Investment = Rs. [20 x (50 - 5)] = Rs. 900. 

Face value = Rs. (50 x 20) = Rs. 1000.

Dividend   = Rs.272*1000100=Rs.135 

Interest obtained = 135900*100 % = 15%

The sum of three consecutive integers can be written as n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 3n + 3

If the sum is 24, we need to solve the equation 3n + 3 = 24;

=> 3n = 21;

=> n = 7

The greatest of the three numbers is therefore 7 + 2 = 9

Let the milk he bought is 1000 ml

Let C.P of 1000 ml is Rs. 100

Here let he is mixing K ml of water

He is getting 30% profit

=> Now, the selling price is also Rs. 100 for 1000 ml

=> 100 : K%

= 100 : 30

10 : 3 is ratio of milk to water

=> Percentage of milk = 10 x 100/13 = 1000/13 = 76.92%

Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years.

Then,

 P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108 ⇒2PT= 10800 ...... (1)

 And, 

 P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180 ⇒2PR = 18000 ......(2)

Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of p
So, the data is not sufficient.

If the person who gets 1/4 of the whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average, each one will get =1/3×1/4=112 of the whole.
Therefore, if there are k persons other than the person who gets one-fourth, then 1/4 + k/12 = 1
⇒ k=9

Hence, total number of people = 10.

Given that the month begins on a Friday and has 31 days

Sundays = 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st
=> Total Sundays = 5

Every second & fourth Saturday is holiday.
2nd & 4th Saturday in every month = 2

Total days in the month = 31

Total working days = 31 - (5 + 2) = 24 days.

Two men, three women and one child can be selected in ⁴C₂ x ⁶C₃ x ⁵C₁ ways = 600 ways.
