Difference in amount = 514 - 415 = 99

99 = (415 x 4 x R)/100

R = 5.96%

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.

Caught - according to the sentence given caught means to become involved in something, often without wanting to.

Impasse - means a situation in which further development is impossible.

Given,
S.I = 3 Principal Amount
=> 3A = A x 16 x R/100
By solving, we get
=> R = 18.75%

A measuring device.

Measuring devices have feet on them to measure distance.

Here given Interest earned = Rs. 2260

Time = 3 years

Rate of interest = ?

Principal Amount = ?

So, it can't be determined.

x = √8 - √7 = 1/(√8 + √7) and y = √6 - √5 = 1/(√6 + √5) and z = √10 - 3 = 1/(√10 + 3)

As (√8 + √7) > (√6 + √5), (√8 - √7) < (√6 - √5)

As (√10 + 3) > (√8 + √7) > (√6 + √5)

z < x < y.

You will get the answer in the riddle itself, if you read the riddle carefully.
