By mistake = x/10 

Actual value = x * 10 

% Change = 10x-x1010x×100 = 99100×100  = 99% (negative)

Since actual value is greater than the wrong value.

Here the letters follow the rule (AxZ)+(A+Z)

The number corresponding to the letters are used in the rule

A=1, Z=26 => 26x1 + 1 + 26 = 26+27 = 53 =  053

(LxP)+(L+P) = (12 x16) + 12 + 16 = 192+28 = 220

Similarly (11x12) + 11 + 12 => 132 + 23 = 155 

In 1hr, the bus covers 60 km without stoppages and 40 km with stoppages.

Stoppage time = time take to travel (60 - 40) km i.e 20 km at 60 km/hr.

stoppage time = 20/60 hrs = 20 min.

Let P's speed = x km/hr. Then, Q's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr.

So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14

x2 - 98x + 168 = 0

(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4.

Since, P is faster than Q,

so P's speed = 4 km/hr and Q's speed = 3 km/hr.

The first Indian woman to ever win an Olympic medal was Karnam Malleswari who won a bronze medal at the Sydney Olympics in the Women's 69 kg category in Weightlifting.

Let the side of the square plot be 'a' ft.
Given area of the plot (a x a) = 289 => a = 17
Length of the fence = Perimeter of the plot = 4a = 68 ft.
Cost of building the fence = 68 x 58 = Rs. 3944.

A periscope is an optical instrument that uses a system of prisms, lenses, or mirrors to reflect images through a tube.

Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer’s eye.

Hence, A periscope works by the principle of Total internal reflection.
