Let the interest rate be r percent interest earned from 1.2 Lacs at the end of year
= 1,200,000 * r /100
= 1200r
From 1.8 lakh, = 8/12 * 1, 80,000 * 2r/100
= 2400r
Total interest = 3600r = 54000
r = 15 percent

Let the quotient obtained when the numbers is divided by 3, 5 and 6 be x1, x2 and x3
Respectively
N = 3 x1 + 1
x1 = 5 x2 + 3
x2 = 6 x3 + 2
N = 3 [5 (6 x3 + 2) + 3] + 1
=90 x3 + 40 < 1000
x3 can take 11 values

Assuming that
b – c = p b = c + p
c – a = q c = a + q
Hence b = c + p
= a + q + p
can be written as a + q + p +

Let the price of 1 apple, 1 banana and 1 orange is a, b and c respectively.
3a + 5b + 3c = 85 equation 1
4a + 4b + 5c = 87 equation 2
5a + 3b + 7c =?
Multiply equation 1 and 2 by m and n respectively and adding will given the required equation
3m+5n = 7 equation 3
5m+4n = 3 equation 4
3m+4n = 5 equation 5
Equation 4 – equation 5
2m= –2
m= –1 and n = 2
Substituting these values in equation 3 which also satisfy
Equation 1 * (–1) + equation 2 *2
= 5a + 3b + 7c
= 85 (–1) + 87 (2)
5a + 3b + 7c = 89Rs.
Price of 5 apple,

Let the distance between Delhi (D) and Jaipur (J) be 8x and Akbar's initial speed be 4a and final speed be 7a.
Let the point where he increased his speed at P and let Q be the point on DJ such that

Let PQ = 4y,
PJ = 7y
QJ = 7y – 4y = 3x
3y = 3x
y= x
PQ = 4x and PJ =7x
Required ratio =
= = 1/8

f (a) = a2 – 2ax + y
f (x) = x2 – 2x2 + y = 0
– x2 + y =0
y = x2 ………. (1)
f (y) = y2 – 2xy + y = 0
y2 – 2xy + x2 = 0
(y – x)2 = 0
y – x = 0
y = x
Put value of y in equation 1
We get
x = y = 1
So, f (4) = 42 – 2 (4*1) + 1
= 16 – 8 +1
= 9

Let the airline has a free luggage allowance →'f' kg
Luggage by M →m kg
Luggage by S →s kg
Rate charger beyond f kg →'e'/kg
Extra luggage of m = (m – f) kg
Extra luggage of s = (s – f) kg
ATQ
e (2m – f) = 2400 ______equation 1
e (2s – f) = 900 ______equation 2
add 1 and 2
e (m + s –f ) = 1650
Also, e (m – f) + e (s – f) = 1050
e (m + s –f ) – ef = 1050
1650 – ef= 1050
ef = 600
Extra luggage from m = e (m – f)
=
= Rs. 900

Given equation is
x2 – 25 <5
–5 < x2 – 25 < 5
20 < x2 < 30
< x <
Hence x = 5
x = 5
