let the length of rectangle be L units and breadth be B units.

So area of rectangle = L x B

As both length and breadth has been increased by 20%

So new length = 1.2L

New breadth = 1.2B

New area = 1.2L x 1.2B = 1.44LB

Percentage increase in area = $\frac{1.44LB – LB}{LB}$×100 = 44%

Let each vessel contain 28 litres of mixture

=> Total quantity of mixture in 3 containers = 3*28 = 84 litres

=> Total quantity of milk = $(\frac{6}{7} + \frac{5}{7} + \frac{3}{4})$ * 28

= $\frac{24 + 20 + 21}{28}$ * 28 = 65 litres

Now, total quantity of water = 84-65 = 19 litres

=> Required ratio = 65 : 19

Let the 6 consecutive numbers be a-3,a-2,a-1,a,a+1,a+2

average = $\frac{SumofElements}{NumberofElements}$

It is given that average of 6 consecutive numbers be k and hence

k = $\frac{a-3+a-2+a-1+a+a+1+a+2}{6}$ = $\frac{6a-3}{6}$ = a – $\frac{1}{2}$

now next two numbers (a+3, a+4) are also added

Sum of 8 numbers = a-3+a-2+a-1+a+a+1+a+2+a+3+a+4 = 8a +4

average of 8 numbers = $\frac{8a+4}{8}$ = a + $\frac{1}{2}$ = k + 1

so average of 8 numbers is more than average of 6 numbers by = k+1 – K = 1

As incomes of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 2. So , assume incomes of A and B be 3z and 2z respectively

As the expenditure are in the ratio 5:3. So assume expenditure of A and B be 5y and 3y respectively

Now it is given that every one saves Rs 1000

3z – 5y = 1000 ……….(1)

2z – 3y = 1000……….(2)

Solving equations 1 and 2

y = Rs 1000

z = Rs 2000

hence income of A = 3z = 3 x 2000 = Rs 6000

We know that sum of cubes of first n natural numbers is = $(\frac{n(n+1)}{2})^2$

and we are provided with $1^{3} , 2^{3} , 3^{3} , 4^{3} , 5^{3} , 6^{3} , 7^{3}$

number of elements = 7

Sum of the given elements = $(\frac{7(7+1)}{2})^2$ = 784

Mean = $\frac{SumofElements}{NumberofElements}$ = $\frac{784}{7}$ = 112

Arithmetic Mean = $\frac{Sumof Elements}{NumberofElements}$

Sum of first n natural numbers = $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$

Arithmetic Mean of first n natural numbers = $\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times n}$ = $\frac{n+1}{2}$

let the ages of A and B 18 years ago be 8x and 13x

So there present ages will be

A= 8x +18

B = 13x + 18

It is given that ,

$\frac{8x+18}{13x + 18}$ = $\frac{5}{7}$

x = 4

So present age of A = 8x + 18 = 32 +18 = 50 years

As it is mentioned that in a 729 ml mixture of milk and water ,the ratio of Milk : water = 7:2

So amount of milk = $\frac{7}{9}$ x 729 ml = 567 ml

amount of water = $\frac{2}{9}$ x 729 ml = 162 ml

Let the amount of water added be y ml

So it is given that :

=> $\frac{567}{162+y}$ = $\frac{7}{3}$

=> $162 + y = 243$

=> $y$ = 243-162 = 81 ml

let the four numbers be a,b,c,d

Using formula average = $\frac{SumofElements}{NumberofElements}$

Now, the average of first 3 numbers = 16

=> Sum of first 3 numbers=a+b+c = 16 × 3 = 48………. (1)

Also, average of last three numbers = 15

=> Sum of last three numbers = b+c+d = 15 × 3 = 45……(2)

Subtracting equation (2) from (1)

=> a – d = 3

Since, d = 20

=> a – 20 = 3

=> a = 23

let the income be Rs 100

As it is given that he spends 75% of his income so his spending is = Rs 75

Saving =100-75=Rs25

Now his income is increased by 20% .So his new income is = 1.2×100 = 120 Rs

His expenditure increased by 10 % .So his new expenditure is = 1.1x 75 = 82.5 Rs

New savings= 120 – 82.5 = Rs 37.5

Increment in savings = $\frac{37.5-25}{25}$ * 100 = 50% .
