There are 8 holes in this given shirt.

Manju borrows Rs. 5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest 

She also lends it at 6 1⁄4% p.a for 2 years 

=> Total Gain = 6 1/4% − 4% = 2 1/4%

So her gain in the transaction for 1 year

= The simple interest she gets for Rs.5000 for 1 year at 2 1⁄4% per annum

= PTR100=5000×94×1100 = Rs. 112.5/ year.

  LCD is nothing but Lowest or Least Common Denominator

Here LCD of 12 and 18 means LCD of two fractions with denominators 12 and 18 respectively.

Therefore, LCM of 12 & 18 = 6 x 3 x 2 = 36 

•  How to calculate LCD ::

The lowest common denominator or least common denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a set of fractions.

Let the rquired number be 'P'

According to the question,

$$\begin{gathered} 100 x P100 = 20 \\ => P = 20 x 100100 = 20 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 100 percent of the number 20 is 20.

Now, you can also try for

20 percent of what number is 100

$$\begin{gathered} 20 x P100 = 100 \\ => P = 100 x 10020 = 500 \\ => P = 500 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 20 percent of the number 500 is 100.

From the given data,

When the price of rice is decreased by 10%, the value of Rs. 270 would become

270 x 100/90 = 300

Now, the value 270 becomes 300

And given, the girl could buy 1 kg extra for that value

Change in value = 300 - 270 = Rs. 30

Therefore, 1 kg extra rice she can get for Rs. 30

=> The original price of rice = Rs. 30/kg.

As she gets only 9 kgs for Rs. 270 before 10% discount, now after discount she gets 10 kgs instead of 9 kgs for Rs. 270.  

As in this problem , buying any fruit is different case , as buying apple is independent from buying banana. so ADDITION rule will be used.

C19+C18+C16 = 23 will be answer.

The Chipko movement or Chipko Andolan refers to a forest conservation movement or deforestation. In modern india, it began in 1973 in the state of Uttar Pradesh (now Uttarakhand). Sunderlal Bahuguna and 84 villagers risked their lives to protect the forest trees from being felled on the order of the maharaja (king) and went on to become a rallying point for many future environmental movements all over the world it created a precedent for starting of nonviolent protest in India, and its success meant that the world immediately took notice of this non violent movement, which was to inspire in time many such eco-groups by helping to slow down the rapid deforestation, expose vested interests, increase ecological awareness, and demonstrate the viability of people power. Above all, it stirred up the existing civil society in India, which began to address the issues of tribal and marginalized people.

Chipko type movement dates back to 1730 AD when in a khejarli village of Rajasthan, 363 people sacrificed their lives to save khejari trees.
