The series is
5^3 – 1 = 124
6^3 – 1 = 215
7^3 – 1 = 342
8^3 – 1 = 511
9^3 – 1 = 728
10^3 – 1 = 999
Required answer = 728

h = height of candles
The first candle consumed in 6 hours and the second in 4 hours."
first candle shortens by h/6 each hour
second candle shortens by h/4 each hour
height of first candle after t hours = h - th/6 = h(1 - t/6)
height of second candle after t hours = h - th/4 = h(1 - t/4)
h(1 - t/6) = 2h(1 - t/4)
(1 - t/6) = 2(1 - t/4)
1 - t/6 = 2 - t/2
t/2 - t/6 = 1
6t - 2t = 12
t = 12/4 = 3 hours
8. 2
Required time = LCM of 21, 18, 24 min = 504 mins = 8.4 hrs
9. 1;
1 × 2 × 3 × 4 = 24 numbers, it mean at every place digits
will occur six times.
Sum of one column = 6 ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 60
Hence, sum of all the numbers
= 60 × (100 + 101 + 102 + 103)
= 60 × 1111 = 66660

A's, B's and C's 1 day work = 1/20 + 1/30 + 1/100
Total 3 day's work = 28/300
Total 30 day work = 280/300
Remaining work = 20/300 = 1/15
Now A's 1 day work = 1/20
Then remaining work = (1/60)/(1/30) = 1/2
Now, B's then B complete the remaining work in 1/2
Total number of days = 31 1/2 days.

The first candle consumed in 6 hours and the second in 4 hours."
first candle shortens by h/6 each hour
second candle shortens by h/4 each hour
height of first candle after t hours = h - th/6 = h(1 - t/6)
height of second candle after t hours = h - th/4 = h(1 - t/4)
h(1 - t/6) = 2h(1 - t/4)
(1 - t/6) = 2(1 - t/4)
1 - t/6 = 2 - t/2
t/2 - t/6 = 1
6t - 2t = 12
t = 12/4 = 3 hours
