4/10 + 9/x = 1     => x = 15 

Then both can do in 

1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6     => 6 days

Let C1 be the cost price of the first article and C2 be the cost price of the second article.
Let the first article be sold at a profit of 22%, while the second one be sold at a loss of 8%.

We know, C1 + C2 = 600.
The first article was sold at a profit of 22%. Therefore, the selling price of the first article = C1 + (22/100)C1 = 1.22C1
The second article was sold at a loss of 8%. Therefore, the selling price of the second article = C2 - (8/100)C2 = 0.92C2.

The total selling price of the first and second article = 1.22C1 + 0.92C2.

As the merchant did not make any profit or loss in the entire transaction, his combined selling price of article 1 and 2 is the same as the cost price of article 1 and 2.

Therefore, 1.22C1 + 0.92C2 = C1+C2 = 600
As C1 + C2 = 600, C2 = 600 - C1. Substituting this in 1.22C1 + 0.92C2 = 600, we get
1.22C1 + 0.92(600 - C1) = 600
or 1.22C1 - 0.92C1 = 600 - 0.92*600
or 0.3C1 = 0.08*600 = 48
or C1 = 48/(0.3) = 160.
If C1 = 160, then C2 = 600 - 160 = 440.
The item that is sold at loss is article 2. The selling price of article 2 = 0.92*C2 = 0.92*440 = 404.80.

As the toys are distinct and not identical,

For each of the 8 toys, we have three choices as to which child will receive the toy. Therefore, there are 58 ways to distribute the toys.

Hence, it is 58 and not 85.

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.

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.

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.

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
