Reduction in consumption
= P100+P X 100%
= 25100+25 X 100%
= 20%

K+2 M+1 N-2 L,  P+2 R+1 S-2 Q,   V+1 W+2 Y+1 Z,   J+2 L+1 M-2 K  and  W+2 Y+1 Z-2 X.

Except VWYZ, all the other groups follow similar pattern.

From the given data,

K's profit : L's profit = 7x x 11 : 9x x 7

= 11:9

Therefore, L's profit = 9 x 2460/20 =  Rs. 1107

Given a secret is told to 3 persons in 3 minutes.
And if the process continues with each person saying 3 other persons,
In 30 minutes => the rocess for 10 times because each person time is 3 minutes.
Required number of persons = 3 + 32 + 33 + .... + 39 + 310

Now it forms a geometric progression,

Sum to n terms is S = arn - 1r - 1

Here a = 3, r = 3

 
=> 59048 x 3 /2

= 88572.

It is in the form of a2-b2a-b = a+ba-ba-b = a+b

Here a = 3.39   b = 2.61 

 = 3.39 + 2.61 = 6.

A Clock has 3 hands i.e, an Hour hand, a Minute hand and a Seconds hand.

In the given puzzle, the logic is the product of the number and its preceeding number gives the result.

9 = 9 x 8 = 72

8 = 8 x 7 = 56

7 = 7 x 6 = 42

6 = 6 x 5 = 30

5 = 5 x 4 = 20

Similarly,

3 = 3 x 2 = 6.

Given that,

 working days = 5

 working hours = 8

 A man get rupess per hour is Rs.2.40

 So in one day the man get total rupees is 2.40 x 8 = 19.2

 So in 5 days week the man get total rupees is 19.2 x 5 = 96

 So in 4 week the man get total rupees is 96 x 4 = 384

 So the man worked for = 160hours in 4 weeks

 But given that the man earned Rs.432

 Hence remaning money is (432-384 = 48)which is earn by doing overtime work

Overtime hours  = 48/3.20 = 15

So total worked hours is = 15 + 160 = 175.
