Let number of boys in the school = x

Let number of girls in the school = y

Number of students participated in the sports = 300

Out of which boys = 100

but given number of boys participated in sports = x/3

=> x/3 = 100

=> x = 300

Remaining girls = 300 - 100 = 200

=> y/2 = 200

=> y = 400

Therefore, total number of students in the school = x + y = 300 + 400 = 700

An ignition safety switch is a safety device can shut off the engine if the operator falls off the PWC or out of the powerboat, or is otherwise thrown from the proper operating position.

How it works:

It allows the engine of the vehicle to shut off or to be turned off immediately as it is to prevent further complications to happen as this is being used when an emergency is launched

Where it is used:

Most powerboats and PWCs come equipped by the manufacturer with an emergency engine cut-off switch.

Given 5:6 :: 7:10 :: 6:5

We know that compound ratio is calculated as
a:b :: c:d :: e:f
(axcxe):(bxdxf)

=> (5x7x6):(6x10x5)
=> (210):(300)
= 7:10

As the win leads to multiplying the amount by 1.5 and loss leads to multiplying the amount by 0.5, we will multiply the initial amount by 1.5 thrice and by 0.5 thrice (in any order).

The overall resultant will remain same.

So final amount with the person will be (in all cases):

= 64(1.5)(1.5)(1.5)(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)= Rs. 27

Hence the final result is: 

64 − 27 = 37

A loss of Rs.37

Let the age of sushma be x and
the age of her son is y
Then five years before x-5=5(y-5) ...(1)
Five years hence x+5 = 3(y+5)-8 .....(2)

By soving (1) & (2), we get
5y - 15 = 3y + 7
y = 11 => x = 35

Therefore, the age of Sushma = 35 and her son = 11.

Given 30% of 500

$$\begin{gathered} = 30100 x 500 \\ = 30 x 5 \\ = 150 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 30% of Rs. 500 = Rs. 150.

Since they can do 19 programs in 19 hours, Then 52 programs in 52 hours respectively.
And a 15 min interval
Total time they take to do 52 programs is 52 hours 15 minutes.

Let the average bill paid by twenty members = 'x'

But 19 men paid each = Rs. 70

20th man paid Rs. 90.25 more than the avg bill of 20 = x + 90.25

20x = 19(70) + x + 90.25
19x = 1330 + 90.25
19x = 1420.25
x = 1420.25/19 = Rs. 74.75

But the total bill = 20 x 74.75 = Rs. 1495.
