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 that 1 year = 365.25 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

=> 1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

But 1 billion seconds = ?

1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

    ?     =  1000000000 Seconds

? = 1000000000365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 years = 31. 68 years.

Present age of Sony = 24 + 4 = 28 years

After 5 years Renuka's age = 7×5 + 5 = 40 years

K = 100 L = 130
130------ 30
100------- ? => 23 1/13 %

The following arrangements satisfy all 3 conditions.

Arrangement 1: 3 books in a row; 12 rows.

Arrangement 2: 4 books in a row; 9 rows.
Arrangement 3: 6 books in a row; 6 rows.
Arrangement 4: 9 books in a row; 4 rows.
Arrangement 5: 12 books in a row; 3 rows.

Therefore, the possible arrangements are 5.

The mother completes the job in x hours.
So, the daughter will take 2x hours to complete the same job.

In an hour, the mother will complete 1/x of the total job.
In an hour, the daughter will complete 1/2x of the total job.

So, if the mother and daughter work together, in an hour they will complete 1/x + 1/2x of the job.
i.e., in an hour they will complete 3/2x of the job.

The question states that they complete the entire task in 6 hours if they work together.
i.e., they complete 1/6 th of the task in an hour.

Equating the two information, we get 3/2x = 1/6
By solving for x, we get 2x = 18 or x = 9.

The mother takes 9 hours to complete the job.

Given in municipality election 54% votes have won by 1080

Let the total number of votes be x.

 54x100 - 46x100 = 1080

8x = 108000

x = 13,500

Therefore, total number of votes = 13,500.
