t=I/pr

As these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.
If initial cost is Rs 100, then
20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80
further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56
further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4

Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.

On 31st December, 2005 it was Saturday.

Number of Odd days from the year 2006 to the year 2009 = (1+1+2+1)=5 days.

 On 31st december 2009, It was Thursday

Probability of not hitting the ball = 1- 1/4 =
Then, the probability that the batsman will hit the ball =

From the given data,

P = 140

But it is given that,

40% of Q + Q = 140 = P

=> Q + [40Q/100] = 140

=> [100Q + 40Q]/100 = 140

=> 140Q = 140 x 100

=> Q = 100

Now,

 3/25 of Q 

= (3/25) x 100

= 3 x 4 

= 12 

Required 3/25 of Q  = 12.

Fruits reduced by 1/4.
Total no. of bags N = 5
Formula to find no. of fruits in 1st bag = 4^n
Last Bag = 4 fruits.
That means, 4th bag = 4 x 4 = 16 fruits
3rd bag = 16 x 4 = 64 fruits
2nd bag = 64 x 4 = 256 fruits
1st bag = 256 x 4= 1024 fruits.

Given in municipality election 54% votes have won by 1080

Let the total number of votes be x.

 54x100 - 46x100 = 1080

8x = 108000

x = 13,500

Therefore, total number of votes = 13,500.
