Here is the solution in HTML format:

Given:

Principal (P) = $1500

Rate of interest (R) = 6% per annum

Time period (T) = 4 years

Formula Used:

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T) / 100

Calculation:

SI = (1500 × 6 × 4) / 100

⇒ SI = (1500 × 24) / 100

⇒ SI = 36000 / 100

⇒ SI = 360

The interest Alex will receive after 4 years is $360.

Given:

Loss incurred on selling an article = 38%

Formula Used:

Loss Percentage = ((Cost Price - Selling Price) / Cost Price) × 100

Cost Price / Selling Price = 100 / (100 - Loss Percentage)

Calculation:

Loss Percentage = 38%

Cost Price / Selling Price = 100 / (100 - 38)

Cost Price / Selling Price = 100 / 62

Cost Price / Selling Price = 50 / 31

The ratio of cost price to selling price is 50:31.

Given:

Cost price (CP) of an article = Rs. 650

Discount = 45%

Gain = 10%

Formula Used:

Marked Price (MP) = Selling Price (SP) / (1 - Discount%)

Selling Price (SP) = Cost Price (CP) × (1 + Gain%)

Calculation:

Gain% = 10% = 10 / 100 = 0.1

Discount% = 45% = 45 / 100 = 0.45

Selling Price (SP) = CP × (1 + Gain%)

⇒ SP = 650 × (1 + 0.1)

⇒ SP = 650 × 1.1

⇒ SP = 715

Marked Price (MP) = SP / (1 - Discount%)

⇒ MP = 715 / (1 - 0.45)

⇒ MP = 715 / 0.55

⇒ MP = 1300

The marked price of the article is Rs. 1300.

Given:

Selling price at 10% loss after a discount of 20%.

Formula Used:

Let the cost price be CP.

Marked price (MP) = x × CP.

Discounted price (DP) = MP × (1 - discount%).

Selling price (SP) = CP × (1 - loss%).

Calculation:

Let the cost price (CP) be 100.

Given loss = 10% ⇒ SP = 100 × (1 - 0.10) = 90.

Given discount = 20% ⇒ DP = MP × (1 - 0.20) = 0.80 × MP.

Since DP = SP, we have:

0.80 × MP = 90

⇒ MP = 90 / 0.80

⇒ MP = 112.5

Original marked price as a percentage of the cost price:

(MP / CP) × 100

(112.5 / 100) × 100

⇒ 1.125 × 100%

⇒ 112.5%

The original marked price as a percentage of the cost price is 112.5% (Option 4).

Given:

Simplify: 18 - (3/2) × (4 + 1)

Formula Used:

Order of operations: Parentheses → Exponents → Multiplication and Division → Addition and Subtraction (PEMDAS)

Calculation:

Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses

4 + 1 = 5

Step 2: Perform multiplication

(3/2) × 5 = 3 × 5 / 2 = 15 / 2 = 7.5

Step 3: Subtract from 18

18 - 7.5

⇒ 18 - 7.5 = 10.5

The correct answer is 10.5

Given:

Average of b, c, d, e = 25

Average of b and c = 11

Formula used:

Sum = Average × Number of terms

Sum of d and e = Total sum of b, c, d, e - Sum of b and c

Average of d and e = (Sum of d and e) ÷ 2

Calculations:

Sum of b, c, d, e = 25 × 4 = 100

Sum of b and c = 11 × 2 = 22

Sum of d and e = 100 - 22 = 78

Average of d and e = 78 ÷ 2 = 39

∴ The average of d and e is 39.

Given:

Expression: 1008 - 40 × 20 ÷ 10 + 2

Calculation:

⇒ 1008 - 40 × 20 ÷ 10 + 2

⇒ 1008 - 40 × 2 + 2

⇒ 1008 - 80 + 2

⇒ 1008 - 80 + 2

⇒ 928 + 2

⇒ 930

The value of the expression 1008 - 40 × 20 ÷ 10 + 2 is 930.

Given:

Speed from Q to S = 45 km/hr.

Average speed = 36 km/hr.

Formula Used:

Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

Calculation:

Let the distance between Q and S be d km.

Let the speed from S to Q be x km/hr.

Total distance = 2d

Time taken from Q to S = d / 45

Time taken from S to Q = d / x

Total time = (d / 45) + (d / x)

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

36 = 2d / ((d / 45) + (d / x))

⇒ 36 = 2d × 45x / (d(x + 45))

⇒ 36 = 90x / (x + 45)

⇒ 36(x + 45) = 90x

⇒ 36x + 1620 = 90x

⇒ 1620 = 90x - 36x

⇒ 1620 = 54x

⇒ x = 1620 / 54

⇒ x = 30

The speed while moving from S to Q is 30 km/hr.

Given:

Final price = ₹489.6

First decrease = 32%

Then increase = 44%

Formula used:

Final Price = Original Price × (1 - Decrease/100) × (1 + Increase/100)

Original Price = Final Price ÷ [(1 - Decrease/100) × (1 + Increase/100)]

Calculations:

Original Price = 489.6 ÷ [(1 - 32/100) × (1 + 44/100)]

⇒ Original Price = 489.6 ÷ [(1 - 0.32) × (1 + 0.44)]

⇒ Original Price = 489.6 ÷ [0.68 × 1.44]

⇒ Original Price = 489.6 ÷ 0.9792

⇒ Original Price = ₹500

∴ The original price of the article is ₹500.

