We know that I = PTR/100
=> P = 20250/4.5 = 4500
Now, new Interest at 5% = 4500x1x5/100 = 225
Now the additional amount = 225 - 202.5 = Rs. 22.5

60 is not a multiple of 8

The first letter is E and the last one is R.

Therefore, one has to find two more letters from the remaining 11 letters.

Of the 11 letters, there are 2 Ns, 2Es and 2As and one each of the remaining 5 letters.

The second and third positions can either have two different letters or have both the letters to be the same.

Case 1: When the two letters are different. One has to choose two different letters from the 8 available different choices. This can be done in 8 * 7 = 56 ways.

Case 2: When the two letters are same. There are 3 options - the three can be either Ns or Es or As. Therefore, 3 ways.

Total number of possibilities = 56 + 3 = 59

At 3 o'clock, the minute hand is 15 min. spaces apart from the hour hand. 

 To be coincident, it must gain 15 min. spaces. 

 55 min. are gained in 60 min.

  Then 15 min spaces are gained in  = 6055×15 min. 

Therefore,  The hands are coincident at  16411 min. past 3 o'clock.

Work done by the waste pipe in 1 minute =115-120+124=115-11120 = -140 [-ve sign means emptying]

Volume of 140part = 3 gallons

Volume of whole = (3 x 40) gallons = 120 gallons.

Let the number of failed students be x

=> Number of passed students = 4x 

So total number of students was 5x

From the given data,

If total number of students be 5x – 35

=> 4x-35-9/x+9 = 2/1

=> 4x – 44 = 2(x + 9)

=> 4x – 2x = 18 + 44

=> x = 31

Total number = 31×5

= 155
