First two digit number divisible by 3 = 12

Last two digit number divisible by 3 = 99

Common difference, (d)=3

99=12+(n−1)3

n=30

sum=30/2(12+99)

=15×111=1665

The single-digit page (From 1 to 9) = 9 digit
Double digit page (From 10 to 99) = 2 × 90 = 180 digit
 Total digit used = 9 + 180 =189
The remaining digit = 1554-189=1365
The number of page with three digits = 1365/3=455
The required number of total page =99+455=554

⇒ Let the average expenditure be ‘x’,
As, 14 people spend Rs. 75 each and 15th person spend Rs. 70 more than the average of all persons

⇒ (14 × 75 + x + 70)/15 = x
⇒ (1050 + x + 70) = 15x
⇒x=80
Total expenditure = 14 × 75 + (80 + 70) = 1200

Sum of 11 consecutive even number is = 24 × 11 = 264

Sn = n/2(2a+(n−1)d)
 
264 = 11/2(2a + 10 × 2)

264 = 11/2(2a + 20)

2a + 20 = 48

a = 14 

highest = 34

Difference = 34 - 14 = 20

15%X = 40%Y 

X/Y = 40/15 = 8/3

X : Y = 8 : 3

25%Y = 30%Z 

Y/Z = 30/25 = 6/5

Y : Z = 6 : 5

X : Y : Z = ( 8x6) : (3 x 6) : (5 x 3)

= 48 : 18 : 15

= 16 : 6 : 5

X-ൻ്റെ ശമ്പളം 80000 രൂപ ആണ് 

16 = 80000

⇒ 1 = 80000/16 = 5000

⇒ 6 = 6 x 5000 = 30000

⇒ 5 = 5 x 500 = 25000

മൂന്നുപേരുടെയും ആകെ ശമ്പളം 

= 80000 + 30000 + 25000

= 135000