Given:

Minto alone can make a table in 75 days.

Pinto alone can make it in 150 days.

Pinto worked for 30 days.

Formula Used:

Work done by one person in 1 day = 1 / Number of days required to complete the work

Calculation:

Work done by Pinto in 1 day = 1 / 150

Work done by Pinto in 30 days = 30 / 150

Work done by Pinto in 30 days = 1 / 5

Remaining work = 1 - 1 / 5

Remaining work = 4 / 5

Work done by Minto in 1 day = 1 / 75

Let the number of days required by Minto to complete the remaining work be x.

Work done by Minto in x days = x / 75

Since Minto completes the remaining work:

⇒ x / 75 = 4 / 5

⇒ x = (4 / 5) × 75

⇒ x = 60

Minto can finish the remaining work in 60 days.

Given:

Original salary = Rs. 15,000

Increase in salary = 12%

Formula Used:

New salary = Original salary + (Original salary × Percentage increase / 100)

Calculation:

Original salary = Rs. 15,000

Percentage increase = 12%

Increase in salary = 15,000 × (12 / 100)

⇒ Increase in salary = 15,000 × 0.12

⇒ Increase in salary = Rs. 1,800

New salary = Original salary + Increase in salary

⇒ New salary = 15,000 + 1,800

⇒ New salary = Rs. 16,800

The new salary after a 12% increase is Rs. 16,800.

Given:

Total surface area of the cube = 726 cm²

Formula Used:

⇒ 726 = 6 × (side)²

⇒ (side)² = 726 / 6

⇒ (side)² = 121

⇒ side = √121

⇒ side = 11 cm

Volume of cube = (side)³

⇒ Volume = 11³

⇒ Volume = 1331 cm³

The volume of the cube is 1331 cm³.

Given:

A can complete the work in 16 days.

Calculation:

Work done by A in 1 day = 1/16

Work done by B in 1 day = 1/24

Work done by C in 1 day = 1/32

⇒ Work done by A, B, and C together in 1 day = (1/16) + (1/24) + (1/32)

⇒ Work done by A, B, and C together in 1 day = (3/48) + (2/48) + (1.5/48)

⇒ Work done by A, B, and C together in 1 day = (6.5/48)

⇒ Work done by A, B, and C together in 1 day = (13/96)

Number of days taken by A, B, and C to complete the work = 1 / (Work done by A, B, and C together in 1 day)

⇒ Number of days taken by A, B, and C to complete the work = 96/13

All three will take 96/13 days to complete the work.

Shortcut Trick

For 2 years, the difference between Compound Interest (CI) and Simple Interest (SI) is given by the formula: D = P × (R/100)².

Given: Difference (D) = ₹4,320 and Principal (P) = ₹12,000.

⇒ 4,320 = 12,000 × (R/100)²

⇒ 4,320 ÷ 12,000 = (R/100)²

⇒ 0.36 = (R/100)² ⇒ R/100 = √0.36 = 0.6

⇒ R = 0.6 × 100 = 60%

∴ The correct answer is 60%.

Alternate Method

Given:

Principal (P) = ₹12,000

Time (T) = 2 years

CI − SI = ₹4,320

Formula Used:

SI = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

CI = P[(1 + R/100)^T − 1]

Calculations:

⇒ SI = (12,000 × R × 2) ÷ 100 = 240R

⇒ CI = 12,000[(1 + R/100)² − 1]

⇒ CI = 12,000[1 + R²/10000 + 2R/100 − 1]

⇒ CI = 12,000[R²/10000 + 2R/100] = 1.2R² + 240R

⇒ CI − SI = (1.2R² + 240R) − 240R = 4,320

⇒ 1.2R² = 4,320

⇒ R² = 4,320 ÷ 1.2 = 3,600

⇒ R = √3,600 = 60%

∴ The correct answer is 60%.

Additional Information

⇒ qs = q × s = 3 × 9 = 27

⇒ pr : qs = 2 : 27

The value of pr ∶ qs is 2 : 27.

Given:

Profit on selling price = 32%

Formula Used:

Profit Percent on Cost Price (CP) = (Profit)/(CP) × 100

Profit = Selling Price (SP) - Cost Price (CP)

Calculation:

Given that Profit on SP is 32%, hence:

Profit = 0.32 × SP

SP = CP + Profit

Let the Cost Price (CP) be 100.

SP = 100 + 0.32 × SP

⇒ SP = 100 / (1 - 0.32)

⇒ SP = 100 / 0.68

⇒ SP ≈ 147

Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 147 - 100

Profit = 47

Profit Percent on CP = (Profit / CP) × 100

Profit Percent on CP = (47 / 100) × 100

Profit Percent on CP = 47%

The approximate profit percent on the cost price is 47%.

Given:

Percentage of boys = 40%

Percentage of girls = 60%

Average age of boys = 18 years

Average age of girls = 15 years

Formula Used:

Average age of all students = (Percentage of boys × Average age of boys + Percentage of girls × Average age of girls) / 100

Calculation:

Let total students = 100 (for simplicity)

Number of boys = 40% of 100 = 40

Number of girls = 60% of 100 = 60

Total age of boys = 40 × 18 = 720

Total age of girls = 60 × 15 = 900

Total age of all students = 720 + 900 = 1620

Average age of all students = Total age of all students / Total number of students

⇒ Average age of all students = 1620 / 100

⇒ Average age of all students = 16.2 years

The average age of the students who attended the competition is 16.2 years.
