Given compound interest for 3 years = Rs. 1513.2

and simple interest for 5 years = Rs. 2400

Now, we know that  C.I = P1+R100n - 1

=> 1513.2 = P1+R1003 - 1 ...........(A)

And S.I = PTR/100

=> 2400 = P5R/100 ..................(B)

By solving (A) & (B), we get

R = 5%.

Total number of cases=p+q

Favourable cases=p

Probability of that event is=p/(p+q)

Let the C.P be 'x'
Then, the selling price S.P = x - 16x/100
= 84x/100 = 21x/25
Now, if the S.P is 60 more, then the profit is 14%
=> 21x/25 + 60 = x + 14x/100
=> 114x/100 - 21x/25 = 60
=> (57 - 42)x/50 = 60
=> 15x/50 = 60
x = 3000/15 = 200

Therefore, the Cost price C.P = x = Rs. 200

We know that, a folder holds documents in the same way an envelope holds letters.

Hence, Folder : Document :: Envelope : Letter.

Actual average salary of 12 officers = 400

 Total salary of 12 officers = 400 x 12 = 4800

Average of these 12  officers as a whole =60

Total salary of 12 officers as a whole = 60 x 12 = 720

The total salary of rest  = 4800 - 720 = 4080

Difference in average of the rest of officers  = 60 - 56 = 4

Rest of the officers = 

Total number of employees = 1020 + 12 = 1032

From the above fig we can observe that distance between Laxmi and her office is 15-11 = 4 kms.

Here Sample space S = { HH, HT, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 }

Let A be the event that the die shows a number greater than 4 and B be the event that the first throw of the coin results in a tail then,

 A = { T5, T6 }

 B = { T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 }

Therefore, Required probability = PAB=PA∩BPB=2868=13
