Compound Interest on P at 10% for 2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly

=P1+R21002T-P=P1+1204-P=P21204-P

Simple Interest on P at 10% for 2 years = PRT100=P×10×2100=P5

Given that difference between compound interest and simple interest = 124.05

 P*21204-P-P5=124.05

=>P21204-1-15=124.05

 P=8000

When B runs 25 m, A runs 45/2 m

When B runs 1000 m, A runs (45/2*1/25*1000)m = 900 m.

B beats A by 100 m.

                       A   :   C    

Efficiency      5    :   3    

No of days   3x   :  5x     

Given that, 5x-6 =3x  => x = 3  

Number of days taken by A = 9  

Number of days taken by C = 15     

           B  :  C    

Days   2  :  3  

Therefore, Number of days taken by B = 10   

Work done by B and C in initial 2 days = 2110+115= 1/3  

Thus,  Rest work =2/3  

Number of days required by A to finish 2/3 work = (2/3) x 9 = 6 days

There are 6 letters in the given word, out of which there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants.

Let us mark these positions as under: 

                                                      (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) 

Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three places out 4, marked 1, 3, 5.  

Number of ways of arranging the vowels = 3P3 = 3! = 6.

Also, the 3 consonants can be arranged at the remaining 3 positions. 

Number of ways of these arrangements = 3P3 = 3! = 6. 

Total number of ways = (6 x 6) = 36.
