n (A) = (60/100 * 96) = 288/5, n (B) = (30/100 * 96) = 144/5, n (A ∩ B) = (15/100 * 96) = 72/5.

n(A ∪ B) = n (A) + n (B) - n (A ∩ B) = 72.

So, people who had either or both types of lunch = 72.

Hence, people who had neither type of lunch = (96 - 72)= 24.

(Men 14 : 16) : (Hrs/Day 12 : 7) :: 48 : x
14 * 12 * x = 16 * 7 * 48 or x = 32

Manju borrows Rs. 5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest 

She also lends it at 6 1⁄4% p.a for 2 years 

=> Total Gain = 6 1/4% − 4% = 2 1/4%

So her gain in the transaction for 1 year

= The simple interest she gets for Rs.5000 for 1 year at 2 1⁄4% per annum

= PTR100=5000×94×1100 = Rs. 112.5/ year.

Let the distance between home and school is 'x'.
Let actual time to reach be 't'.
Thus, x/4 = t + 4 ---- (1)
and x/6 = t - 30 -----(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2)
=> x = 98 mts.

Two horses A and B, in a race of 6 horses... A has to finish before B

if A finishes 1... B could be in any of other 5 positions in 5 ways and other horses finish in 4! Ways, so total ways 5*4!

if A finishes 2... B could be in any of the last 4 positions in 4 ways. But the other positions could be filled in 4! ways, so the total ways 4*4!

if A finishes 3rd... B could be in any of last 3 positions in 3 ways, but the other positions could be filled in 4! ways, so total ways 3*4!

if A finishes 4th... B could be in any of last 2 positions in 2 ways, but the other positions could be filled in 4! ways, so total ways... 2 * 4! 

if A finishes 5th .. B has to be 6th and the top 4 positions could be filled in 4! ways..

A cannot finish 6th, since he has to be ahead of B

Therefore total number of ways = 5*4! + 4*4! + 3*4! + 2*4! + 4! = 120 + 96 + 72 + 48 + 24 = 360

X= 2/3Y 

=> Y= 3/2X

Aage of X after 6 years = 46 years

So present age of X = 46-6 = 40 years

Now, present age of Y = 3/2 * 40 = 60 years.

Let the length of the 1st train = L mts

Speed of 1st train = 48 kmph

Now the length of the 2nd train = L/2 mts

Speed of 2nd train = 42 kmph

Let the length of the bridge = D mts

Distance = L + L/2 = 3L/2

Relative speed = 48 + 42 = 90 kmph = 90 x 5/18 = 25 m/s(opposite)

Time = 12 sec

=> 3L/2x25 = 12

=> L = 200 mts

Now it covers the bridge in 45 sec

=> distance = D + 200

Time = 45 sec

Speed = 48 x5/18 = 40/3 m/s

=> D + 200/(40/3) = 45

=> D = 600 - 200 = 400 mts

Hence, the length of the bridge = 400 mts.

From given data,

R : M = 5 : 7

M : A = 5 : 7

R : M : A = 25 : 35 : 49

25 + 35 + 49 = 109
