Let the length of the rectangle = L cm

Then the breadth of the rectangle = (L - 10) cm

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B) cm

=> 44 = 2(L + L - 10)

=> 44 = 4L - 20

=> 4L = 64

=> L = 16 cm

=> B = L - 10 = 6 cm

Diagonal = L2+B2 = 162+62 = 17.08 cm

Methods for selecting 4 questions out of 5 in the first section = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1/4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 5. Similarly for other 2 sections also i.e 5 and 5

So total methods = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125.

There are 5 slots.

                   __ __ __ __ __

The first slot must be a four. There are 4 ways to put a four in the first slot.

There are 4 ways to put a five in the second slot, and there are 4 ways to put a six in the third slot. etc.

(4)(4)(4)(4)(4) = 1024

Therefore there are 1024 different ways to produce the desired hand of cards.

Given a jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey
During the return journey, it takes 4 hrs with an increased speed 12 km/hr
Let 'x' be the distance.
Now, speed is given by distance/time.
Here the difference between both speeds = 12

 x4 - x6 = 12

 3x - 2x12 = 12

=> x = 144 km

Therefore, the distance travelled by the jeep in forward or return journey is x = 144 km.

Let total amount = Rs. P

Total expenditure = (23 + 33 + 19 + 16)% of P = 91%ofP

Remaining money = (100 - 91)% of P = 9% of P

But given in the question that,

9% of P = 504

9p/100 = 504

=> P = 50400/9

=> P = Rs. 5600

Required money spent on Food & Insurance = 23 + 33 %

= 56% of 5600

= 56 x 5600/100 = 56 x 56 = Rs. 3136

Let the required Sum = Rs.S

 From the given data,

 1008 = [(S x 11 x 5)/100] - [(S x 8 x 6)/100]

 => S = Rs. 14,400.
