Let the sum be Rs. P. Then,

P1+252x1002-P= 510

P[982- 1] = 510.

Sum = Rs. 1920

So, S.I. = (1920 x 25 x 2) / (2 x 100) = Rs. 480

Radha ----> Radha's mother ------> Mother's mother => Radha's Grand-mother.

Radha's Grand-mother's daughter-in-law ------> Radha's Aunt -----> Radha's Aunt's daughter => Radha's sister-in-law.

A gulf in geography is a large bay that is an arm of an ocean or sea.

The second smallest sea on Earth is the Sea of Cortez, more commonly called the Gulf of California. This sea is about 62,000 square miles. It lies between Mexico and the Baja California Peninsula.

Here the second one follows the first one. That is a nurse follows a doctor and similarly, a follower follows a leader.

Hence, Doctor : Nurse :: Leader : Follower.

Let the total population be 'P'

P x (96/100) = 23040

P = 240 * 100

P = 24000.

There are total 131 letters out of which 7 are consonants and 6 are vowels. Also ther are 2L's , 2N's, 2A's and 2I's.

If all the consonants  are together then the numberof arrangements = 7!2!x 1/2! .

But the 7 consonants  can be arranged themselves in  7!2! x 1/2! ways. 

Hence the required number of ways = 7!2!2!2 = 1587600

The Sound Following the flash of lighting is because of Thunder.

Lightning is seen earlier than thunder because light travels much faster than sound.

The roar of thunder is the result of a shock wave produced when lightning super-heats the air through which it passes, causing that air to expand very rapidly. This rapid expansion of air creates a shock wave that travels outward at close to the speed of sound.

Given 40% minimum passing marks for boys = 483 + 117 = 600
=> 1% = 600/40
=> 100% = 600 x 100/40 = 1500
Minimum passing marks for girls = 35% of 1500 = 35 x 1500/100 = 525.
