We know that, in computers transformation of input into output is performed by the ALU unit i.e, the Arithematic and Logical unit that performs all the logical and arithmatical operations in the CPU - Central Processing Unit.

In the given puzzle, the logic is

2 + 3 = 10 => (2 + 3) * 2 = 10

6 + 3 = 54 => (6 + 3) * 6 = 54

8 + 3 = 88 =>  (8 + 3) * 8 = 88

Similarly,

9 + 7  => (9 + 7) * 9 = 16 x 9 = 144.

The Sphygmomanometer is the instrument that is used for measuring blood pressure.

Watson bought the book for Rs. 240 and sold to Johny at a profit of 50%.

S.P = C.P(1 + P%/100)

=> S.P for Watson = C.P for Johny = 240(1 + 50/100) = 240 x 1.5 = Rs. 360

Let Johny quoted the marked price of the book as Rs. M

We know, SP = M.P(1 - Discount(%)/100)

Here discount = 10% to Shekar,

S.P for Johny = M(1 - 10/100) = 0.9M

But Johny want to earn 25% profit,

=> S.P = C.P(1 + P%/100)

=> 0.9M = 360(1 + 25/100)

=> M = (360x1.25)/0.9

=> M = Rs. 500

Therefore, Johny should quote Rs. 500 as the marked price of the book to get 25% profit and allowing 10% discount to Shekar.

Rate of her upstream = 12/2.5 = 4.8 km/hr

Then, ATQ

Rate of downstream = 4.8 x 3 = 14.4 km/hr

Hence, the distance she covers downstream in 5 hrs = 14.4 x 5 = 72 kms.

Duge Beipanjiang Bridge in southwest China, opened to traffic this week and now the highest bridge in the world, some 565 metres (1,854 feet) above the valley below.The bridge stretches across a 1,341-metre (4,400-foot) span. Three years in the making, it's estimated to have cost the Chinese government around 1 billion yuan (or US$144 million).The bridge is going to cut travel times between Liupanshui in the Guizhou province and Xuanwei in the Yunnan province to two hours instead of the current five – as long as you don't mind the heights.The bridge crosses the the Nizhu river, and to give you some idea of the size of the drop down to the water below, it's almost 2 Eiffel Towers or one-and-a-half Empire State Buildings.
