Answer & Explanation Total letters are ‘9’ in which ‘P’ and ‘I’ comes twice Number of arrangements = 9!/2!2! = 90720 Let the principal be ‘x’ Interest = (27863 – x) x = {(27863 – x) * 100}/7*7 49x = 2786300-100x x = 18700 Let the cost price be x x + x * 18.75/100 = 19475 118.75x/100 = 19475 x = Rs. 16400 Let its population two years back was ‘x’ x * 108/100 * 95/100 = 127224 x = 124000 21 men 1 day work = 1/16 1 men 1 day work = 1/(16 * 21) 8 men 1 day work = 8/(16 * 21) = 1/42 8 men can finish the work in 42 days Ratio between profit of A, B & C = 12 × 12 : 18 × 7 : 54 × 5 = 8 : 7 : 15 Share of B = 122280/30 * 7 = 28532 Let total number of goats be ‘x’ and that of hens be ‘y’ x + y = 83 …(I) 4x + 2y = 260 2x + y = 130 …(II) equation (II) – equation (I) 2x + y = 130 x + y = 83 – – – x = 47 y = 83 – 47 = 36 Difference = 47 – 36 = 11 x^2 + y^2 = (x + y)^2 – 2xy (103)^2 – 2 * 2640 = 10609 – 5280 = 5329 So they will toll together every time after 420 seconds Number of toll is one hour = (60 * 60)/420 = 8.571 28/(100 + 28) * 100 = 27.874%
