Step 1: Find the efficiency ratio
Work = 12 Children $\times$ 16 days = 8 Adults $\times$ 12 days.
192 Children = 96 Adults, simplifying to 1 Adult = 2 Children.

Step 2: Calculate total work
Total work in terms of adults = $8 \times 12 = 96$ Adult-days.

Step 3: Calculate remaining work
16 adults work for 3 days = $16 \times 3 = 48$ Adult-days completed.
Remaining work = $96 - 48 = 48$ Adult-days.

Step 4: Calculate new workforce
16 Adults - 10 Adults + 4 Children = 6 Adults + 2 Adults (since 4C = 2A) = 8 Adults.

Step 5: Calculate days
Remaining days = $\frac{48}{8} = 6$ days.

Step 1: Convert time
Total time = 5 hours 48 minutes = $5 + \frac{48}{60} = 5.8$ hours = $\frac{29}{5}$ hours.

Step 2: Calculate average speed
Average Speed = $\frac{2 \times S_1 \times S_2}{S_1 + S_2} = \frac{2 \times 25 \times 4}{25 + 4} = \frac{200}{29}$ kmph.

Step 3: Calculate total distance
Total Distance = Speed $\times$ Time = $\frac{200}{29} \times \frac{29}{5} = 40$ km.

Step 4: Calculate one-way distance
Distance to post office = $\frac{40}{2} = 20$ km.

Step 1: Calculate remaining principal
Principal left = $16000 - 4000 = 12000$ Rs.

Step 2: Calculate Simple Interest
Time = 15 months = $\frac{15}{12}$ years = 1.25 years.
Rate = 12% per year.
Simple Interest = $\frac{P \times R \times T}{100} = \frac{12000 \times 12 \times 1.25}{100} = 1800$ Rs.

Step 3: Calculate total amount paid
Total Paid = Down payment + Remaining Principal + Interest
Total Paid = $4000 + 12000 + 1800 = 17800$ Rs.

Step 1: Calculate total maximum marks
Total Marks = $150 + 150 + 180 = 480$.

Step 2: Calculate passing marks
Passing marks required = $35\%$ of $480 = 480 \times 0.35 = 168$.

Step 3: Calculate marks obtained
Marks secured so far = $62 + 35 = 97$.

Step 4: Calculate required marks
Marks needed in the third paper = $168 - 97 = 71$.

Step 1: Calculate the absolute increase
Increase in sales = $21 - 15 = 6$ cars per week.

Step 2: Calculate percentage increase
Percentage Increase = $\frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original Sale}} \times 100$
Percentage Increase = $\frac{6}{15} \times 100 = 40\%$.

Step 1: Sum of ages at marriage
Sum of Husband's and Wife's ages at marriage = $23 \times 2 = 46$ years.

Step 2: Sum of ages after 5 years
After 5 years, both age by 5 years, so total increase = 10 years.
New sum of Husband and Wife = $46 + 10 = 56$ years.

Step 3: Include the child's age
Child's age = 1 year.
Total sum of the family (3 members) = $56 + 1 = 57$ years.

Step 4: Calculate the new average
Average Age = $\frac{57}{3} = 19$ years.

Step 1: Setup variables
Let Ravi's total money be $x$.
Money given to wife = $0.40x$.
Remaining amount = $x - 0.40x = 0.60x$.

Step 2: Distribute to sons
He gave $20\%$ of the remaining to each of his 3 sons = $3 \times 0.20 \times 0.60x = 0.36x$.
Remaining amount after sons = $0.60x - 0.36x = 0.24x$.

Step 3: Miscellaneous and Bank
Half of this was spent = $\frac{0.24x}{2} = 0.12x$.
The other half (0.12x) was deposited in the bank.

Step 4: Solve for x
$0.12x = 12000$
$x = \frac{12000}{0.12} = 100000$ Rs.

Step 1: Calculate the total toffees distributed
Total toffees = 160.
Ravi gets $5\%$ of $160 = 8$.
Anita gets $15\%$ of $160 = 24$.
Gagan gets $\frac{1}{4}$ of $160 = 40$.

Step 2: Total given away
Total distributed = $8 + 24 + 40 = 72$ toffees.

Step 3: Calculate remaining toffees
Toffees left = $160 - 72 = 88$.

Step 1: Calculate total cost and individual portions
Rahul has 20 dozen notebooks. We can use weighted averages for percentage profit directly since the cost price per dozen is constant.

Step 2: Apply weighted average formula
Profit from first part (8 dozen) = $8 \times 10\% = 80\%$.
Profit from second part (12 dozen) = $12 \times 20\% = 240\%$.

Step 3: Calculate overall profit percentage
Overall Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{Total Profit}}{\text{Total Quantity}} = \frac{80 + 240}{20} = \frac{320}{20} = 16\%$.

Step 1: Assume a base value
Let total articles be 100, and cost price per article be Rs. 1. Total CP = Rs. 100.

Step 2: Calculate profit and loss
Profit on 80 articles = $80 \times 10\% = +8$ Rs.
Loss on remaining 20 articles = $20 \times 40\% = -8$ Rs.

Step 3: Calculate net result
Net effect = $+8 - 8 = 0$.
Therefore, the overall result is No profit No loss.
