Answer : 1. "2893"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 2893 Explanation: For solving this problem first we would break the whole range in 5 sections 1) From 1 to 9Total number of zero in this range = 0 2) From 10 to 99Total possibilities = 9*1 = 9 ( here 9 is used for the possibilities of a non zero integer) 3) From 100 to 999 - three type of numbers are there in this range a) x00 b) x0x c) xx0 (here x represents a non zero number)Total possibilities for x00 = 9*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*2 = 18for x0x = 9*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81similarly for xx0 = 81 total zeros in three digit numbers = 18 + 81 +81 = 180 4) From 1000 to 9999 - seven type of numbers are there in this rangea)x000 b)xx00 c)x0x0 d)x00x e)xxx0 f)xx0x g)x0xxTotal possibilities for x000 = 9*1*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*3 = 27 for xx00 = 9*9*1*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162 for x0x0 = 9*1*9*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162for x00x = 9*1*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162 for xxx0 = 9*9*9*1 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729for xx0x = 9*9*1*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729for x0xx = 9*1*9*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729total zeros in four digit numbers = 27 + 3*162 + 3*729 = 2700thus total zeros will be 0+9+180+2700+4 (last 4 is for 4 zeros of 10000)= 2893

Answer : 2. "315"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 315 Explanation: Parallelograms are formed when any two pairs of parallel lines (where each pair is not parallel to the other pair) intersect.   Hence, the given problem can be considered as selecting pairs of lines from the given 2 sets of parallel lines.   Therefore, the total number of parallelograms formed = 7C2 x 6C2 = 315

Answer : 3. "Rs. 340"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Rs. 340 Explanation: Assume first child (the youngest) get = Rs. x According to the question ;each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one Second child will get = Rs. x + 30 Third child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 = x + 60 Forth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 90 Fifth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 120 Total amount they got = Rs. 2000 x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + (x+120) = 20005x + 300 = 20005x = 1700x = Rs. 340So the youngest child will get Rs. 340.
