Total number of votes = 7500 

Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid

 => Valid votes = 80%

 Total valid votes = 7500*(80/100) 

1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes. 

Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes 

=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x (45/100) 

7500*(80/100)*(45/100) = 2700

25% of 25% means

25/100 of 25/100

i.e, 1/4 of 1/4

or in other words 1/4 x 1/4=1/16

Hence, the answer is 1/16 = 0.0625.

Let the total profit be Rs. 100.

After paying to charity, A's share  = (95*3/5) = Rs. 57.

If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.

If A's share is Rs. 855, total profit  = (100/57*855) = 1500.

Each number is twice the preceding one with 1 added or subtracted alternatively.

So, the next number is (2 x 261 + 1) = 523.

Given 

6   3   3   6   24   ?

Here

6

6 x 0.5 = 3

3 x 1 = 3 

3 x 2 = 6

6 x 4 = 24 

24 x 8 = 192

The next number in the given series is 192.

let ratio be x.

Hence no. of coins be 5x ,9x , 4x respectively

Now given total amount = Rs.206

=> (.50)(5x) + (.25)(9x) + (.10)(4x) = 206

we get x = 40

=> No. of 50p coins = 200

=> No. of 25p coins = 360

=> No. of 10p coins = 160

Here the given series 7, 11, 19, 35, ?

follows a pattern that (x 2 - 3) i.e,

7

7 x 2 - 3 = 11

11 x 2 - 3 = 19

19 x 2 - 3 = 35

35 x 2 - 3 = 67

67 x 2 - 3 = 131

Hence the next number in the given number series is 67.
