Indian painter is not a poet → F

Solution:

The average of two numbers is 9, so the sum of those two numbers is 2 * 9 = 18.

The average of three numbers is 4, so the sum of those three numbers is 3 * 4 = 12.

The sum of all five numbers is 18 + 12 = 30.

The average of those 5 numbers is 30 / 5 = 6.

As per the information given,

From front, 21 people are ahead of  Ram.

Solution:

Let x be the number of rupees in question. We are given that 60% of x is equal to 83(1/3) % of 90 rupees.

60/100 * x = 83.33/100 * 90

60/100 * x = 250/3 * 3

x = 250/3 * 3 * 100/60

x = 125

Therefore, the answer is 125

The correct answer is Devgiri.

Key Points

• Muhammad bin Tughlaq succeeded to the throne of the Delhi in 1325 CE.
• Muhammad Tughluq adopted a number of administrative measures.
• But, a large portion of these failed because of his fretfulness and absence of judgment.
• In 1327 CE, Muhammad-Bin-Tughlaq shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad or Devgiri.
• This was done to control his empire effectively as Daulatabad was centrally located.
• In this exodus, the Imperial Court and establishments were shifted initially followed by the citizens.
• The distance between Delhi and Daulatabad was around 1500 km.
• During migration, many people died because of the harsh weather.
• Those who reached Daulatabad experienced health issues and found it difficult to adjust in South India.
• In the following years, the courts and people were shifted back to Delhi.
• Thus, taking this measure was a huge blunder on the part of Muhammad-Bin-Tughlaq.

Solution:

The average speed of Shatabdi Express is calculated using the formula for the harmonic mean of two numbers.

The harmonic mean of two numbers a and b is given by 2ab/(a+b).

In this case, a is the speed of Shatabdi Express from Howrah to New Jalpaiguri, which is 100 kmph, and b is the speed of Shatabdi Express from New Jalpaiguri to Howrah, which is 120 kmph.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

2 * 100 * 120 / (100 + 120) = 24000 / 220 = 109(1/11) kmph

So, the average speed of Shatabdi Express is 109(1/11) kmph.

Given:

A sum of money triples itself

Time = 20 years

Concept used:

Simple interest = (Principal × Time × Rate) /100

Interest = Amount - Principal

Calculation:

Let the principal be x

Then, Amount = 3x

Interest = 3x – x = 2x

⇒ 2x = (x × 20 × R)/100

⇒ R = 10%

∴ The rate of interest is 10%
