All of us, believe that the Solar System evolved from a giant cloud of dust and gas. They believe that this dust and gas began to collapse under the weight of its own gravity. As it did so, the matter contained within this could begin moving in a giant circle, much like the water in a drain moves around the center of the drain in a circle.

At the center of this spinning cloud, a small star began to form. This star grew larger and larger as it collected more and more of the dust and gas that collapsed into it.

Further away from the center of this mass where the star was forming, there were smaller clumps of dust and gas that were also collapsing. The star in the center eventually ignited forming our Sun, while the smaller clumps became the planets, minor planets, moons, comets, and asteroids.

 Investment ratio of A, B & C = (4000 ×6+3000×9):(5500 ×6+4000×9):4

West Bengal is the highest Jute producing state in India followed by Bihar and Assam in second and third place.

Gujarat is the largest Cotton producing state in India.

Let the actual distance be t kms

Now, According to the data,

$$\begin{gathered} 5t + 860 = 6t \\ => 560t + 860 = 6t \\ => 60t + 8 = 72t \\ => 8 = 12t \\ => t = 8/12 = 2/3 hrs \end{gathered}$$

Now, the total distance = 6t = 6 x 2/3 = 2 x 2 = 4 kms.

Madhya Pradesh has become the first Indian state to announce shifting of its financial year format to January-December starting from 2018, as against the current practice of April-March cycle. The decision has recently taken by the state government in its state cabinet meeting, which was chaired by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Thus, the budget session of the next financial year would be held in December-January 2018.

Time taken by both Meghana and Ganesh to work together is given by =

t1 x t2

Where

$$\begin{gathered} t1 = 32 hrs \\ t2 = 12 12 hrs = 252 hrs \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, time took by both to work together = 

32 x 252 = 16 x 25 = 4 x 5 = 20 hrs

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4

According to the question,

Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last

two odd numbers is 396

i.e, x+3 and x-3

$$\begin{gathered} ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396 \\ ⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396 \\ ⇒ 12x = 396 \\ ⇒ x = 33 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.

Here in the given number puzzle, the given numbers follows a pattern that 

1 + 4 = 5 => 1 x 4 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 

2 + 5 = 12 => 2 x 5 + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12   

3 + 6 = 21 => 3 x 6 + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21 

Similarly, 

8 + 11 = 96 => 8 x 11 + 8 = 88 + 8 = 96  

Hence, the missing number in the given number puzzle is 96.
