x – y = 5

4x – 6y = 6

x = 12 y = 7

Here the given words, sullen and moody are synonyms to each other which means that gloomy, resentful. Similarly, repetitious and monotonous are synonyms to each other which means dull, tedious.

Hence, Sullen : moody :: monotonous : repetitious.

Days remaining 124 – 64 = 60 days

Remaining work = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

Let men required men for working remaining days be 'm'

So men required = (120 x 64)/2 = (m x 60)/1 => m = 64

Men discharge = 120 – 64 = 56 men.

Here as given Q is in the middle and it satisfies all other conditions given in the question.

Speed in still water = Average of Speed in Upstream and speed in Downstream

= 1/2 (12 + 6) kmph = 9 kmph.

Speed of the Train K is given by s = d/t = 240/20 = 12 m/s
Distance covered by Train K in 50 seconds = 12 x 50 = 600 mts.
But it crosses Train L in 50 seconds
Therefore, the length of the Train L is = 600 - 240 = 360 mts.

Given the price of a commodity is decreased by  p = 20%

And its consumption is increased by q = 10%

Now, required increase or decrease in the expenditure on the commodity can be 

p + q + pq/100 = -20 + 10 - 200/100 = -10 - 2 = -12%.

Hence, decrease in the expenditure = 12%

Given compound interest for 3 years = Rs. 1513.2

and simple interest for 5 years = Rs. 2400

Now, we know that  C.I = P1+R100n - 1

=> 1513.2 = P1+R1003 - 1 ...........(A)

And S.I = PTR/100

=> 2400 = P5R/100 ..................(B)

By solving (A) & (B), we get

R = 5%.
