Since first person sold at 10% loss: $0.90 	imes 	ext{Original Price} = 45,000 \implies 	ext{Original Price} = \frac{45000}{0.9} = 	ext{Rs. } 50,000$.

Accepted Answer

Option A: 162. Let initial classes be $2x, 3x, 4x$. After adding 12: $\frac{2x + 12}{3x + 12} = \frac{8}{11} \implies 11(2x + 12) = 8(3x + 12) \implies 22x + 132 = 24x + 96 \implies 2x = 36 \implies x = 18$.
Total initial students $= (2 + 3 + 4)x = 9 	imes 18 = 162$.

Complete the series: 18, 28, 40, 54, 70, ?

Accepted Answer

Option B: 88. Differences between successive terms: $28 - 18 = 10$, $40 - 28 = 12$, $54 - 40 = 14$, $70 - 54 = 16$. Next difference $= +18 \implies 70 + 18 = 88$.
