Study the following table and answer the question given below:
| Name of the Company | Sale (in lakhs) | ||
| 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | |
| ACG | 32 | 43 | 35 |
| TYD | 61 | 52 | 29 |
| POD | 54 | 25 | 36 |
| BKN | 19 | 38 | 52 |
Which company has the highest total sale value over the three years? What is the difference between the value of the highest combined sales and the lowest combined sales registered by any company from 1999 to 2001?
BKN, Rs 27,00,000
TYD, Rs 27,00,000
TYD, Rs 33,00,000
BKN, Rs 33,00,000
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total sales for each company over the three years (1999, 2000, and 2001). Then, we will identify the company with the highest total sales. After that, we will find the company with the lowest total sales. Finally, we will calculate the difference between the highest and lowest combined sales.
Comparing the total sales:
The highest total sales are 142 lakhs, which belongs to company TYD.
From the above comparison, the lowest total sales are 109 lakhs, which belongs to company BKN.
Since 1 lakh = 100,000, 33 lakhs = Rs 33,00,000.
Therefore, the company with the highest total sale value is TYD, and the difference between the highest combined sales and the lowest combined sales is Rs 33,00,000.
C) TYD, Rs 33,00,000

The ratio of the lengths of two corresponding sides of two similar triangles is 2 : 1. The ratio of the areas of these two triangles, in the order mentioned, is:
This problem involves the properties of similar triangles. A fundamental theorem states that the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
C) 4 : 1 is the correct ratio of the areas, as derived from squaring the ratio of the corresponding sides.
The question asks to identify the Governor General of India who introduced the 'Doctrine of Lapse'. This requires knowledge of key British policies in India and the administrators associated with them.
Correct Option: B) Lord Dalhousie — He was the Governor General of India from 1848 to 1856 and is widely credited with devising and extensively applying the Doctrine of Lapse, which led to the annexation of many Indian states.
To find the gain percentage, we first need to calculate the total cost price (CP) and the total selling price (SP). The gain is the difference between SP and CP, and the gain percentage is calculated by dividing the gain by the CP and multiplying by 100.
The shopkeeper purchased 70 kg of onions for Rs 560.
\[ \text{Total CP} = \text{Rs } 560 \]The shopkeeper sold the whole lot (70 kg) at the rate of Rs 10 per kg.
\[ \text{Total SP} = \text{Quantity} \times \text{Selling Price per kg} \]\[ \text{Total SP} = 70 \text{ kg} \times \text{Rs } 10/\text{kg} \]\[ \text{Total SP} = \text{Rs } 700 \]Gain is the difference between the Total SP and Total CP.
\[ \text{Gain} = \text{Total SP} - \text{Total CP} \]\[ \text{Gain} = \text{Rs } 700 - \text{Rs } 560 \]\[ \text{Gain} = \text{Rs } 140 \]The gain percentage is calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Total CP}} \right) \times 100 \]\[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{140}{560} \right) \times 100 \]\[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{1}{4} \right) \times 100 \]\[ \text{Gain Percentage} = 25\% \]Correct Option: C) 25 %
This problem involves compound interest. We are given the final amount, the rate of interest, and the time period. We need to find the principal amount (the sum of money deposited). The formula for the amount under compound interest is \(A = P(1 + \frac{R}{100})^N\), where \(A\) is the amount, \(P\) is the principal, \(R\) is the rate of interest, and \(N\) is the number of years.
\[ A = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^N \]
\[ 35271.94 = P \left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^3 \]
\[ 35271.94 = P \left(1 + 0.08\right)^3 \]\[ 35271.94 = P \left(1.08\right)^3 \]
\[ (1.08)^3 = 1.08 \times 1.08 \times 1.08 \]\[ (1.08)^3 = 1.1664 \times 1.08 \]\[ (1.08)^3 = 1.259712 \]
\[ 35271.94 = P \times 1.259712 \]
\[ P = \frac{35271.94}{1.259712} \]\[ P = 28000 \]
B) 28,000 — The calculated principal amount is Rs 28,000, which matches this option.
This is a linear arrangement puzzle. We need to deduce the seating arrangement of six people (S, T, V, W, X, Y) in a straight line, all facing North, based on the given clues. We will build the arrangement step-by-step, eliminating possibilities as we go.
Clue 1: Only two people sit to the right of S.
Since there are six people and they are facing North, "right" means towards the end of the line. This means S is in the 4th position from the left.
_ _ _ S _ _
Clue 2: Only two people sit between W and S.
Given S is at position 4, W can be either at position 1 (left of S) or position 7 (right of S). Since there are only 6 people, W must be at position 1.
W _ _ S _ _
Clue 3: V sits at one of the extreme ends.
The extreme ends are position 1 and position 6. Since W is already at position 1, V must be at position 6.
W _ _ S _ V
Clue 4: Y sits to the immediate left of V.
Since V is at position 6, Y must be at position 5.
W _ _ S Y V
Now, let's fill in the remaining positions. The people are S, T, V, W, X, Y. We have placed S, V, W, Y. The remaining people are T and X. The remaining positions are 2 and 3.
W (T/X) (T/X) S Y V
Clue 5: T is not an immediate neighbour of S.
S is at position 4. Its immediate neighbours are positions 3 and 5. Y is already at position 5. So, T cannot be at position 3. This means X must be at position 3, and T must be at position 2.
W T X S Y V
The final arrangement from left to right is: W T X S Y V.
The question asks: Who is sitting at the extreme left end?
From our final arrangement, W is at the extreme left end (position 1).
Correct Option: A) W is sitting at the extreme left end.
