Given:
6 × {6 of ( 6+ 6)} ÷ {( 6 ÷ 6) × ( 600 % of 6)}
Formula used:

CALCULATION :
⇒ 6 × {6 of ( 6 + 6 ) } ÷ { ( 6 ÷ 6 ) × ( 600 % of 6 ) }
⇒ 6 × { 6 of 12} ÷ {1 × 36}
⇒ 6 × 72 ÷ 36
⇒ 6× 2 = 12.
∴ The correct answer is 12.

Calculations:

5y - 8x = 7(x + y) - 9

⇒ 5y - 8x = 7x + 7y - 9

⇒ 7x + 8x + 7y - 5y - 9 = 0

⇒ 15x + 2y - 9 = 0

Hence, The Correct option is 2.

Given:

Time taken to empty a full tank by Pipe A = 36 min

Time taken to empty a full tank by Pipe B = 45 min

Time taken to fill the tank by Pipe C = 15 min

B and C opened together = 15 min

Formula used:

Work = Efficiency × Time

Calculation:

LCM of 36, 45 and 15 is 180

Efficiency of A = 180/36 = 5 units/min

Efficiency of B = 180/45 = 4 units/min

Efficiency of C = 180/15 = 12 units/min

Efficiency of B and C together = (12 – 4) = 8 units/min

B and C opened for 15 min = (8 × 15) units

⇒ 120 units

Now,

Pipe A will empty the tank = (120/5) mins

⇒ 24 mins

∴ Required time is 24 mins

Given:

Principal = Rs. 2000

Rate = 10%

Time = 2 years

Formula used:

SI = (P × R × T)/100

CI = [P(1 + R/100)n – P]

Calculation:

According to the question

SI = Rs. (2000 × 10 × 2)/100

⇒ Rs. 400

CI = [2000 (1 + 10/100)² – 2000]

⇒ Rs. [(2000 × 11/10 × 11/10) – 2000]

⇒ Rs. (2420 – 2000)

⇒ Rs. 420

Difference between CI and SI = Rs. (420 – 400)

⇒ Rs. 20

∴ The required difference is Rs. 20

Given:
ΔABC ∼ ΔPQR
The perimeter ΔABC = 64 cm
The perimeter ΔPQR = 56 cm
AB = 16 cm
Concept :
The ratio of the perimeter of 2 similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides.

Perimeter of ΔABC/Perimeter of ΔPQR = (AB/PQ) = (BC/QR) = (AC/PR)
Calculation:
ΔABC and ΔPQR are similar so
AB/PQ = (Perimeter of Δ ABC)/(Perimeter of Δ PQR)
16/PQ = 64/56
PQ = 14 cm
∴ Option 3 is the correct answer.

Given:
Two numbers are in the ratio = 5 : 8
The product of HCF and LCM of the numbers is 6760
Formula used:
The product of HCF and LCM of two numbers is equal to the product of the two numbers
Calculation:
Let the numbers be 5x and 8x
According to the question:
5x. 8x = 6760
⇒ x² = 169
⇒ x = 13

Hence the numbers are (5 × 13 = 65) and (8 × 13 = 104)
∴ Sum of the numbers = 65 + 104 = 169

Given numbers are 36, 72 and 126

⇒ 36 = 2² × 3²

⇒ 72 = 2³ × 3²

⇒ 126 = 2 × 3² × 7

Given:

Number of work completed by Jeevan = 6 days

Number of work completed by Jyoti = 8 days

He decided to the same thing = Rs. 3200

Number of work completed with the help of Panu = 3 days

Formula used:

Work = Efficiency × Time

Calculation:

LCM of 6, 8 and 3 is 24

Efficiency of Jeevan = (24/6) = 4 units/day

Efficiency of Jyoti = (24/8) = 3 units/day

Efficiency of Jeevan, Jyoti and Panu = (24/3) = 8 units/day

Now,

Efficiency of Panu = [8 – (4 + 3)] units/day

⇒ 1 unit/day

According to the question

⇒ 8 units = 3200

⇒ 1 unit = (3200/8)

⇒ 400

Now,

Panu earned =Rs. (1 × 400)

⇒ Rs. 400

∴ Required amount earned by Panu is Rs. 400

Given:

Selling price of a glass = 1965

Loss percentage = 25%

Formula used:

∵ Selling price = Cost price – loss

Calculation:

⇒ 1965 = CP – 25% of CP

⇒ 1965 = CP – 1/4 × CP

⇒ 1965 = 3/4 × CP

⇒ CP = 1965 × 4/3 = Rs. 2620

Now, when selling price = Rs. 3013

Profit = 3013 – 2620 = Rs. 393

∴ Profit percentage = 393/2620 × 100 = 15%

Although "a better player than me" is frequently used in casual conversation, it is less formal and not ideal for written contexts.

Details on Other Options:

• B: This option is incorrect because "the better player to me" does not follow the standard comparative structure and is grammatically awkward in this context.
• C: While "a better player than me" is common in informal settings, it is less appropriate in formal writing compared to "than I," making it less suitable for this context.
• D: Selecting "No Improvement" is incorrect, as the original phrase does require a grammatical adjustment to achieve correctness.

Details on Other Options:

• B: The term 'crowd' refers to a general assembly of people but does not specifically denote a group of thieves, making it an inappropriate choice in this context.
• C: 'Group' is a vague term that can apply to various collections of individuals, such as dancers or singers, but lacks the specific connotation of criminality associated with thieves.
