Let the cost price be Rs. 100
Then, market price is Rs. 140
Now, the first discount is of 28.57% Rs.140 =~ Rs. 40
Hence, its selling price = 140 - 40 = Rs. 100
Now since Rana is selling at cost price, any further discount will be equal to loss percentage.
The next dicount of 12.5% will be the loss percentage to Rana.

Cost price of the article is given by

= 400x100/(20+20)

= Rs.1000

The weight will be 250g plus (1.55 - 0.65)/0.10 units of 100g

250 + 900 = 1150

This is the maximum weight that can be sent at that price. But, weights exceeding

250 + 800 will also get charged this amount (that is what the ‘part thereof’ implies).

Hence a package weighing 1145 will be charged $1145

The number of liters in each can = HCF of 80, 144 and 368 = 16 liters.
Number of cans of Maaza = 368/16 = 23
Number of cans of Pepsi = 80/16 = 5
Number of cans of Sprite = 144/16 = 9
The total number of cans required = 23 + 5 + 9 = 37 cans.

Downstream speed = 72km/8hrs  = 9 kmph
upstream speed = 84km/12hrs = 7 kmph
speed of boat = avg of downstream and upstream speeds
speed of boat = (9+7)/2kmph = 8 kmph.
current speed = half of the difference of downstream and upstream speeds
currend speed = (9-7)/2kmph = 1 kmph

Raj Tarun's age = 0 when he was born.
Then, given his brother is 6 years old.
Then his father is 6 + 32 = 38 when Raj Tarun was born
And his mother is 3 years yonger than his father => so his mother was 35 years old when Raj Tarun was born
and his sister is 25 year younger than his mother
so Raj Tarun's sister was 10 years old when Raj Tarun was born.

Here from 4th December 1999 to 3rd January 2000,
there is a difference of 30 days.
Number of odd days = 30/7 = 2 odd days

Then no. of odd days = 2 => tuesday and wednesday(from monday).

Hence on 3rd january it is wednesday.
