Correct Answer: 20

The sum of the numbers is 8 + 13 + 25 + 43 + 11 = 100. There are 5 numbers, so the average is 100 / 5 = 20.

Correct Answer: 27

Let numbers be x, x+2, x+4, x+6. Sum = 4x + 12 = 96. Thus 4x = 84, so x = 21. Largest = 21 + 6 = 27.

Correct Answer: 16

First find √64 = 8. Then evaluate √(248 + 8) = √256 = 16.

Correct Answer: 210

1140.3 ÷ 5.43 = (11403/10) ÷ (543/100) = (11403/10) × (100/543) = 21 × 10 = 210.

Correct Answer: 4 days

Combined rate = 1/5 + 1/20 = 4/20 + 1/20 = 5/20 = 1/4. Together they finish it in 4 days.

Correct Answer: 30 days

Let Babar's rate be 1/x. 1/60 + 1/x = 1/20. Solving gives 1/x = 1/20 - 1/60 = 2/60 = 1/30. So, Babar takes 30 days.

Correct Answer: 63

Total ratio units = 7 + 9 = 16. The value of 1 unit = 112 / 16 = 7. The larger number is 9 * 7 = 63.

Correct Answer: 36

Sum of numbers = 30 * 3 = 90. Total units = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15. One unit = 90 / 15 = 6. Largest number = 6 * 6 = 36.

Correct Answer: 20%

Cost Price of 1 = 5/3 = Rs. 1.66. Selling Price of 1 = 4/2 = Rs. 2. Profit = SP - CP = 0.33. Profit % = (0.33 / 1.66) * 100 = 20%.

Correct Answer: Rs. 200

Let CP = x. x + 0.10x = 220. Thus, 1.1x = 220, so x = 200.

Correct Answer: 11.54%

Total Cost = 4700 + 500 = 5200. Profit = 5800 - 5200 = 600. Gain % = (600 / 5200) * 100 = 11.538%.
