Let the breadth of the given rectangle be x then length is 2x.
thus area of the given rect is 2x2

after dec 5cm from length and inc 5cm breadth , new lenght becomes 2x-5 and breadth is x+5.thus new area =(2x-5)(x+5)=2x2+5x-25

since new area is 75 units greater than original area thus
2x2+75 = 2x+5x-25
5x=75+25
5x=100
therefore x=20
hence length of the rectangle is 40 cm.

 Net growth on 1000 = (32 - 11) = 21. Net growth on 100 =(21/1000 * 100) %= 2.1%.

Last digit for the power of 6 is 6 (always)

Power cycle of 7 is 7, 9, 3, 1.

Now 467/4 gives a remainder of 3

Then the last digit is 73 = 3

Last digit is 6 + 3 = 9.

For ticking 6 times, there are 5 intervals.

Each interval has time duration of 30/5 = 6 secs

At 12 o'clock, there are 11 intervals,
so total time for 11 intervals = 11 x 6 = 66 secs.

Let the time taken by train be 't' hrs.

Then,

40t = 35t + 1560

40t = 35t + 35/4

t = 7/4 hrs

Therefore, Required length of the total journey d = s x t

= 40 x 7/4

= 70 kms.

Let the speeds of the car, train and bus be 5x, 9x and 4x km/hr respectively.
Average speed = 5x + 9x + 4x/3 = 18x /3 = 6x km/hr.
Also, 6x = 72 => x = 12 km/hr
Therefore, the average speed of the car and train together is = 5x+9x2= 7x = 7 x 12 = 84 km/hr.

cost price = (225 + 15) = 240 sell price = 300
gain = (60/240)*100 = 25%

Here S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Let E be the event of getting the multiple of 3

Then, E = {3,6}

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 2/6 = 1/3
