount=x

but I am not sure how to receive block data from the full node.
I want to develop a program where I can code to retrieve the above data.
