Money invested by Rajan before 1 year was = Rs. 100000

Money in UK pounds @ 75 is = 100000/75 = 1333.33 Pounds

Now, after 1 year invested amount was appreciated by 20%

=> 20% of 1333.33 = 266.66

Total investment becomes = 1333.33 + 266.66 = 1600 Pounds

This 1600 Pounds @ Indian currency at 80 = 1600 x 80 = Rs. 1,28,000

Hence, Rajan's investment of Rs. 1,00,000 becomes Rs. 1,28,000 in 1 year

Therefore, his profit % = [(128000 - 100000)/100000] x 100 = 28%.

Given 0.875 and 0.375

0.875 ::

After decimal point there are 3 digits 875

Now, mutiply and divide 0.875 with 1000

$$\begin{gathered} 0.875 x 10001000 = 8751000 \\ Now, this can be reduced to fraction 78 \\ Therefore, 0.875 as fraction = 78 \end{gathered}$$

Similarly,

0.375 :: 

After decimal point there are 3 digits 375

Now, mutiply and divide 0.375 with 1000

$$\begin{gathered} 0.375 x 10001000 = 3751000 \\ Now, this can be reduced to fraction 38 \\ Therefore, 0.375 as fraction = 38 \end{gathered}$$

The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every
12 hours. (Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 o'clcok only).
So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions 22 times

circumference of A = 2πr = 8 => so r = 4π
volume = π×4π2×10 = 160π
circumference of B = 2πr   = 10 => so r = 5π
volume = π×5π2×8 =  200π
so ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8
so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.
