The one word substitution for a hater of knowledge and learning is Misologist.

Putting A=1, B=2, C=3,..., M=13,....,X=24,Y=25, Z=26, we have :

 JR = J + R2 + 2 = 10 + 18 2 + 2 = 16

CK = C + K2 + 2 = 3 + 112 + 2 = 9

TX = T + X2+ 2 = 20 + 242 + 2 = 24

OS = O + S2 + 2 = 15 + 192 + 2 = 19

 So, the missing numbers are :

21 and 14

Hence, the answer is (b).

Let X = Time taken for each of Type B Problems(100 Problems)
And 2X = Time taken for each of Type A problems(50 problems)

Total time period = 3hrs = 3 x 60min = 180 minutes

100X + 50(2X) = 180
100X + 100X = 180
200X = 180 min

X = 180/200
X = 0.90 min

By convertiing into seconds,

X = 0.90 x 60 seconds
X = 54 sec

So, time taken for Part A problems is = 54 x 2 x 50 = 5400 seconds
= 5400/60sec = 90 minutes.

The pattern 'mpon' is repeated.

There are 600 Kabaddi players
4% wear knee band on one leg
Remaining players = 600 x 0.96 = 576
Of the remaining, 25% wear knee bands on both leg
and Of the remaining, 75% do not wear knee bands .
So players not wearing knee bands = 0.75 x 576 = 576 x 3/4 = 144 x 3 = 432.

The total angle traced by the hour hand is the angle traced in 7 hours and 10 minutes.
We know that the angle traced by the hour hand in one hour is 30º and in one minute is 1/2º.
Therefore, (30º x 7) + (10 x 1/2º) = 215º is the angle traced by the hour hand.
