S = { HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT }

=> n(S) = 8

E = { HHH, HHT, HTH, THH }

=> n(E) = 4

P(E) = 4/8 = 1/2

Clearly, If 60 % is equally divided then remaining 40% of total profit will be divided between 2 persons A and B in ratio of (profit of A) : (profit of B)= 12,500 : 8500 = 125 : 85 = 25:17
now difference in amount = 25-17 = 8 this difference = 240
therefore 40% of total profit = 240*(25+17)/(25-17) = 1260
∴ 100% profit = 1260 / 40 × 100 = 3150

 Investment ratio of A, B & C = (4000 ×6+3000×9):(5500 ×6+4000×9):4

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4

According to the question,

Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last

two odd numbers is 396

i.e, x+3 and x-3

$$\begin{gathered} ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396 \\ ⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396 \\ ⇒ 12x = 396 \\ ⇒ x = 33 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.

To find the minimum distance, we have to get the LCM of 75, 80, 85

Now, LCM of 75, 80, 85 = 5 x 15 x 16 x 17 = 20400

Hence, the minimum distance each should walk so that thay can cover the distance in complete steps = 20400 cms = 20400/100 = 204 mts.

Total number of chairs = (3 + 5 + 4) = 12.

Let S be the sample space.

Then, n(s)= Number of ways of picking 2 chairs out of 12

= 12×11/2×1 = 66

Let n(E) = number of events of selecting 2 chairs for selecting no white chairs.

=> 8C2 = 8×7/2×1 = 28

Therefore required probability = 28/66 = 14/33.

75% of 450 + ? % of 560 = 600 

$$\begin{gathered} 75 x 450100 + ? x 560100 = 600 \\ 75 x 92 + 28p5 = 600 \\ 75x9x5 + 56p10 = 600 \\ 3375 + 56p = 6000 \\ 56p = 2625 \\ p = 46.875 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, in the given question ? = 46.875
