Friends, we know we will need gain amount to get gain percent, right. So lets get gain first.

Let the cost price of 1 pen is Re 1

Cost of 8 pens = Rs 8

Selling price of 8 pens = 12

Gain = 12 - 8 = 4

Gain% = gaincost×100%  = 48×100% = 50%

3.78 meters =378 cm = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 7

5.25 meters=525 cm = 5 × 5 × 3 × 7

Hence common factors are 3 and 7

Hence LCM = 3 × 7 = 21

Hence largest size of square tiles that can be paved exactly with square tiles is 21 cm.

15x3 - 1 = 45 - 1 = 44

Given the number series is 4, 6, 12, 30, 81, 315.

Here it follows a pattern that

4

4 x 1.5 = 6

6 x 2 = 12

12 x 2.5 = 30

30 x 3 = 90 not equals to 81

90 x 3.5 = 315

Hence the odd one in the series is 81.

The next number in the series is

143 143 136 110

      0    7      26 (Differences)

 $$\begin{gathered} 13 - 1 , 23 - 1, 33 - 1, 43 - 1,... \\ Now the next number is given by \\ 110 - (43 - 1) = 110 - 63 = 47. \end{gathered}$$
