Here in 100P2, P says that permutations and is defined as in how many ways 2 objects can be selected from 100 and can be arranged.

That can be done as,

100 P2 = 100!/(100 - 2)!

= 100 x 99 x 98!/98!

= 100 x 99 

= 9900.

The given series follows the rule,
+(11x1), +(11x3), +(11x5), +(11x7), +(11x9),....

So starting from 7, 7 + 11 = 18, 18 + 33 = 51, 51 + 55 = 106, ...
So wrong number is 40 which is to be 51.

1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone)

so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1

so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.

Let 'x' be the amount he had in the bank.

=> 20/100(25/100(30/100(x))) = 750

x = 750 x 8000/120 = Rs. 50000

Let the total Profit be Z.
Ramu's profit share is 2/3 of profit (i.e 2Z/3)
Ravi's profit is (Z-2Z/3) =Z/3
Hence the profit ratio is , Ravi : Ramu = Z/3 : 2Z/3 = 1:2

Let total Capital be Rs.X and Ramu has contributed for Y months.Since Ramu's profit share is 2/3, his invest share will be 2/3 in capital.

Ravi's invest for 16 months / Ramu's invest for Y months = Ravi's profit share / Ramu's profit share
i.e. (X/6 x 16) / (2X/3 x Y) = 1/2

Solving the above equation, we get Y = 8.
So Ramu's money has been used for 8 months.

Micky mouse was the mouse that walks on 2 legs.

Let the age of ruler is x so that of son = x/2 (given)
Now according to the given condition
(x/6) + (x/12) + (x/7) + 5 + (x/2) + 4 = x
=> x = 84

The given statement implies that 64 Squares on Carrom Board.
