Answer / guest
Assume there are 6X boys and 4X Girls
Total Students taking lunch in canteen
= (6X)(60/100) + (4X)(40/100)
= 36(X/10) + 16(X/10)
= 52(X/10)
Total students are = 6X + 4X = 10X
% of class taking lunch in canteen
= ((52X/10) * 100 ) / 10X
= 52 %

Answer / snigdha
Let us assume that the no. of students are 10.
Hence boys are 6 and girls are 4.
60%of 6= 60/100*6=36/10.
40%of 4= 40/100*4=16/10
total students who lunch in canteen = 36/10+16/10=52/10
Total % = (52/10)/10*100
= 52%

Arrange five planets such that 4 of them add up to 5th planet numerically. Each of the letters of the planet should represent a unique number from the range 0 - 9. You have to use all ten digits. There is an amazing mathematical relationship exists among the names of the planet.
A number of 9 digits has the following properties: ? The number comprising the leftmost two digits is divisible by 2, that comprising the leftmost three digits is divisible by 3, the leftmost four by 4, the leftmost five by 5, and so on for the nine digits of the number i.e. the number formed from the first n digits is divisible by n, 2<=n<=9. ? Each digit in the number is different i.e. no digits are repeated. ? The digit 0 does not occur in the number i.e. it is comprised only of the digits 1-9 in some order. Find the number.
