Let each side of the square be a. Then, area = .a2
New side =125a100=5a4. New area = 5a42 = 25a216

Increase in area = 25a216-a2=9a216
Increase% = 9a216*1a2*100 % = 56.25%.

Let p% of a day is 3 hrs.

We know that a day has 24 hrs.

=> p x 24/100 = 3

=> p = 300/24

=> p = 12.5%

Hence, 3 hrs is 12.5% of a day.

Lightning produces thunder just as a seed will eventually produce a grape.

On carefully inspecting this question, one can understand that there are two days which are important and these are:

A. My Birthday.

B. The day when I am making this statement.

If you think for a while, you will understand that such statements can be made only around the year’s end. So, if my birthday is on 31 December, then I will be making this statement on 1 January.

I will further explain using the following example:

1. Consider that today is 01 January 2017.

2. Then, the day before yesterday was 30 December 2016 and according to the question I was 25 then.

3. Yesterday was 31 December 2016, which happens to be my birthday too (Woohoo!), and my age increases by one to become 26.

4. I will turn 27 on my birthday this year (31 December 2017).

5. I will turn 28 on my birthday next year (31 December 2018).

Now, if you read the question again, it will make more sense:

The day before yesterday(30 December 2016), I was 25 years old and next year(31 December 2018) I will be 28.

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,

 C.I=x*50300*1003-x=343x216-x=127x216 

⇔127x216=1270 

x=2160 

Thus, the sum is Rs. 2160

 S.I=Rs.2160*503*3*1100=Rs 1080

At 5% more rate, the increase in S.I for 10 years = Rs.600  (given)

So, at 5% more rate, the increase in SI for 1 year = 600/10 = Rs.60/-

i.e. Rs.60 is 5% of the invested sum

So, 1% of the invested sum = 60/5

Therefore, the invested sum = 60 × 100/5 = Rs.1200

               Total = (18+20+20) = 58xy100

     B's earnings - A's earnings  = 2xy100 = 250

     Total earning = 58xy100 = 7250
