Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then,
S.I. for first 6 months = (100 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4
S.I. for last 6 months = (104 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4.16
So, amount at the end of 1 year = (100 + 4 + 4.16) = Rs. 108.16
Effective rate = (108.16 - 100) = 8.16%.

Let the number of boys = x

From the given data,

=> [21x + 16(18)]/(x+16) = 19

=> 21x - 19x = 19(16) - 16(18)

=> 2x = 16

=> x = 8

Therefore, the number of boys in the class = 8.

Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.

Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.

Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.Area = (480 x 320) sq.m = 153600 sq.m

Given, 52416 / 312 = 168.

<=>  52416 / 168 = 312.

52.416 / 0.0168 = 524160 / 168 = 3120.

They have to be arranged in the following way :

                                                                    L  T  L  T  L  T  L  T  L

The 5 lions should be arranged in the 5 places marked ‘L’.

This can be done in 5! ways.

The 4 tigers should be in the 4 places marked ‘T’.

This can be done in 4! ways.

Therefore, the lions and the tigers can be arranged in 5!´ 4! ways = 2880 ways.

As both A and B invest the same amounts, the ratio of their profits at the end of the year is equal to the ratio of the time periods for which they have invested.

Thus, the required ratio of their profits = A : B = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3.

Hence, share of A in the total profit = 2 x 25000/5 = Rs.10000

Similarly, share of B in the total profit = 3 x 25000/5 = Rs.15000

The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
So, the day on 24th Nov, 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day on 24th Nov, 2006.
But, 24th Nov, 2007 is Thursday.
24 - 10 = 14 days.
Therefore, 2 weeks ago it is same day.
Thus, 10th Nov, 2006 is one day before 10th Nov, 2007 i.e. it is Wednesday.
