(150 x 460)/100 + (24 x 650)/100

= 690+156

= 846

By the rule of alligation:

C.P. of 1 kg sugar of 1st kind      C.P. of 1 kg sugar of 2nd kind 

Therefore, Ratio of quantities of 1st and 2nd kind = 14 : 6 = 7 : 3. 

Let x kg of sugar of 1st kind be mixed with 27 kg of 2nd kind. 

Then, 7 : 3 = x : 27 or x = (7 x 27 / 3) = 63 kg.

Given number series is 9 17 11 19 13 

Here the pattern is

• 9

• 9 + 8 = 17

• 17 - 6 = 11

• 11 + 8 = 19

• 19 - 6 = 13

• 13 + 8 = 21

• 21 - 6 = 15

• 15 + 8 = 23

 Let S be the sample space

Then, n(S) = 52C2= 1326.

Let E = event of getting 2 kings out of 4.

n(E)  = 52*512*1= 6.

 4C2

=>4*32*1

P(E)=n(E)n(S)=61326=1221

When R and W are the first and last letters of all the words then we can arrange them in 5!ways. Similarly When W and R are the first and last letters of the words then the remaining letters can be arrange in 5! ways.

Thus the total number of permutations = 2 x 5!  = 2 x 120 = 240

Let the no of shots be x. Then, 

Shots fired by A =(5/8)x

Shots fired by B = (3/8)x 

Killing shots by A = 1/3 of (5/8)x  = (5/24)x

Shots missed by B = 1/2 of (3/8)x = (3/16)x 

(3/16)x = 27 ⇒ x =144

Birds killed by A = (5/24)x = (5/24)*144 = 30

Here the given number series is 3, 14, 36, 67, 113, 168

It follows a pattern that

3

3 + 1 x 11 = 3 + 11 = 14

14 + 2 x 11 = 14 + 22 = 36

36 + 3 x 11 = 36 + 33 = 69

69 + 4 x 11 = 69 + 44 = 113

113 + 5 x 11 = 113 + 55 = 168

Hence, the wrong number is 67.

Total time taken    = (160/64 + 160/8)hrs
                           = 9/2 hrs.

Average speed    = (320 x 2/9) km.hr
                         = 71.11 km/hr.
