LCM*HCF = a*b
840*84 = 168*b, b = 420

Answer – b) losses 4% Explanation : let cost price = 100 so, marked price = 120 now discount of 20% is given, so sp = 120*80/100 = 96 so % loss = (4/100)*100 = 4 percent

Let (a + b) = 6k, (b + c) = 7k and (c + a) = 8k.
Then, 2 (a + b + c) = 21k
2 × 14 = 21k
k = 28/21 = 4/3
(a + b) = (6 × 4/3) = 8
c = (a + b + c) - (a + b) = (14 - 8) = 6

Number of notes of Rs. 20 = 12
Number of notes of Rs. 10 = 12/4 = 3
Number of notes of Re. 1 = 7 × 3 = 21
Total amount = 12 × 20 + 3 × 10 + 1 × 21 = 240 + 30 + 21 = Rs. 291

Given: C paid Rs. 1,092.
Let the sum paid by A be Rs. X.
Then, amount paid by B to A = Rs. 1.05X
Amount paid by C to B = 1.04 × 1.05X = Rs. 1,092
 X = Rs. 1,000

7 + 1³ – 1 = 7
7 + 2³ – 2 = 13

According to the given context it is clear that we are talking about a draft of the charter of rights of the patients was shared with the Ministry by the National Human Rights Commission due to the ongoing situation in the country and that draft was discussed in the meeting of the stakeholders.

Coming to the words in the columns, there is only one word from the first column that will fill the blank correctly for the first blank and that is shared whereas from the second column, we can only use discussed among the three given words. Therefore the correct combination would have been AE. No other combination of words would have made the sentence correct both grammatically and contextually.

This makes Option D the correct choice among the given options. 

• Statements I and II are correct.  If it is upto the government, it may use its discretion to make the Institutions comply with their ideologies and rules.

Option D can also be eliminated as the author is not sad or expressing grief but is angry.
Out of options B and C, C is a better choice as the author is not verbally scolding anyone (castigating) but is expressing disapproval and criticizing the heavy handedness of the government regulator in the education sector. Here, option C is a better fit.

Hence, option C is correct.

I has not been mentioned anywhere and is incorrect.

Hence, option B is correct.

• Statement II is opposite of what is needed as this would improve quality in the Institutions. This is incorrect.
• Statements I and III are correct and give valid reasons for the lack of quality.

Hence, option C is correct.
