Given that the next word should start with the ending two letters of the previous word. From this,

The first word is

SHIVER

Now, the next word should start with ER and must contain OT in the middle.

EROTIC

Now, the next word should start with IC and must contain IC in the middle.

ICICLE

Now, the next word should start with LE and must contain NG in the middle.

LENGTH

Now, the next word should start with TH and must contain RA in the middle.

THRASH

Hence, the required five words are SHIVER, EROTIC, ICICLE, LENGTH, THRASH.

In economics, we come across Demand management in macro-levels and at micro-levels within individual organizations.

Since each ring consists of six different letters, the total number of attempts possible with the three rings is = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. Of these attempts, one of them is a successful attempt.

Maximum number of unsuccessful attempts = 216 - 1 = 215.

Given M.P=45,S.P=42, Profit = 0.05

Let C.P=x , Then

Profit = (42-x)/x = 0.05
=> x = 40.

Speed in downstream = (14 + 4) km/hr = 18 km/hr;

Speed in upstream = (14 – 4) km/hr = 10 km/hr.

Let the distance between A and B be x km. Then,

x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19 ⇔ x/18 + x/20 = 19 ⇒ x = 180 km.

Let cp= 100,
35 % increase in sp=135
10 % discount in 135((135*10)/100)=13.5
so 1st sp=(135-13.5)=121.5, again 15 % discount in 1st sp((121.5*15)/100)=18.225
2nd sp=(121.5-18.225)=103.275,

so finally cp=100,sp=103.275 ,gain by 3.27%

Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',
Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)
Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",
So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]
We get 6P = 10Q,
Substitute value for Q,
6P = 10(64 - P),
Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.
