In the given puzzle, the logic is

2 + 3 = 10 => (2 + 3) * 2 = 10

6 + 3 = 54 => (6 + 3) * 6 = 54

8 + 3 = 88 =>  (8 + 3) * 8 = 88

Similarly,

9 + 7  => (9 + 7) * 9 = 16 x 9 = 144.

Let the number of days be 'p' 

As the work is same, we know that

M1 x D1 x H1 = M2 x D2 x H2

Where M = Men, D = Days, H = Hours per day 

Here M1 = 9, D1 = 15, H1 = 7 

M2 = 6, D2 = p, H2 = 9 

=> 9 x 15 x 7 = 6 x p x 9 

=> p = 35/2 = 17.5 days.

Let Rs. K invested in each scheme

Two years C.I on 20% = 20 + 20 + 20x20/100 = 44%

Two years C.I on 15% = 15 + 15 + 15x15/100 = 32.25%

Now,

(P x 44/100) - (P x 32.25/100) = 528.75

=> 11.75 P = 52875

=> P = Rs. 4500

Hence, total invested money = P + P = 4500 + 4500 = Rs. 9000.

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles , such as cars, motorcycles, trucks and buses.

ABS is only on the front wheels and it can improve your ability and the stability of your car by keeping the front wheels from locking under severe braking it will allow the wheels to continue to roll so the car can stop straight and stop as safe and as soon as possible

Suppose that the original price of the car = Rs. x 

Then new price of the car

=> (x) + (x ×25/100) = Rs. 5x/4 

To restore the original price, the new price must be decreased by

5x/4 − x = x/4

So required percentage =(x/4)/(5x/4) × 100%

= 20%

EPA - Environmental Protection Agency.

The EPA estimates that 85% - 90% of the waste is recyclable, but we only recycle about 30% - 40% of it.

Given that to find 15 of 80

=> What % of 80 is 15

Let it be 'p'

=> p% of 80 = 15

=> $$\begin{gathered} p x 80100 = 15 \\ ⇒p = 15 x 10080 \\ ⇒p = 150080 = 18.75 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, 15 is 18.75% of 80 => 18.75% of 80 = 15

Example::

Now, in the similar way we can find 15% of 80 =?

=> 15x80/100 = p

=> p = 4 x 3 = 12

Therefore, 15% of 80 = 12
