Let the integer be x. Then,

x2 - 20x = 96

(x + 4)(x - 24) = 0

x = 24

Tadpole is the larval stage in all the amphibians whereas larva in all the insects.

Speed of the Train K is given by s = d/t = 240/20 = 12 m/s
Distance covered by Train K in 50 seconds = 12 x 50 = 600 mts.
But it crosses Train L in 50 seconds
Therefore, the length of the Train L is = 600 - 240 = 360 mts.

Given Five boxes of bananas sell for Rs. 30.

=> 1 Box of Bananas for = 30/5 = Rs. 6

Then, for Rs. 9

=> 9/6 = 3/2 = 1.5

Hence, for Rs. 9, 1.5 box of bananas can buy.

Let wholesaler dealers marked price = 100%, Retailer's C.P = 80%
And the retailer sells at 5% less than the marked price => S.P = 95%
If S.P of 95% of the retailer costs Rs.19 to customer,so its C.P of 80% will cost 80 x 19/95 = 16
Profit made by the retailer = 19-16 =  Rs.3

Since  Area of Rectangle = side1 x side2
Therefore, error% in area
= x + y + xy100 %
= [20 - 10 + ( -10 x 20)/100]% or 8%
i.e. 8% excess.
