The strength of an indigo solution in percentage is equal to the amount of indigo in grams per $100 \mathrm{cc}$ of water. Two $800 \mathrm{cc}$ bottles are filled with indigo solutions of strengths $33 \%$ and $17 \%$, respectively. A part of the solution from the first bottle is thrown away and replaced by an equal volume of the solution from the second bottle. If the strength of the indigo solution in the first bottle has now changed to $21 \%$ then the volume, in cc, of the solution left in the second bottle is

How many three-digit numbers are greater than $100$ and increase by $198$ when the three digits are arranged in the reverse order?

The amount Neeta and Geeta together earn in a day equals what Sita alone earns in 6 days. The amount Sita and Neeta together earn in a day equals what Geeta alone earns in 2 days. The ratio of the daily earnings of the one who earns the most to that of the one who earns the least is

Anu works only on alternate days starting from the first day while Manu works only on alternate days starting from the second day. Then, the number of days needed to complete the work is

If $\mathrm{x}_{0}=1, \mathrm{x}_{1}=2$, and $\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}+2}=\frac{1+x_{n+1}}{x_{n}}, n=0,1,2,3 \ldots \ldots$., then $x_{2021}$ is

If $5-\log _{10} \sqrt{1+x}+4 \log _{10} \sqrt{1-x}=\log _{10} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}$,then $100 \mathrm{x}$ equals

Suppose hospital $A$ admitted $21$ less Covid infected patients than hospital $B$, and all eventually recovered. The sum of recovery days for patients in hospitals $A$ and $B$ were $200$ and $152$, respectively. If the average recovery days for patients admitted in hospital $A$ was $3$ more than the average in hospital $B$ then the number admitted in hospital $A$ was
