pass English =80%
fail=100-80=20%
pass Math = 70%
fail in Math=100-70=30%
fail in both=10%
total fail students= fail in Eng+fail in Math-common
= 20+30-10=40%
if 40% fail then 60% will pass
let total students=x
hence
60% 0f (total students)=144
60/100 of (x)= 144
x=(144×100)/60
X=240
total students=240

the series will be like that
3,3,5,4,4,3,5,5,4,3
because
1 contains 3 alphabets so 1st element is 3 (ONE)
then 2 contains (TWO) alphabets and so on
the series will be as above

2 and half day.

let no. of boys not participating be x
then the no. of girls not participating = x+5
no. of boys : girls participating = 3:2
given no.of boys participating = 15
therefore, the ratio is now 15:y(say)
then 3:2 = 15 : x
on solving 3/2 =15/y ie.., 3y =30 we get y =10
hence no. of girls participating =10
therefore total no of students paricipating = 15+10=25
total no of students in class =60 given
hence no. of students not participating = 60-25=35
therefore x+(x+5)=35
2x=30
x=15
therfore no of girls not participating =15+5=20
therefore total no of girls in class = no of girls
participating + no of girls not participating
=10+20
=30 is the answer

Given:
Principle Amount(P):₹5000
S.I:₹16500
Rate of Interest(R):15%
Find:T
SI=P*T*R/100
T=SI*100/P*R
T=16500*100/5000*15
T=22 YEARS

option c is the answer
as
1/2 for household
1/4 for rent
1/5 for travel
remaining for deposit in bank(i.e) 1/2+1/4+1/5=19/20 ; 1-19/20=1/20
so 1/20 for deposit
1/20(x)=50
hence x=1000
option c is the answer

600
