Given ratio of number of sheep and horses = 4 : 15
Let number of sheep and horses are 4k and 15k
Number of horses = 13200/110 = 120
Now 15K = 120 and k = 8
Number of sheep = 4k = (4 x 8) = 32

Money lent to A+B = (300 + 540) = Rs. 840 

Amount received = Rs. 1032 

Interest received = Rs. 1032 - Rs.840 = Rs. 192

Interest on Rs. 300 lent to A for 1 year = 300×1×4100 = Rs. 12 

Interest on Rs.540 lent to B for 1 year = 540×6×1100 = Rs. 36 

Total yearly interest = Rs.(12+36) = Rs.48 

If interest is Rs. 48, time = 1 year 

If interest is Rs. 192, time =  192/48 = 4 years 

Logic is

1st fig : 9x2 + 5 = 23

2nd fig : 6x3 + 4 = 22

3rd fig : Nx4 + 5 = 9 => N = 1.

International Plastic Bag Free Day was observed on 3rd of July 2017. It has been dedicated to heightening awareness about plastic and disposable carrying devices. International Plastic Bag Free Day gives us an opportunity to remind ourselves, and others, that every action we take, and every bag we dispose of effects the lives of everyone in the world for generations to come.

Number of pages typed by Adam in 1 hour = 36/6 = 6
Number of pages typed by Smith in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = (6 + 8) = 14
Time taken by both to type 110 pages = (120 * 1/14) = 847 = 8 hrs 34 min.

Let a, b and c be the amounts invested in schemes X, Y and Z respectively. Then,

As we know:

Simple interest (S.I.) = PTR/100

(a × 10 × 1/100) + (b × 12 × 1/100) + (c × 15 × 1/100) = 3200

= 10a + 12b + 15c = 320000 .........(1)

Now, c = 240% of b = 12b/5 .........(2)

And, c = 150% of a = 3a/2 => a = 2/3 c = (2 × 12)b/(3 × 5) = 8b/5 .......(3)

From (1), (2) and (3), we have

16b + 12b + 36b = 320000 => 64b = 320000 => b = 5000

∴ Sum invested in Scheme Y = Rs.5000.

Let filling capacity of the pump be 'F' m3/min

Then, the filling capacity of the pump will be (F + 10) m3/min

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} 2400F - 2400F+10= 8 \\ ⇒ 2400 F+10-FF(F+10) =8 \\ ⇒ F2 + 10F - 3000 = 0 \\ ⇒ F = 50 m3/min \end{gathered}$$
