Yamini is 8 m South of Beena at (18, -8). Shortest distance between Pinky (0, 5) and Yamini (18, -8) = sqrt((18 - 0)^2 + (-8 - 5)^2) = sqrt(18^2 + (-13)^2) = sqrt(324 + 169) = sqrt(493) ≈ 22.2 m (closest standard integer option is 23 m).

Let the number be 15 (LCM of 3 and 5). Correct value = 15 (5/3) = 25. Incorrect value = 15 (3/5) = 9. Error = 25 - 9 = 16. Percentage error = (16 / 25) * 100 = 64%.

Let x be the number of boys playing all 3 games. Total = N(C) + N(H) + N(F) - [n(C∩H) + n(H∩F) + n(F∩C)] + x. Since n(C∩H) = 20 + x, n(H∩F) = 10 + x, n(F∩C) = 40 + x: 400 = 185 + 165 + 160 - (70 + 3x) + x => 400 = 510 - 70 - 2x => 400 = 440 - 2x => 2x = 40 => x = 20.

Let circle radius be R. Square diagonal = 2R => side = R√2 => Area S = (R√2)^2 = 2R^2. Equilateral triangle side = R√3 => Area T = (√3/4)*(R√3)^2 = (3√3/4) R^2. Thus T/S = (3√3/4) / 2 = 3√3 / 8 => 8T = 3√3 S.

Strike rates (runs/balls * 100): P: (19+56)/(91+154) = 75/245 = 30.61; Q: (5+50)/(12+85) = 55/97 = 56.70; R: (14+61)/(76+99) = 75/175 = 42.86; S: (37+13)/(50+55) = 50/105 = 47.62. Batsman Q has the highest strike rate (56.70) and is the fastest run scorer.

Total N = 20, N/2 = 10. Median class is 60-90: Median A = 60 + ((10 - 9)/7)30 = 60 + 30/7 = 450/7. Modal class is 60-90: Mode B = 60 + ((7 - 5)/(14 - 5 - 4))30 = 60 + (2/5)30 = 72. B - A = 72 - 450/7 = 54/7. Given 7(B - A) = 9C => 7(54/7) = 9C => 54 = 9C => C = 6.

Let total principal be P. Bank amount P1 = (2/3)P at 10% CI for 2 yrs => Net CI rate = 21% => CI = 0.21 (2/3)P = 0.14 P. Post office amount P2 = (1/3)P at 15% SI for 2 yrs => SI = (1/3)P 0.15 * 2 = 0.10 P. Difference = 0.14 P - 0.10 P = 0.04 P. Given 0.04 P = 480 => P = 480 / 0.04 = ₹ 12,000.

A product of integers is divisible by 5 (and thus ends in 0 or 5) if at least one number ends in 0 or 5. Probability of a randomly chosen integer not ending in 0 or 5 is 8/10 = 4/5. Probability that none of the 4 integers ends in 0 or 5 is (4/5)^4 = 256/625. Hence, required probability = 1 - 256/625 = 369/625.
