To find the annual interest rate, observe the given interest amounts over different time frames. The amount increases from Rs. 990 to Rs. 1125 over 1.5 years. The interest for this period is Rs. 1125 - Rs. 990 = Rs. 135. Calculate the principal (P) using simple interest formula Rs. 990 = P(1 + 3r), then Rs. 1125 = P(1 + 4.5r). Solving these equations simultaneously gives the interest rate. The calculations show the rate is 12.5% per annum .

To determine the length of the platform, compute the train's length using the time with the walking man: train speed + man's speed = 42 km/hr (in m/s), and multiply by 15 s to get train length. Use this with the 30 s time to cross the platform: total distance = train length + platform length, solved by subtracting train length from the distance covered in 30 seconds. This calculation verifies the platform length as 125 meters .

Given the original salary ratio as 4:10:25 for A, B, and C, and percentage increments of 30%, 15%, and 25% respectively, the calculation involves multiplying the original ratios by their respective increments to find the new salary figures. Calculate as follows: new A = 4 * 1.30, new B = 10 * 1.15, new C = 25 * 1.25. Then, find the new ratio by simplifying these figures: (4*1.30):(10*1.15):(25*1.25), which simplifies to the ratio 104:230:625 .

To find the difference between the cost price of one cow and one horse, consider the total purchase price of Rs. 66000 for 5 cows and 2 horses. The total profit is Rs. 9100, with cows sold at a 15% profit and horses at a 10% profit. Let the cost price of a cow be 'x' and that of a horse be 'y'. The equation 5x + 2y = 66000 represents the initial cost, and the profits lead to the linear system 0.15*5x + 0.10*2y = 9100. Solving this system will reveal the individual cost prices, and thus the difference between 'x' and 'y' .

First, calculate the percentage of valid votes. With 70% of total votes polled and 4% invalid, valid votes are 0.70 * 0.96 = 67.2% of total enrolled votes. The winner's 12600 votes are 60% of these valid votes. Setting up the equation 0.60V = 12600 gives V = total valid votes. Dividing this by 0.672 gives the total number of voters who cast their votes, which is 21875 voters .

To determine the minimum passing marks, set equations based on students' scores. If a student fails with 15% score, missing by 70 marks, and another scores 45% exceeding by 50 marks, establish that 0.45 * total marks = minimum + 50 and 0.15 * total marks = minimum - 70. Solving these two equations - ensuring the continuation - reveals the minimum passing score as 130 marks .

To simplify the expression 61/3 + (55 * 6/21 * 3 - 21 * 302) + 131/2, address operations in hierarchical order. Follow BODMAS/BIDMAS rules: calculate multiplications and divisions inside parentheses first, adjust signs, then proceed with outside operations. Operating each segment ensures simplified cohesion to the ultimate fractional outcome, recognized as 45/6 .

To find the speed of the man in still water, you can set up simultaneous equations based on his rowing times. Let the speed in still water be 'x' km/hr and the speed of the stream be 'y' km/hr. The equations (32/(x-y) + 48/(x+y) = 14) and (24/(x-y) + 40/(x+y) = 11) can be set up, based on the given times and distances. Solving these equations using substitution or elimination will yield the man's speed in still water .

To find one possible number when given HCF = 17 and LCM = 1309, use the relation HCF * LCM = product of numbers. Consider that 1309 / 17 gives relevant factors or dividers. Testing viable forms among given options, 119 fits because 17 remains a factor throughout verification complying with given criteria without additional scrapping .

In analyzing family relationships, determine B's relation to Q by mapping the family structure. Given that P is T's father, Q is R's mother, and others are connected as siblings or cousins, B is the grandson of Q through the inference that A is the cousin of R and B, which places him a generation down from Q .
