However any new worker who joins is only 60\% as efficient as any of the 45 people already working. How many new workers did the employer hire to work alongside the initial 45 people to meet the deadline?

If the level of the water in the vessel rises by 6 cm, what is the total surface area (in cm²) of the solid cylinder? (Use $ \pi = \frac{22}{7} $ ) (Assuming no overflow.)

While selling $15$ items, a shopkeeper earned a profit equal to the total cost price of $3$ items. If each item is marked $25\%$ above its actual cost and a discount of $₹2$ is given while selling it, then what is the difference between the total cost price of $20$ items and the total selling price of $12$ items?

The roots of the equation $ x^2 + 18x - 703 = 0 $ are given as $ a $ and $ b $, with $ a > b $. The roots of the equation $ x^2 - 10x - 336 = 0 $ are given as $ c $ and $ d $, with $ c > d $. Which of the options below gives the correct relation between $ a $, $ b $, $ c $, and $ d $?

A sum of $₹7,740$ is divided between X, Y, and Z such that the ratio of the share of X to the combined share of Y and Z is $4 : 11$ and the ratio of the share of Z to the combined share of X and Y is $1 : 3$. What is the share (in Rs.) of Y?

The sum of the cost prices of three items was $₹24,150$. The person sold the first item at a profit of $72\%$, the second item at a profit of $40\%$, and the third item at a profit of $126\%$. The total profit earned from the sale of these three items was $₹13,942$. If the cost price of the second item was $₹175$ more than what it actually was, then the ratio of the cost prices of the second and the third items, respectively, would have been $4 : 5$. What was the difference (in Rs.) between the profits earned from the sale of the first and the second items?
