Let the place be at a distance of 'd' kms

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} d5 - 1 + d5 + 1 = 7560 kms \\ d4 + d6 = 54 \\ \end{gathered}$$

5d/12 = 5/4 => d = 3 kms.

Hence, the place is 3 kms far.

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4

According to the question,

Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last

two odd numbers is 396

i.e, x+3 and x-3

$$\begin{gathered} ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396 \\ ⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396 \\ ⇒ 12x = 396 \\ ⇒ x = 33 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.

The stability triangle is used to describe the movement of center of gravity of a load vehicle like trucks. If the load is not balanced then it moves and may tip over it.

If you were to raise a lift truck up and look at its underside, you would see that the support points for the truck are located at points A, B, and C. The triangle formed between points A, B, and C is called the Stability Triangle. The lift truck will not tip over as long as the center of gravity remains inside the triangle.

The center of gravity is the point within a lift truck where there is equal weight all around it.

We know that,

$$\begin{gathered} S.I. = PTR100 \\ ⇒ P = S.I x 100T x R \\ And also, \\ C.I = P1 + R100n- 1 \end{gathered}$$

From given data, P = Rs. 8625

Now, C.I  = $$\begin{gathered} 86251+41002-1 \\ = 862526252-1 \\ = 8625676625-1 \\ = 8625 x 51625 \\ C.I = Rs. 703.80 \end{gathered}$$
