This problem requires determining the total number of votes based on percentage differences.

Step-by-step solution:

• Let the total number of votes be $x$.
• Since the losing candidate received $35\%$ of the votes, the winning candidate must have received the remaining $(100\% - 35\%) = 65\%$ of the votes.
• The difference in vote share between the two candidates is $65\% - 35\% = 30\%$.
• We are given that this $30\%$ difference corresponds to exactly $36$ votes.
• We can set up the equation: $0.30 \times x = 36$.
• Solving for $x$: $x = 36 \div 0.30 = 120$.

The total number of votes cast was 120.

This problem calculates total distance traveled over a week.

Step-by-step solution:

• The length of one complete round on the circular track is $400$ meters.
• Arun runs $3$ rounds daily. Therefore, his daily distance is $3 \times 400 = 1200$ meters.
• A week consists of $7$ days. His total weekly distance in meters is $1200 \times 7 = 8400$ meters.
• To convert meters to kilometers, divide by $1000$: $8400 \div 1000 = 8.4$ km.

The total distance he covers in a week is 8.4 km.

This is a unitary method problem to determine the quantity of bricks affordable with a set budget.

Step-by-step solution:

• The cost of $1000$ bricks is $2500$ rupees.
• First, find the cost of a single brick: $2500 \div 1000 = 2.5$ rupees per brick.
• Ramesh has a total budget of $4000$ rupees.
• Divide the total budget by the cost of a single brick to find the quantity: $4000 \div 2.5 = 1600$.

Ramesh can afford to buy 1600 bricks.

This problem uses work-rate formulas to find an individual's time to completion.

Step-by-step solution:

• Let the total work be $1$ unit.
• The combined work rate of A and B per day is $1/15$ of the work.
• The work rate of B alone per day is $1/20$ of the work.
• To find the work rate of A alone, subtract B's rate from the combined rate: $1/15 - 1/20$.
• Find a common denominator, which is $60$. The equation becomes $(4/60) - (3/60) = 1/60$.
• This means A can complete $1/60$ of the work in one day.
• Therefore, it will take A a total of $60$ days to complete the entire work alone.

The correct answer is 60 days.

This question requires evaluating a mathematical expression following the standard order of operations.

Step-by-step solution:

• The expression is $8.5 \times (14 \times 1.5 \times 2.5 \times 20) \div 7$.
• First, calculate the values inside the parentheses: multiply $14 \times 1.5 = 21$ and $2.5 \times 20 = 50$.
• Next, multiply these intermediate results together: $21 \times 50 = 1050$.
• Substitute this result back into the main expression: $8.5 \times 1050 \div 7$.
• Perform the division operation next: $1050 \div 7 = 150$.
• Finally, multiply by the remaining decimal: $8.5 \times 150 = 1275$.

The correctly evaluated answer is 1275.

This requires solving the expression by applying BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction).

Step-by-step solution:

• The expression given is: $5 \times 2 + (11 + 8) - 18 \div 9$.
• Resolve the parentheses first: $(11 + 8) = 19$.
• Substitute back into the expression: $5 \times 2 + 19 - 18 \div 9$.
• Next, perform the division: $18 \div 9 = 2$.
• Next, perform the multiplication: $5 \times 2 = 10$.
• Substitute these results back: $10 + 19 - 2$.
• Now, perform addition: $10 + 19 = 29$.
• Finally, subtract the remaining value: $29 - 2 = 27$.

The correctly evaluated answer is 27.

This is a problem based on averages and total sums over a specified time period.

Step-by-step solution:

• The target average savings for the entire year ($12$ months) is $4375$ per month.
• Total target savings for the year = $12 \times 4375 = 52500$.
• The student saves an average of $4000$ per month for the first $3$ months.
• Total savings accumulated in the first $3$ months = $3 \times 4000 = 12000$.
• The remaining amount that needs to be saved over the next $9$ months = $52500 - 12000 = 40500$.
• To find the required average per month for these next $9$ months, divide the remaining amount by $9$: $40500 \div 9 = 4500$.

The student must save an average of 4500 per month.

This problem uses relative speed principles for boats moving along with the current of a stream.

Step-by-step solution:

• The speed of the boat in still water is $12$ km/h, and the speed of the stream is $3$ km/h.
• Downstream speed is the sum of the boat's speed and the stream's speed: $12 + 3 = 15$ km/h.
• The time traveled is $24$ minutes. We must convert this to hours to match the speed unit: $24$ minutes $= 24 / 60$ hours $= 0.4$ hours (or $2/5$ of an hour).
• Distance is calculated by multiplying speed and time: Distance = Speed $\times$ Time.
• Distance = $15 \times 0.4 = 6$ km.

The boat travels a distance of 6 km downstream.

This problem involves analyzing the difference between total sums to isolate a single missing value.

Step-by-step solution:

• We are given the average of $5$ numbers is $38$.
• The sum of these $5$ numbers is calculated by multiplying the average by the count: $5 \times 38 = 190$.
• When one number is excluded, there are $4$ numbers left, and their new average is $36$.
• The sum of these remaining $4$ numbers is: $4 \times 36 = 144$.
• The value of the excluded number is the difference between the original sum and the new sum: $190 - 144 = 46$.

The excluded number is 46.

This problem asks to calculate the Simple Interest using the standard financial formula.

Step-by-step solution:

• The formula for Simple Interest (SI) is: $\text{SI} = (P \times R \times T) \div 100$, where $P$ is principal, $R$ is rate, and $T$ is time in years.
• From the problem, the Principal ($P$) = $2500$, the Rate ($R$) = $6\%$, and the Time ($T$) = $4$ years.
• Substitute the values into the formula: $\text{SI} = (2500 \times 6 \times 4) \div 100$.
• Calculate the numerator: $2500 \times 6 = 15000$. Then $15000 \times 4 = 60000$.
• Divide by $100$: $60000 \div 100 = 600$.
• Alternatively, simplify first: $(2500 \div 100) \times 6 \times 4 = 25 \times 24 = 600$.

The simple interest accumulated is 600.
