HSBC (Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation) is the first bank to introduce ATM concept in India in the year 1987 in Mumbai.

Let the principle be Rs. P
As the amount double itself the interest is Rs. P too
So P = P x r x 15/100
=> r = 100/15 = 20/3 % = 6.66 %.

Let the ratio amount be 'p'

7p - 3p = 2700

4p = 2700

p = 675

R's Share = 675 × 6 = Rs. 4050

Walking at 3/4th of usual rate implies that time taken would be 4/3th of the usual time. In other words, the time taken is 1/3rd more than his usual time

so 1/3rd of the usual time = 15min
or usual time = 3 x 15 = 45min = 45/60 hrs = 3/4 hrs.

Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120

For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120

So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120
So remaining tank = 13/120

Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.
So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes

Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.

India is a land of rivers. Rivers are generally treated as mothers and almost every major river of India has a legend regarding its origin.

The Ganges or Ganga is the longest river of India, if we consider the total distance covered by a river within India. Two major rivers of the Indian subcontinent – Brahmaputra and Indus – are though longer than the Ganges, but the distances these two rivers cover within India are much shorter than that of the Ganges.

The Ganges is the most sacred river to the Hindus. The Ganges originates from Gangotri Glacier (Uttarakhand). The total length that the Ganges covers during its journey is 2,525 kilometers (1569 miles) before it discharges in the Bay of Bengal.

The Godavari, also known as 'Dakshin Ganga' – the South Ganges, is the second longest river of India. It originates from Triambakeshwar, Nasik (Maharashtra), and travels through Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, before discharging into Bay of Bengal.
