 Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.

 Required sale = Rs.[(6500 x 6) - 34009]

= Rs. (39000 - 34009) 

= Rs.  4991.

Go on multiplying the given numbers by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

So, the correct next number is 1440.

The pattern is 1 x 2, 2 x 3, 3 x 4, 4 x 5, 5 x 6, 6 x 7, 7 x 8.

So, the next number is 8 x 9 = 72.

Let the C.P be Rs.100 and S.P be Rs.x, Then
The profit is (x-100)
Now the S.P is doubled, then the new S.P is 2x
New profit is (2x-100)
Now as per the given condition;
=> 3(x-100) = 2x-100
By solving, we get
x = 200
Then the Profit percent = (200-100)/100 = 100
Hence the profit percentage is 100%

One day's work of A, B and C = (1/24 + 1/30 + 1/40) = 1/10.

C leaves 4 days before completion of the work, which means only A and B work during the last 4 days.

Work done by A and B together in the last 4 days = 4 (1/24 + 1/30) = 3/10.

Remaining Work = 7/10, which was done by A,B and C in the initial number of days. 

Number of days required for this initial work = 7 days. 

Thus, the total numbers of days required = 4 + 7 = 11 days.

let each side of the square be a , then area = a2 

As given that The side is increased by 25%, then 

New side = 125a/100 = 5a/4 

New area = 5a42  

Increased area= 25a216-a2 

Increase %=9a2/16a2*100  % = 56.25%

Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4) = (7C3*4C2) 

= 210. 

Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210. 

Each group contains 5 letters. 

Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves = 5! = 120 

Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200.

Time from 8 a.m. on a day to 1 p.m. on the following day = 29 hours. 

24 hours 10 min. of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock. 

1456 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock. 

29 hours of this clock = 24*6145*29 hrs of the correct clock 

= 28 hrs 48 min of the correct clock. 

Therefore, the correct time is 28 hrs 48 min. after 8 a.m. 

This is 48 min. past 12.
