The scale records 90 cm as 100 cm, showing a 10 cm gain on 90 cm actually measured, which is a gain of (10 / 90) * 100% = 11.11% net profit .

Let the total salary be x. After 20% reduction for rent, x becomes 0.8x. From that, 10% on education yields 0.9 * 0.8x = 0.72x, then 20% on movies makes it 0.8 * 0.72x = 0.576x, leaving 0.576x = 5760 (savings). Solving for x, Roja's total salary is Rs. 10,000 .

To determine the total population, we start by finding the total number of children. Since 10% of the children are female and there are 90 female children, the total number of children is 900 (since 90 is 10% of 900). Children constitute 18% of the total population. Therefore, the total population is 900 / 0.18 = 5000 .

The population growth can be calculated using compound interest formula as 10,000 * (1 + 0.2)^2 = 14400 .

Last year's salary was Rs. 6720 / 1.12 = Rs. 6000. If next year Arnav's salary increases by 20% over last year’s salary of Rs. 6000, it will be Rs. 6000 * 1.20 = Rs. 7200 .

If the first candidate got 60% of the votes, the second received 40%. Let the total votes be x. Thus, 0.4x = 280, solving for x gives total votes polled as 700 .

The candidate scored 30% of maximum marks. If 30 more marks were needed to pass, the total marks required for passing is 60% of maximum marks. Let x be the total max marks. Then, x * 0.3 + 30 = 0.6 * x. Solving for x gives 60x = 4500, so x = 450 .

B's marks as a percentage of A's marks are calculated as (60 / 80) * 100% = 75% .

There are 300 boys, and 120 play hockey. Girls play only badminton; therefore 75% of 200 girls, 150 play badminton. Thus, students playing games are 120 (hockey) + 150 (badminton) = 270. Therefore, 500 - 270 = 230 students play neither game .

The family needs to find the new consumption level that equates to the original expenditure. If the price increases by 25%, the new price is 125% of the old price. To keep the expenditure the same, the consumption rate must be reduced to 1 / 1.25 of the original, which is 80%. So, they must reduce consumption by 20% .
