Given that train K crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train L crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds.

Let the length of train K be Lk and that of train L be Ll

given that Lk = 3/4 Ll

As the train K and L crosses the pole in 30 seconds and 80 seconds respectively,
=> Speed of train K = sk = Lk/30

Speed of train L = sl = Ll/80

Lk = 3/4 Ll
=> sk = 3/4 Ll/(30) = Ll/40

Ratio of their speeds = sk : sl
= Ll/40 : Ll/80

=> 1/40 : 1/80  =  2 : 1

Let the side of the square be 's' cm

length of rectangle = (s+5) cm

breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm

(s+5) (s-3) = 

s2 - 5s - 3s - 15 = s2 

2s = 15

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s–3) = 2(2s + 2)

= 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm 

Given total number of students in the class = 21

So each student will have 20 greeting cards to be send or receive (21 - 1(himself))

Therefore, the total number of greeting cards exchanged by the students = 20 x 21 = 420.

Let the number of correct answers be X.

Number of incorrect answers = (60 – X).

Therefore, 4x – (60 – x) = 130 

=> 5x = 190  => x = 38

-10+10-10*10100 % = -1%

 Decrease in revenue = 1%

729 = 9 x 9 x 9

=> Cube root of 729 = 9

Now, required square of 9 = 9 x 9 = 81.

Let Althaf lent Rs. A at 14% per year.
Hence, Money lent at 12% = (1500-A);
Given, total interest = Rs. 186.
{(A x 14x 1)/100} + {[(1500-A) x 12 x 1/100]} = 186;
14A/100 + (18000 -12A)/100 = 186;
14A + 18000 - 12A = 186x100;
2A = 18600-18000;
A = 600/2 = Rs. 300.
Hence, money lent at 12% = 1500-300 = Rs. 1200.

Total number of letters in the word ABYSMAL are 7

Number of ways these 7 letters can be arranged are 7! ways

But the letter is repeated and this can be arranged in 2! ways

Total number of ways arranging ABYSMAL = 7!/2! = 5040/2 = 2520 ways.
