The first letter is not change remaining letters are written in reverse order.

Let the total number of pages in the book be ‘n’.
Let page number ‘x’ be repeated.

⇒ x + n(n+1) /2 = 850
So,  n(n+1)/2 ≤ 850
⇒ n² + n ≤ 1700
The greatest possible value of n = 40.
Now, for n = 40,  n(n+1)/2 = 40×41/2 = 820
So, x = 30.

Let Shalini buy at Rs.100 and sells to Rahul at Rs.140. Rahul sells to Sam at 20% loss, therefore at Rs.112. If Rahul had bought it directly, then his profit would have been (112-100) = 12%

In this series, 1 is added to the first number, 2 is added to the second number, 3 is added to the third number and so on.
101 + 1 = 102
102 + 2 = 104
104 + 3 = 107
107 + 4 = 111
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Getting both blue 5/12 * 4/11 = 5/33

This is a Geometric Progression with 3 as the common ratio.
The next term = 162 × 3 = 486
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

Let profit% be x
Profit = SP-CP
Given, CP/SP=10/11
⇒ SP/CP=11/10
profit%= Profit/CP x 100
Profit% = (SP-CP)/CP×100=(SP/CP-1)×100
x = (11/10-1)×100
x = 1/10×100=10%

No. of erasers is 50 Therefore no. of Pencils should twice of it, that is 100 Hence 8 more are required.

Palak is 34^th from left. And there are 74 girls in the row. Palak’s rank from right is (74 – 34 + 1) = 41

Here, 98-99 = -1 
100-101 = -1 
102-103 = -1 
And, so on
Therefore, total term of -1 will be 1000/2=500
So, the value of expression = 500×-1= -500.
