The answer is 'mare' because a "mare’s nest" doesn't exist just like "hen's teeth" don't exist.

Let the number be 'x'

Then, according to the given data,

 52x-25x52xx100

= 2125x100

= 84%

Papayas are yellow due to the presence of carotene and xanthophyll pigments i.e, Caricaxanthin present in the chromoplasts of the fruit pulp.

The coloration of the different tissues in plants is due to the plastids which are present in the cells. Leucoplasts are white in colour, chloroplasts are green in colour and chromoplasts are of various colours. These plastids can take any colour at different time. Therefore, green fruits ( chloroplasts) turn colurful (chromoplasts) at maturity.

Assume A be the cost price.

Therefore,
35×A×10100 - 25×A×5100 = 1500

=>  A = Rs 37,500.

Given that, 4198+612345+34866+2411+1

Now Power Cycle of

4 is 4, 6 

6 is 6 

8 is 8, 4, 2, 6

1 is 1

4198- 198 is even number , So the unit digit value is 6 

612345 - It is always 6

34866-  66/4 the remainder is 2 , So the second value is 4

2411- 11 is odd number, So the unit digit value is 4

1 - It is always 1 

Total = 21

Therefore, The unit digit is 1

The given number series is 1 8 36 ? 1100 7701

It follows a pattern that,

1

1 x 3 + 5 = 8

8 x 4 + 4 = 36

36 x 5 + 3 = 183

183 x 6 + 2 = 1100

1100 x 7 + 1 = 7701

Hence, the missing number in the given series is 183.

Given taps X and Y can fill the tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. Therefore,

part filled by tap X in 1 minute = 1/30

part filled by tap Y in 1 minute = 1/40

Tap Z can empty the tank in 60 minutes. Therefore,

part emptied by tap Z in 1 minute = 1/60

Net part filled by Pipes X,Y,Z together in 1 minute = [1/30 +1/40 - 1/60] = 5/120 = 1/24

i.e., the tank can be filled in 24 minutes.
