Since first second varieties are mixed in equal proportions, so their average price = Rs.(126+135)/2= Rs.130.50

So, Now the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties, one at Rs. 130.50 per kg and the other at say Rs. 'x' per kg in the ratio 2 : 2, i.e., 1 : 1. We have to find 'x'.

x-153/22.50 = 1  => x - 153 = 22.50  => x=175.50.

 Hence, price of the third variety = Rs.175.50 per kg.

The given series follows a pattern that,

19 x 19 x 19 = 6859

18 x 18 x 18 = 5832

17 x 17 x 17 = 4913

16 x 16 x 16 = 4096

15 x 15 x 15 = 3375

So, the missing number in the given series = 4913  

206 Bones in the Human Body.

The given number series is 10, 6, 8, 15, ?

10

10 x 0.5 + 1 = 6

6 x 1 + 2 = 8

8 x 1.5 + 3 = 15

15 x 2 + 4 = 34

Hence, the next number in the given series is 34.

The given number series is 720, 732, 708, 742, 696

720

720 + 12 = 732

732 - 24 = 708

708 + 36 = 744 (Not 742)

744 - 48 = 696

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 742.

Let the sum be Rs. x

a. gives, S.I = Rs. 9000 and time = 9 years.

b. gives, Sum + S.I for 6 years = 2 x Sum

--> Sum = S.I for 6 years.

Now, S.I for 9 years = Rs. 9000

S.I for 1 year = Rs. 9000/9 = Rs. 1000.

S.I for 6 years = Rs. (1000 x 6)= Rs. 6000.

--> x = Rs. 6000

Thus, both a and b are necessary to answer the question.
