To rotate is to energy to stop is to inertia. From the definition itself we know that inertia is a property by virtue of which a body continues to be in the state of rest or in state of motion. So over here whenever energy is supplied then the body starts to move that is a displacement is there and it is rotating where as whenever the body is stopped an inertia of rest is created.

So, Rotate : Energy :: Stop : Inertia.

No. of people who read Hindu = 285
No. of people who read TOI = 127
No. of people who read IE = 212
Now,
No. of people who read Hindu and TOI both is = 20
No. of people who read TOI and IE both is = 35
No. of people who read Hindu and IE both is = 29
Let No. of people who read Hindu , TOI and IE all is = x ;
So, only Hindu is = 285-20-29-x = 236-x ;
Only TOI is = 127-20-35-x = 72-x ;
Only IE is = 212-35-29-x = 148-x ;
Now, 236-x + 72-x + 148-x + 20 + 29 + 35 + x + 50 = 500 590 -2x = 500
So, x = 45 this is the value who read all the 3 dailies.
So, No. of people who read only one paper is = 236-45 + 72-45 + 148-45 = 191 + 27 + 103 = 321.

E is the daughter of A and F is the mother of E. So, A is the father of E and hence the husband of F. Now, 

D is the daughter of F. So, D and E are the daughters of A and F Also. A is the son of C. 

Now, only B remains. Thus, B and C are the parents of A. 

Clearly, A and F are the parents of the children D and E. 

The given number series is 8, 14, 24, 40, ? .

It follows a pattern that,

8

8 x 1.5 + 2 = 14

14 x 1.5 + 3 = 24

24 x 1.5 + 4 = 40

40 x 1.5 + 5 = 65

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 65.

Here 2nd number = (1st number x 1 )+1

 3rd number = (2nd number x 2 +2) 

4th number = (3rd number x 3 )+3 and so on..

Therefore, 5th number = (4th number x 4) +4 =57 x 4 + 4 =232.
