The name India is originally derived from the name of the river Sindhu (Indus River).

Let the total number of votes polled in the election be 100k.
Number of valid votes = 100k - 20% (100k) = 80k
Let the number of votes polled in favour of K and L be a and b respectively.
a - b = 15% (100k) => a = b + 15k
=> a + b = b + 15k + b
Now, 2b + 15k = 80k and hence b = 32.5k
It is given that 100k = 8720
32.5k = 32.5k/100k x 8720 = 2834

The number of valid votes polled in favour of L is 2834.

The given series follows the rule,
+(5x1), +(5x2), +(5x3), +(5x4), +(5x5),....

So starting from 37, 37 + 5 = 42, 42 + 10 = 52, 52 + 15 = 67, 67 + 20 = 87,...
So wrong number is 47 which is to be 42.

Let the speed of current = 'C' km/hr

Given the speed of boat in still water = 6 kmph

Let 'd' kms be the distance it covers.

According to the given data,

Boat takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current

i.e, d8 - C = 3 × d8 + C

$$\begin{gathered} ⇒ 24 - 3C = 8 + C \\ ⇒ 4C = 16 \\ ⇒ C = 4 kmph \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the speed of the current C = 4 kmph.

Given 5:6 :: 7:10 :: 6:5

We know that compound ratio is calculated as
a:b :: c:d :: e:f
(axcxe):(bxdxf)

=> (5x7x6):(6x10x5)
=> (210):(300)
= 7:10

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the first education minister of independent India, who served from 15 August 1947 until 2 February 1958.

Indira Gandhi - First Women Prime minister of India

Durba Banerjee - The first woman Airline Pilot

Sucheta Kripalani - The first woman Chief Minister of an Indian State.

Given 30% of 500

$$\begin{gathered} = 30100 x 500 \\ = 30 x 5 \\ = 150 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 30% of Rs. 500 = Rs. 150.
