The given number series 999, 990, 998, 991, 997, 992, ?

It follows a pattern that,

999

999 - 9 = 990

990 + 8 = 998

998 - 7 = 991

991 + 6 = 997

997 - 5 = 992

992 + 4 = 996

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 996.

Only one such symbol is there in the given arrangement.

It is 4@5.

Let the original rate be R%. Then, new rate = (2R)%.

Note: Here, original rate is for 1 year(s); the new rate is for only 4 months i.e.1/3 year(s).

 725*R*1100+362.50*2R*1100*3=33.50

=> (2175 + 725) R = 33.50 x 100 x 3

=>  (2175 + 725) R = 10050

=>  (2900)R = 10050

 => R=100502900=3.46

Original rate = 3.46%

350 days = (350/7=50 weeks) i.e  No odd days,

 So it will be a Saturday.

How many times can you subtract 10 from 100, for this if we go through logically, it is only 1 time. For the first time if we subtract 10 from 100, then there will no 100 to subtract from.

Hence, it is only 1 time we can subtract 10 from 100.

Indian stamps are common to both ratios. Multiply both ratios by factors such that the Indian stamps are represented by the same number.

US : Indian = 5 : 2, and Indian : British = 5 : 1. Multiply the first by 5, and the second by 2. 

Now US : Indian = 25 : 10, and Indian : British = 10 : 2

Hence the two ratios can be combined and US : British = 25 : 2
