Man’s rate upstream=16/5 km/hr
Man’s rate downstream=27/5 km/hr
Velocity of the current=1/2 (27/5-16/5) km/hr=1.1 km/hr
Rate downstream=(2/15 *60) km/hr=8 km/hr
Rate upstream=5 km/hr
Velocity of the current=1/2 (8-5) km/hr=1.5 km/hr
Rate downstream=1/10 *60 = 6 km/hr
Rate upstream=1/30 *60 = 2 km/hr
Velocity of the stream=1/2 (6-2) = 2 km/hr
Rate upstream=3/4 * 4/45 * 60=4 km/hr
Rate downstream=3/4 * 2/15 * 60=6 km/hr
Speed of the man in still water (6+4)/2=5 km/hr
Speed of the stream=(6-4) ½=1 km/hr
D=60/6 =10 km/hr
U=60/10=6 km/hr
Y= 1/2 (10-6)=2 km/hr
The ratio of royalties to sales for the first Rs. 20 million in sales is 3/20, and the ratio of royalties to sales for the next Rs. 108 million in sales is 9/108=1/12. The percent decrease in the royalties to sales ratios is 
{ [(1/12) – (3/20)] / (3/20) } × 100 = [(1/12) – (3/20)] × (20/3) × 100
= [ (5-9) / 60 ] × (20/3) × 100
 = (-4/60) × (20/3) × 100 = (-4/60) × (20/3) × 100 = (-4/9) × 100
= -0.4444 × 100 = -44.44
= 44.44% decrease
Let the population of the city be 100. Then,
People reading Jan Jagran=25
People reading Jan Khabar=20
People reading both=8
People reading only Jan Jagran=17
People reading only Jan Khabar=12
Therefore, required percentage of people who read an advertisement=(5.1+4.8+4)=13.9%.
Let the number of people in my office=100
At least 50 people read an e-newspaper.
At most 12.5 people read more than one e-newspaper.
Therefore, at least 37.5 people read only one e-newspaper. 
Hence, at least 37.5% read exactly one e-newspaper.
Let the total number of students be y. Then,
Number of boys=3y/5
Number of girls=2y/5
Number of girls scoring more than 40 marks=4/5×2y/5=8y/25
Total number of students scoring more than 40 marks=3y/5
∴ Required fraction =7/25×5/3=7/15
Hence, the fraction of the boys who scored 40 marks or less is 7/15.
Let the total number of respondents=100
People favoured IAC=60
People favoured IPP=40
New no. of people favouring IAC = 60+4-6 = 58
New no. of people favouring IPP = 40+6-4 = 42
Required percentage= (58-50)*100/58=14%Approx
