What has Hands But cannot Clap is a Clock or a Watch.

A Clock technically has 3 hands.

1 Hour Hand Which tells Hours

1 Minute Hand Which tells Minutes

1 Second Hand Which tells Seconds.

But cannot clap with these hands.

Let the present age of Deepa = 5p

Let the present age of Hyma = 6p

After four years their ratio = 6 : 7

=> 5p + 46p + 4 = 67

=> 35p + 28 = 36p + 24

=> p = 4

Therefore, the difference between their ages = 24 - 20 = 4 years.

Here given Interest earned = Rs. 2260

Time = 3 years

Rate of interest = ?

Principal Amount = ?

So, it can't be determined.

Here simple coding language has been used. Each letter has been assigned a numeric code and the respective code of letters are in the same order as the letters. 

Letter      B  E  L  M  O  P  R

Code         8  7  3  5  4  2  9

 BORE -> 8497 -- correct

 MOEP -> 5472 But given 5972 --- Incorrect

 LBOR -> 3849  -- correct

OMEP -> 4572  -- correct

The probability of an impossible event is 0.

The event is known ahead of time to be not possible, therefore by definition in mathematics, the probability is defined to be 0 which means it can never happen.

The probability of a certain event is 1.

Let the cost price of the fruits be 'C.P'

From the given data, after analysis it can be solved as

(121% of C.P) - (125% of 91% of C.P) = 29

$$\begin{gathered} 121100 C.P - 125100 x 91100 x C.P = 29 \\ 121100 - 125 x 91100 x 100 C.P = 29 \\ (12100 - 125 x 91) C.P = 290000 \\ (12100 - 11375) C.P = 290000 \\ 725 C.P = 290000 \\ C.P = 400 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the cost price of the fruits = Rs. 400.

We know the formula for calculating

The compound interest C = P1 + r100n - 1 where P = amount, r = rate of interest, n = time

Here P = 5000, r1 = 10, r2 = 20

Then $$\begin{gathered} C = 65001 + 101002 x 1 + 201002 - 1 \\ = 6500 x 18562500 \\ = 65 x 185625 \end{gathered}$$

C = Rs. 4826.
