Cost price (CP) = Rs.120 - Profit margin = 42% of CP Profit = 42% of 120 = (42/100) × 120 = Rs.50.4 Selling price (SP) = CP + Profit = 120 + 50.4 = Rs.170.4

Let the amount spent in the 4th year = X million - The 5th year amount = 20% less than 4th year = 80% of X = 0.8 × X We need to find the 5th year amount among the options. If we assume the 4th year amount is 1400 million (the highest option given, likely the 4th year amount): 5th year amount = 0.8 × 1400 = 1120 million

Let total shares = T - Company S owns 30% of T = 0.30T - Company T owns 12,000 shares - Company R owns the remaining shares: T - (S + T) = T - (0.30T + 12,000) = 0.70T - 12,000 - Given Company R has 15% more shares than Company S: R = S + 15% of S = 1.15 × S So, 0.70T - 12,000 = 1.15 × 0.30T 0.70T - 12,000 = 0.345T 0.70T - 0.345T = 12,000 0.355T = 12,000 T = 12,000 / 0.355 ≈ 33,802.82 shares (total shares) Now, Company S owns: S = 0.30 × 33,802.82 ≈ 10,140 shares

3 pointers point 3 walls in 3 minutes. - So, 1 pointer points 1 wall in 3 minutes. Now, we want to know how many pointers are needed to point 27 walls in 9 minutes. Since 1 pointer points 1 wall in 3 minutes, in 9 minutes (which is 3 times longer), 1 pointer can point: 1 wall × 3 = 3 walls. To point 27 walls in 9 minutes: Number of pointers needed = Total walls / Walls per pointer = 27 / 3 = 9 pointers.

In a proportion, cross-multiply: 4 × 16 = 8 × x 64 = 8x Divide both sides by 8: x = 64 / 8 x = 8

Original price = Rs. 400 Discount = 25% of Rs. 400 = (25/100) × 400 = Rs. 100 Sale price = Original price - Discount = 400 - 100 = Rs. 300

He sells 40% of them, so he is left with 60% of x. According to the problem: 60% of x = 360 => (60/100) * x = 360 => 0.6x = 360 => x = 360 / 0.6 => x = 600 He sells 40% of them, so he is left with 60% of x. According to the problem: 60% of x = 360 => (60/100) * x = 360 => 0.6x = 360 => x = 360 / 0.6 => x = 600 According to the problem: 60% of x = 360 => (60/100) * x = 360 => 0.6x = 360 => x = 360 / 0.6 => x = 600

Given: - Principal (P) = Rs. 42,000 - Annual interest rate (r) = 6% = 0.06 - Time (t) = 10 years - Interest compounded half-yearly (n = 2 times per year) --- Formula for compound interest: Amount, A = P * (1 + r/n)^(n*t) Substitute the values: A = 42,000 * (1 + 0.06/2)^(2 * 10) = 42,000 * (1 + 0.03)^20 = 42,000 * (1.03)^20 --- Calculate (1.03)^20: (1.03)^20 ≈ 1.8061 --- So, A ≈ 42,000 * 1.8061 ≈ Rs. 75,856.2

a² − b² = 9 But we can also write: a² − b² = (a + b)(a − b) = 9 And (a − b)² = 3 → so (a − b) = √3 or −√3 Let’s assume: a − b = √3 Then: From (a + b)(a − b) = 9 ⇒ (a + b)(√3) = 9 ⇒ a + b = 9 / √3 = 3√3 Now, we have: a + b = 3√3 a − b = √3 Now solve the system: Adding: 2a = 4√3 → a = 2√3 Subtracting: 2b = 2√3 → b = √3 Now, ab = a × b = 2√3 × √3 = 2 × 3 = 6

Given: x = 5, y = 2 Expression: 2x + 3y = 2(5) + 3(2) = 10 + 6 = 16

Cow 1 (4000 l) increases by 15%: 15% of 4000 = 0.15 × 4000 = 600 New amount = 4000 + 600 = 4600 l Cow 2 (3100 l) increases by 10%: 10% of 3100 = 0.10 × 3100 = 310 New amount = 3100 + 310 = 3410 l Total production in 2nd year = 4600 + 3410 = 8010 l

We need to divide Rs. 712,000 between two towns with populations 1,800 and 1,500, in proportion to their population. Step 1: Total Population 1800 + 1500 = 3300 Step 2: Share per person 712,000 ÷ 3300 = Rs. 215.76 approx. Step 3: Each town’s share - Town A (1800 people): 1800 × 215.76 = Rs. 388,363 approx. - Town B (1500 people): 1500 × 215.76 = Rs. 323,636 approx.

In a knockout tournament, each match eliminates one team. To decide a single winner from n teams, we must eliminate (n − 1) teams. Here, n = 23 So, number of matches needed = 23 − 1 = 22

298 → 294 (−4) - 294 → 285 (−9) - 285 → 269 (−16) Now, see the pattern in the differences: -4 (2²), -9 (3²), -16 (4²) Next should be: −25 (5²) So, 269 − 25 = 244
