Solution

Let the principal be P. It becomes 3P in 5 years. So, interest earned = 3P - P = 2P in 5 years. If it becomes 7 times, interest earned = 7P - P = 6P. Since simple interest is proportional to time for a fixed rate, if 2P interest is earned in 5 years, then 6P interest (which is 3 times 2P) will be earned in 3 * 5 = 15 years. Total time = 15 years to accrue 6P interest. However, the question asks when it becomes 7 times (i.e. interest earned is 6P). So, 2P interest takes 5 years. 1P interest takes 5/2 years. 6P interest takes (5/2) * 6 = 15 years. Thus, it will become 7 times in 15 years.

Solution

The pattern followed is adding 1 to each letter in the word. P+1=Q, L+1=M, A+1=B, N+1=O, T+1=U. Applying the same pattern to TRAIN: T+1=U, R+1=S, A+1=B, I+1=J, N+1=O. So, TRAIN becomes USBJO.

Solution

Let the quantity of milk be 5x and water be 3x. When 8 litres of water are added, the new ratio is Milk : Water = 5x : (3x+8) = 1:1. So, 5x = 3x + 8. This means 2x = 8, so x = 4. The quantity of milk = 5x = 5 * 4 = 20 liters. (Error in calculation/explanation, recheck needed. Corrected calculation: Oh, the mistake is in my head. 5x = 3x+8, implies 2x=8, x=4. Milk is 5x = 20. Yes, option 1 is 20 liters. Let me correct the answer. Milk quantity becomes 5x = 5*4 = 20 litres.) Corrected: Let the initial quantity of milk be 5x and water be 3x. After adding 8 liters of water, the quantity of water becomes (3x + 8). The new ratio is 5x : (3x + 8) = 1:1. This means 5x = 3x + 8. 2x = 8, so x = 4. The quantity of milk in the mixture is 5x = 5 * 4 = 20 liters.

Solution

The error is in "She cooks wonderful". 'Wonderful' is an adjective, but we need an adverb to modify the verb 'cooks'. The correct word should be 'wonderfully'. So, the corrected sentence would be "She cooks wonderfully, and her dishes are always a hit."

Ex-situ conservation involves the conservation of biological diversity components outside their natural habitats.

Solution

Let the cost price (CP) be ₹100. Marked price (MP) = CP + 20% of CP = 100 + 20 = ₹120. Discount = 10% of MP = 10% of 120 = ₹12. Selling price (SP) = MP - Discount = 120 - 12 = ₹108. Profit = SP - CP = 108 - 100 = ₹8. Profit percentage = (Profit/CP) * 100 = (8/100) * 100 = 8%.
