The given letters equation states that 

18 H on a GC means 18 Holes on a Golf Course. 

A filament is a metal wire that glows when electricity is channeled into it. The filament of an electric bulb is made of Tunsten. 

Because of its high melting point and its greatest tensile strength, it makes for a good filament in light bulbs.

The number of ways of arranging n beads in a necklace is (n-1)!2=(8-1)!2=7!2 = 2520 

(since n = 8)

Let the initial amount be x (with gambler), then 

 x+10012 + 10012+10012 = x2

=> x = 700/3

Since at 4 : 20 the minute hand will be at 4 and the angle between them will be same as the distance covered in degree by the hour hand in 20 minutes.

Required angle = distance of hour hand = speed × time = 12× 20 =10 degrees.

Let 1kg of Rs. 100 then 840gm is of Rs. 84.
Now (label on can 1kg but contains 840kg ) so for customer it is of Rs. 100 and further gives 4% discount [he sells his article on 4% loss on cost price.]
So now S.P = Rs. 96
But actually it contains 840 gm so C.P for shopkeeper = Rs. 84
S.P = Rs. 96
C.P = Rs. 84
Profit% = {(S.P-C.P)/C.P}x100
{(96-84)/84} x 100 = 14.28571429% PROFIT.

Deepa invested Rs.50,000 for 12 months, Rs.(50000 + 20000) for 12 months and Rs.(50000 + 20000 + 20000) for 12 months.
i.e, she invested Rs.50,000 for 12 months, Rs.70000 for 12 months and Rs.90000 for 12 months.
Sushma invested Rs. 70000 for 2 years; i.e, Rs.70000 for 24 months
And, Avanthi invested Rs.70000 for 1 year; i.e, Rs. 70000 for 12 months.

Their investing ratio:
Deepa : Sushma : Avanthi = (50,000 x 12 + 70000 x 12 + 90000 x 12):(70000 x 24):(70000 x 12)
= (25,20,000):(16,80,000):(8,40,000) = 252:168:84 = 3:2:1

Total profit for 3 years = Rs.3,00,000
Therefore, Sushma's share = Rs.(3,00,000 x 2 /(3+2+1)) = Rs.(3,00,000 x 2/6) = Rs.1,00,000.
