Let sum = X. Then S.I = 16x/25

Let rate = R% and Time = R years.

Therefore,  (x * R * R)/100 = 16x/25   =>  R = 40/5 = 8

Therefore, Rate = 8% and Time = 8 years.

RAM is located in The central processing unit (CPU), also called a processor, is located inside the computer case on the motherboard. It is sometimes called the brain of the computer, and its job is to carry out commands.

Let sum = P and original rate = R. Then

[(P * (R+2) * 3)/100] - [ (P * R * 3)/100] = 360

3P*(R+2) - 3PR = 36000

3PR + 6P - 3PR = 36000

6P = 36000

P = 6000

The given number series 999, 990, 998, 991, 997, 992, ?

It follows a pattern that,

999

999 - 9 = 990

990 + 8 = 998

998 - 7 = 991

991 + 6 = 997

997 - 5 = 992

992 + 4 = 996

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 996.
