No. of people who read Hindu = 285
No. of people who read TOI = 127
No. of people who read IE = 212
Now,
No. of people who read Hindu and TOI both is = 20
No. of people who read TOI and IE both is = 35
No. of people who read Hindu and IE both is = 29
Let No. of people who read Hindu , TOI and IE all is = x ;
So, only Hindu is = 285-20-29-x = 236-x ;
Only TOI is = 127-20-35-x = 72-x ;
Only IE is = 212-35-29-x = 148-x ;
Now, 236-x + 72-x + 148-x + 20 + 29 + 35 + x + 50 = 500 590 -2x = 500
So, x = 45 this is the value who read all the 3 dailies.
So, No. of people who read only one paper is = 236-45 + 72-45 + 148-45 = 191 + 27 + 103 = 321.

Area of the wet surface = [2(lb + bh + lh) - lb] 

= 2(bh + lh) + lb 

= [2 (4 x 1.25 + 6 x 1.25) + 6 x 4]m2  

= 49m2

To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of (500 - 140)m, i.e., 360 m.

While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.

While A covers 360 m, B covers (4/3)*360 = 480 m.

Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 480 m and therefore remains 20 m behind.

 A wins by 20 m.

Lets say shyam sells at 100,

Since Ram sells 25% cheaper than Shyam,

Therefor Ram sells at less than 25% of100 or 75 rs.

Ram sells 25% dearer than Bram or 125% of Ram =100% of Bram or

125% of x (say x price of bram )=75rs.
or 100% of x =60rs.
hence price of bram is 60rs.

now Bram's good is cheaper than Shyam's as (100-60)x100/100% or 40%.

Hence Brams Good is 40% cheaper than that of Shyam's good.
