Cost Price of 5 kg = Rs.(14*2 + x*3) = (28 + 3x).

Sell price of 5 kg = Rs. (22x5) = Rs. 110.

[{110 - (28 + 3x)}/(28 + 3x) ]* 100 =10

[82-3x/28 + 3x]= 1 / 10

820 - 30x = 28 +3x 

33x = 792 

x = 24

Let the sum be Rs. P.

Then,[p(1+10/100)2-p]=525

Sum =Rs.2500

S.I.= Rs.(2500*5*4)/100

= Rs. 500

Given the three mixtures ratio as (1:2),(2:3),(3:4)

(1+2),(2+3),(3+4)

Total content = 3,5,7

Given equal quantities of the three mixtures are mixed, then LCM of 3, 5, 7 = 105

105/3 = 35 , 105/5 = 21 , 105/7 = 15

Now, the individual equal quantity ratios are (35x1, 35x2), (21x2, 21x3), (15x3, 15x4)

 i.e (35,70), (42,63), (45,60)

So overall mixture ratio of milk and water is

35+42+45 : 70+63+60

122:193

But in the question asked the ratio of water to milk = 193 : 122

1/k - 1/20 = -1/24

k = 120

120 x 4 = 480

Therefore, the capacity of the cistern is 480 liters.

Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2x + 1) and (2x + 3)

Then,

(2x + 3)² - (2x + 1)²

= (2x + 3 + 2x + 1) (2x + 3 - 2x - 1)

= (4x + 4)(2)
= 8 (x + 1), which is always divisible by 8

B runs 45/2mts in 6 sec

B covers 300m in (6*2/45*300)sec =80 sec

The largest 4 digit number is = 9999
After dividing 9999 with 88, we get 55 as remainder
so largest 4 digit number divisible by 88 = 9999-55 = 9944.
