What percentage of houses do not have tubelight, bulb and fan?

Answer:

42% houses do not have tubelight, bulb and fan.

Let's assume that there are 100 houses. Hence, there should be total 300 items i.e. 100 tubelights, 100 bulbs and 100 fans.

From the given data, we know that there is shortage of atleast (67+83+73) 223 items in every 100 houses.

Also, exactly 19 houses do not have just one item. It means that remaining 81 houses should account for the shortage of remaining (223-19) 204 items. If those remaining 81 houses do not have 2 items each, there would be a shortage of 162 items. But total of 204 items are short. Hence, atleast (204-162) 42 houses do not have all 3 items - tubelight, bulb and fan.

Thus, 42% houses do not have tubelight, bulb and fan.
Mr. Subramaniam rents a private car for Andheri-Colaba-Andheri trip. It costs him Rs. 300 everyday.

One day the car driver informed Mr. Subramaniam that there were two students from Bandra who wished to go from Bandra to Colaba and back to Bandra. Bandra is halfway between Andheri and Colaba. Mr. Subramaniam asked the driver to let the students travel with him.

On the first day when they came, Mr. Subramaniam said, "If you tell me the mathematically correct price you should pay individually for your portion of the trip, I will let you travel for free."

How much should the individual student pay for their journey?
Answer

The individual student should pay Rs. 50 for their journey.

Note that 3 persons are travelling between Bandra and Colaba.

The entire trip costs Rs. 300 to Mr. Subramanian. Hence, half of the trip costs Rs. 150.

For Andheri-Bandra-Andheri, only one person i.e. Mr. Subramaniam is travelling. Hence, he would pay Rs. 150.

For Bandra-Colaba-Bandra, three persons i.e Mr. Subramaniam and two students, are travelling. Hence, each student would pay Rs. 50.
