Given that SP = Rs. 12000 - 10%  = Rs. 10,800

Loss% = 4

We know that, C.P = 100/(100 - Loss%) x 100

=> 100/100-4 x 10800

=> 1080000/96

C.P = Rs. 11,250

Let the runs scored by P, Q, R, S and T be  a, b, c, d and e

From given data,

a + b + c + d + e = 36 x 5 = 180
b + c = 107
Let a = x
e = x-8
d = x-3
now 3x - 11 + 107 = 180
3x = 84
x = 28
e's score = 28-8 = 20

Hydrogen gas is used for making vegetables and vanaspathi from vegetable oils.

As it is colourless, odourless, tasteless, flammable gaseous substance, it is added to oils to make them more solid or spreadable.

The use of hydrogenation helps to prolong the shelf life of the food and maintain flavour stability.

We know that 40% = 25

40% of 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

25 x 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

We know that (35% of 180 = 180% of 35) & 180% = 95

25 x 265 + 95 x 35 = 50% ?

106 + 63 = 50% ?

?= 2 x 169 = 338.

3T+12C = 48,250----(1)

21T+36C = ?

multiply eq (1) with 3
i.e,, 3(7T+12C) = 48,250*3
21T+36C = 1,44,750/-

The pattern is 32+42=52,  52+122=132, 72+242=252 

The next number = 82+152=172

 i.e. 17

Relative Speed = 5 ¾ - 4 ½ = 1 ¼

Time = 3 ½ h.

Distance = 5/4 x 7/2 = 35/8 = 4 3/8 km.
