From the given data,

K's profit : L's profit = 7x x 11 : 9x x 7

= 11:9

Therefore, L's profit = 9 x 2460/20 =  Rs. 1107

K+2 M+1 N-2 L,  P+2 R+1 S-2 Q,   V+1 W+2 Y+1 Z,   J+2 L+1 M-2 K  and  W+2 Y+1 Z-2 X.

Except VWYZ, all the other groups follow similar pattern.

A Clock has 3 hands i.e, an Hour hand, a Minute hand and a Seconds hand.

It is in the form of a2-b2a-b = a+ba-ba-b = a+b

Here a = 3.39   b = 2.61 

 = 3.39 + 2.61 = 6.

Reduction in consumption
= P100+P X 100%
= 25100+25 X 100%
= 20%

Leap year means the year that can be divisible by 4. From the above options 2009 is not divisible by 4. So it is not a leap year.

In the given puzzle, the logic is the product of the number and its preceeding number gives the result.

9 = 9 x 8 = 72

8 = 8 x 7 = 56

7 = 7 x 6 = 42

6 = 6 x 5 = 30

5 = 5 x 4 = 20

Similarly,

3 = 3 x 2 = 6.

Given a secret is told to 3 persons in 3 minutes.
And if the process continues with each person saying 3 other persons,
In 30 minutes => the rocess for 10 times because each person time is 3 minutes.
Required number of persons = 3 + 32 + 33 + .... + 39 + 310

Now it forms a geometric progression,

Sum to n terms is S = arn - 1r - 1

Here a = 3, r = 3

 
=> 59048 x 3 /2

= 88572.
