Here the series is:

987654321, 87654321, 7654321, 65...

Let C.P. = Rs. C.
Then, 832 - C = C - 448
2C = 1280 => C = 640
Required S.P. = 150% of Rs. 640 = 150/100 x 640 = Rs. 960.

Since the narrator has no brother, his father’s son is he himself. So, the man who is talking is the father of the man in the photograph. Thus, the man in the photograph is his son.

     CP : MP = 2x : 3x

 => Profit = x

( %) profit : (%) discount = 3:2

Let  CP = 2000,  SP = 300

But  3x100×200 + 2x100×300 = 100

=>  x = 8.33%

Discount 2x = 16.66% 

Let the amounts to be received by P, Q and R be p, q and r.
p + q + r = 1200
p = 1/2 (q + r) => 2p = q + r

Adding 'p' both sides, 3p = p + q + r = 1200
=> p = Rs.400

q = 1/3 (p + r) => 3q = p + r

Adding 'q' both sides, 4q = p + q + r = 1200
=> q = Rs.300

r = 1200 - (p + q) => r = Rs.500.
