Among the valid votes, Arjun received 40% of the votes, while Bhavesh and Charan received the remaining valid votes in the ratio of 7 : 5, respectively. If Arjun won the election by 1,44,525 votes over Charan, then find the total number of registered voters in the town.

Two inlet pipes A and B can fill a tank in 18 hours and 24 hours, respectively, while an outlet pipe C can empty the full tank in X hours. Initially, all three pipes are opened together. After 8 hours, pipe B is closed, and another 6 hours later, pipe C is also closed. The remaining portion of the tank is then filled by pipe A alone. If the tank gets completely filled in a total of 16 hours, find the value of X.

The ratio between two consecutive natural numbers (in ascending order) is reversed if seven is added to the first number and four is added to the second number. The sum of the two consecutive numbers is _______.

A company produces rectangular advertising boards such that the width is always at least 8 cm shorter than the length, and both the length and width are integers. If the area of a board cannot be more than $320\text{ cm}^2$ and the width is $x$ cm, then find the maximum possible value of $x$.

A businessman purchased some notebooks for ₹960. If he had bought 8 more notebooks for the same amount, the cost of each notebook would have decreased by ₹4. What was the original number of notebooks purchased?

A theatre has 30 rows of seats arranged in such a way that the number of seats in each row forms an arithmetic progression. The first row contains 18 seats, and each successive row has 3 more seats than the previous row.
