Let the value to be find be 'x'.

 
Sum of individual column value = 14

 
C1 = 7 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 14
C2 = 3 + 8 + 1 + 2 = 14
C3 = 6 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 14

C4 = 2 + 4 + 4 + x = 14

x = 14 - 10

x = 4

Hence, the missing number is '4'.

Amount of work K can do in 1 day = 1/16

Amount of work L can do in 1 day = 1/12

Amount of work K, L and M can together do in 1 day = 1/4

Amount of work M can do in 1 day = 1/4 - (1/16 + 1/12) = 3/16 – 1/12 = 5/48

=> Hence M can do the job on 48/5 days = 9 (3/5) days

Money invested by Rajan before 1 year was = Rs. 100000

Money in UK pounds @ 75 is = 100000/75 = 1333.33 Pounds

Now, after 1 year invested amount was appreciated by 20%

=> 20% of 1333.33 = 266.66

Total investment becomes = 1333.33 + 266.66 = 1600 Pounds

This 1600 Pounds @ Indian currency at 80 = 1600 x 80 = Rs. 1,28,000

Hence, Rajan's investment of Rs. 1,00,000 becomes Rs. 1,28,000 in 1 year

Therefore, his profit % = [(128000 - 100000)/100000] x 100 = 28%.
