Speed is calculated by dividing the distance by time. For the car, speed = 240 km / 4 hours = 60 km/hr. To convert km/hr to m/s, multiply by (1000 m/1 km) / (3600 s/1 hour). So, 60 km/hr = 60 × (1000/3600) = 16.67 m/s.

Write 0.125 as 125/1000. Simplify by dividing both numerator and denominator by 125: 125 ÷ 125 = 1 and 1000 ÷ 125 = 8. Thus, 0.125 = 1/8.

The radius of the garden is 14/2 = 7 m. The area of the circle is πr² = 3.14 × 7² = 153.86 m². The circumference is 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 7 = 43.96 m.

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as 2(length + breadth). For the given rectangle, perimeter = 2(10 + 6) = 32 cm. The area of a rectangle is length × breadth. Therefore, area = 10 × 6 = 60 cm².

Substitute x with 4: x² + 3x - 5 becomes 4² + 3×4 - 5, which simplifies to 16 + 12 - 5 = 23.

The time needed to fill the tank is calculated by dividing the tank's total capacity by the fill rate: 500 liters / 25 liters/min = 20 minutes.

The total amount collected is 150 students × Rs. 50 = Rs. 7,500. The required additional amount to reach the target of Rs. 10,000 is Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 7,500 = Rs. 2,500.

Total selling price = 50 pens × Rs. 12 = Rs. 600. Total cost price = 50 pens × Rs. 10 = Rs. 500. Total profit = Rs. 600 - Rs. 500 = Rs. 100. Profit percentage = (Profit / Total cost price) × 100 = (100/500) × 100 = 20%.

Expand the equation: 5x - 15 = 2x + 6. Rearrange to get all x terms on one side: 5x - 2x = 6 + 15. Simplify to 3x = 21, giving x = 21/3 = 7.

Let the three consecutive integers be x, x+1, and x+2. Their sum is x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 3x + 3 = 75. Solving 3x + 3 = 75 gives 3x = 72, thus x = 24. Therefore, the integers are 24, 25, and 26.
