The pattern is 32+42=52,  52+122=132, 72+242=252 

The next number = 82+152=172

 i.e. 17

Let the side of the square be x. Then, its diagonal = 2x.  

Radius of incircle = x/2  and radius of circumcircle =2x2 .

Therefore, required ratio = πx24:πx22 = 14:12=1:2

As the pipes are operating alternatively, thus their 2 minutes job is = 14 + 16 = 512 

In the next 2 minutes the pipes can fill another 512 part of cistern. 

Therefore, In 4 minutes the two pipes which are operating alternatively will fill 512 + 512 = 56Remaining part = 1 - 56 = 16 

Pipe A can fill 14 of the cistern in 1 minute 

Pipe A can fill 16 of the cistern in = 23 min 

Therefore, Total time taken to fill the Cistern  

4 + 23 minutes.

1 man's 1 day work = 1/108
12 men's 6 day's work = 1/9 x 6 = 2/3

Remaining work = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

16 men's 1 day work = 1/108 x 16 = 4/27
4/27 work is done by them in 1 day.

1/3 work is done by them in 27/4 x 1/3 = 9/4 days.

What has one eye yet cannot see is An Eye of a Needle.

A needle has an eye through which we thread it but it is not for seeing.

Let the salaries of Maneela and Shanthi one year before be M1, S1 & now be M2, S2 respectively.

Then, from the given data,

M1/S1 = 3/4  .....(1)

M1/M2 = 4/5 .....(2)

S1/S2 = 2/3  .....(3)

and M2 + S2 = 4160  .....(4)

Solving all these eqtns, we get M2 = Rs. 1600.

M is 8th from the top.

H is (50 - 20 + 1 =) 31 st from the top.

  Number of students between M and H = (31 - 8- 1=)22
