Given letters are k, l, m, n, o = 5

number of letters to be in the words = 3

Total number of words that can be formed from these 5 letters taken 3 at a time without repetation of letters = 5P3 ways.

⇒ 5P3 = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 words.

In the given puzzle,

The logic is in the format of lets say, a/b

In that case b doesn't matter, because

2/2 = 1,

6/5 = 6/2 = 3,

10/11 = 10/2 = 5

This means that equation is a/2

So 16/19 is equal 16/2 = 8.

We know, 

S.I = PTR/100 where P = principal amount, T = time, R = rate of interest

Here in the given data,

Interest for two years S.I = 924 - 812 = Rs. 112

Now, Principal amount P = 812 - 112 = Rs. 700 

Now,

R = S.I x 100/PT

R = 112 x 100/700 x 2

R = 11200/1400

R = 8%

Hence, the rate of interest R = 8%.

Let the cost price of the article be 'P'

Then from given data,

$$\begin{gathered} P + 28P100 = 4544 \\ => 128P = 454400 \\ => P = 3550 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the cost price of the article = P = Rs. 3550

7 boxes & 24 Balls.
Let, n = No. of boxes ; m = No. of fruits
3n+3 = m---------->(1)
4(n-1)= m---------->(2)
=>4n-4 = 3n+3;
=>4n-3n = 4+3
n = 7
Put n=7 in eqn(1)
=> 3(7)+3 = m
21+3 = m
m = 24;

Number of boxes = 7 and fruits = 24

6 b in an o means 6 balls in an over in cricket.

Given two lines are parallel

pa+b=2

b=-pa+2..........(1)

3a+b=4

b=-3a+4 ...........(2)

m₁ = -p

m₂= -3

The condition for the two lines to be parallel is m₁=m₂

p = 3
