In 1hr, the bus covers 60 km without stoppages and 40 km with stoppages.

Stoppage time = time take to travel (60 - 40) km i.e 20 km at 60 km/hr.

stoppage time = 20/60 hrs = 20 min.

Given 5x - 6 = 3x - 8

5x - 3x = -8 + 6

2x = -2

=> x = -1.

According to the question, after the position of the first and third digit interchanged new numbers are
789, 415, 856, 784, 404, 962

962, 856, 789, 784, 404, 415
Here the second lowest number is 404 and the last digit of it is '4'.

The two events mentioned are independent.

The first roll of the die is independent of the second roll. Therefore the probabilities can be directly multiplied.

P(getting first 4) = 1/6

P(no second 6) = 5/6

Therefore P(getting first 4 and no second 6) = 1/6 x 5/6 = 5/36

This can be done in a method called Approximation.

Now, 

$$\begin{gathered} 52 + 63 + 6 + 72 = ? x 3.34 \\ 25 + 216 + 6 + 49 = ? x 3.34 \\ 296 = ? x 3.34 \\ ? = 2963.34 = 88.622 ≅ 89 \end{gathered}$$

Two men, three women and one child can be selected in ⁴C₂ x ⁶C₃ x ⁵C₁ ways = 600 ways.

Length of largest tile = H.C.F. of 1517 cm and 902 cm = 41 cm.
Area of each tile = (41 x 41) sq.cm

Required number of tiles =1517 x 902/(41 x 41) = 814.
