Here the series of the form is x2 - 1, x2 - 2, x2 - 3,...

 53 x 2 - 4 = 106 - 4 = 102

'What is your Sirname?' is the correct sentence of the given sentence in English grammar.

The given number series follows a pattern that

196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, ?

    -27  -25   -23   -21  -19  -17

=> 81 - 17 = 64

Therefore, the series is 196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, 64.

Let distance = x km.
Time taken at 3 kmph : dist/speed = x/3 = 20 min late.
time taken at 4 kmph : x/4 = 30 min earlier
difference between time taken : 30-(-20) = 50 mins = 50/60 hours.
x/3- x/4 = 50/60
x/12 = 5/6
x = 10 km.

Lets say shyam sells at 100,

Since Ram sells 25% cheaper than Shyam,

Therefor Ram sells at less than 25% of100 or 75 rs.

Ram sells 25% dearer than Bram or 125% of Ram =100% of Bram or

125% of x (say x price of bram )=75rs.
or 100% of x =60rs.
hence price of bram is 60rs.

now Bram's good is cheaper than Shyam's as (100-60)x100/100% or 40%.

Hence Brams Good is 40% cheaper than that of Shyam's good.
