To find the final selling price, we need to apply each discount successively to the current price. First, apply the two successive discounts to the marked price. Then, apply the additional cash payment discount to the price obtained after the first two discounts.
This discount is applied to the price after the first discount.
\[ \text{Price after 25% discount} = 448 \times \left(1 - \frac{25}{100}\right) \] \[ = 448 \times \left(\frac{75}{100}\right) = 448 \times 0.75 = \text{Rs. } 336 \]This additional 25% discount is applied to the price after the first two discounts.
\[ \text{Selling Price (on cash payment)} = 336 \times \left(1 - \frac{25}{100}\right) \] \[ = 336 \times \left(\frac{75}{100}\right) = 336 \times 0.75 = \text{Rs. } 252 \]B) 252
The problem presents a series of letter-number clusters. To find the next cluster, we need to identify the pattern in the letters and the numbers separately.
D (4), G (7), J (10), M (13)
The pattern is an increment of 3 in the alphabetical position:
Following this pattern, the next first letter will be M + 3 = P (16).
K (11), N (14), Q (17), T (20)
The pattern is also an increment of 3 in the alphabetical position:
Following this pattern, the next second letter will be T + 3 = W (23).
26, 33, 40, 47
The pattern is an increment of 7:
Following this pattern, the next number will be \(47 + 7 = 54\).
The next cluster will be PW54.
B) PW54 is the correct option because it follows all three identified patterns for the first letter, second letter, and the number.
To find the missing number in the series, we need to identify the pattern or the rule governing the sequence of numbers. We will examine the differences between consecutive terms.
The differences between consecutive terms follow a repeating pattern: \(+9, +23, +9, +23, +9, \dots\)
Since the last difference was \(+9\), the next difference in the series should be \(+23\).
Therefore, the next term will be \(119 + 23\).
\[ 119 + 23 = 142 \]B) 142 is the correct answer because it follows the established pattern of alternating differences (\(+9, +23\)).
The question asks to identify the global observance marked by UNESCO on 24 January 2025. This requires knowledge of significant international days and their dates, particularly those associated with UNESCO.

This region is highly susceptible to such natural disasters due to its challenging mountainous terrain and heavy snowfall.
To solve this problem, we will track Rohan's movements step-by-step, noting his displacement in the North-South and East-West directions. We will then find his final position relative to the starting point A and determine the shortest distance and direction needed to return to A.
B) 2 km to the west
As calculated, Rohan is at a position 2 km east of point A. To return to point A, he must drive 2 km towards the west.
