The given number puzzle can be soved in two ways.

Logic 1 ::

Row 1  - 2 x 3 = 6 , 6 x 3 = 18

Row 2  - 4 x 5 = 20 , 20 x 5 = 100

Row 3  - 3 x 7 = 21 , 21 x 7 = 147

Hence, the missing number could be 3.

Logic 2 ::

Row 1 - 6 x (2+1) = 18

Row 2 - 20 x (4+1) = 100

Row 3 - 21 x (6+1) = 147

Hence, the missing number could be 6.

Therefore, 3 or 6 is the right answer.

Given series is A F Z U G L T _

Starts with A

A + 5 letters = F

go to end of alphabet= Z

Z - 5 letters = U

from F go one more to G + 5 letters = L

from U go one back to U, T - 5 letters = O

Second Method ::

Change the letters to their corresponding number.

A=1

B=2

C=3

...

Z=26

A F Z U G L T _

1 6 26 21 7 12 20 ?

Look at the pattern: the 1st and 3rd numbers = 27, 1+26

the 2nd and 4th numbers = 27, 6+21

the 5th and 7th numbers = 27,

so the 6 and 8th would also equal 27.

27 - 12 = 15,

so the letter is O.

Man walked 6 km at 1.5 kmph, again he walked 8 km at speed of 2 kmph and 40 km at a speed of 8kmph
time taken indivisually:
=> 6/1.5 = 4 m
=> 8/2 = 4 m
=> 40/8 = 5 m

Average speed of man= total distance/ total time
=> 54/13 = 4213 kmph

Let the sum at 15% be Rs x and that at 18% be Rs (24000 - x).

{(x * 15 * 1)/100 } + { [(24000 – x) * 18 * 1]/100 } = 4050

or 15 x + 432000 - 18x = 405000 or x = 9000.

Money borrowed at 15% = Rs 9000 .

Money borrowed at 18% = Rs 15000.

(1500 x R1 x 3)/100 

=> 4500 (R1-R2) = 1350 

=> (R1-R2)= 1350/4500 = 0.3 %
