Given:

6% of √(3x) = 0.18

Concept:

Concept of percentage. It is calculated on the basis of 100

For example x% means x out of 100

Calculation:

According to the question,

⇒ 6% of √(3x) = 0.18

⇒ (6/100) × √(3x) = 18/100

⇒ √(3x) = 3

⇒ 3x = 3²

⇒ 3x = 9

⇒ x = 3

∴ Required value of x is 3.

Let CP of the article be Rs. 100

⇒ SP of the article = 100 × 180/100 = Rs. 180

New cost price = 100 × 120/100 = Rs. 120

⇒ New profit = 180 – 120 = 60

Profit percentage = 60/120 × 100 = 50%

From the given information,

His (man) brother's father is the only son of my (woman) grandfather. Thus the family tree is given below,

Hence, the woman is the sister of the man.

The logic followed is:

All the other options except option (3), the the number given are prime number whereas option 3 is a perfect cube. 

Option 1: 47

It is a prime number.

Option 2: 17

It is a prime number.

Option 3: 27

It is a perfect cube of 3.

Option 4: 37

It is a prime number..

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Hence, the above image is the correct answer.

From the common explanation, we get Sona sits opposite Bobby.

Hence, Option E is correct.

Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:

References:

Eight students Kirti, Ayushi, Manu, Sona, Aarti, Bobby, Ankita and Divya are sitting around the square table.

Four students sit on each side while rest on each corner.

Students at the side face away from the centre and students at the corner faces towards the centre.

Inferences:

So, we need to arrange as follows to accommodate the information as stated in the question,

References:

Divya sits third to the left of Ayushi.

Kirti sits opposite to Manu and both faces away from the centre.

Inferences:

From the above references, we get the following two different cases:

Case 1:

Case 2:

References:

Neither Kirti nor Manu are beside Ayushi.

Sona sits immediate left of Ankita, who sits on the side of the table.

Bobby is not an immediate right of Ayushi.

Bobby is not adjacent to Manu.

Inferences:

So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as neither Kirti nor Manu are beside Ayushi.

Now, from case 1 we get the following final arrangements:

The distance covered in the various phases of his travel would be:
10 km + 25 km + 50 km + 60 km. Thus the total distance covered = 145 km in 2 hours 50 minutes
Æ
145 km in 2.8333 hours Æ 51.18 kmph

Diagonal of a room = √(l² + b² + h²)
So the answer = √(20² + 10² + 20²) = √900 = 30 meters
Hence, Option B is correct.

Initial area = L × B

New area = (100 + 20)% of L × (100 – 12.50)% of B = 1.05L × B

Hence, Option A is correct.

Hence, Option A is correct.
