ABCD is a rectangle. $P, Q$ and $R$ are the midpoints of $BC, CD$ and $DA$. The point $S$ lies on the line $QR$ in such a way that $SR:QS=1:3$. The ratio of the area of triangle $APS$ and rectangle $ABCD$ is
In an innings of a T20 cricket match (a team can bowl for 20 overs) 6 bowlers bowled from the elding side, with a bowler allowed maximum of 4 overs. Only the three specialist bowlers bowled their full quota of 4 overs each, and the remaining 8 overs were shared among three non-specialist bowlers. The economy rates of four bowlers were 6, 6, 7 and 9 respectively. (Economy rate is the total number of runs conceded by a bowler divided by the number of overs bowled by that bowler). This however, does not include the data of the best bowler (lowest economy rate) and the worst bowler (highest economy rate). The number of overs bowled and the economy rate of any bowler are in integers.

Abdul has 8 factories, with different capacities, producing boutique kurtas. In the production process, he incurs raw material cost, selling cost (for packaging and transportation) and labour cost. These costs per kurta vary across factories. In all these factories, a worker takes 2 hours to produce a kurta. Pro t per kurta is calculated by deducting raw material cost, selling cost and labour cost from the selling price (Pro t = selling price - raw materials cost - selling cost - labour cost). Any other cost can be ignored.

AB, CD and EF are three parallel lines, in that order. Let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be the distances from CD to AB and EF respectively. $d_1$ and $d_2$ are integers, where $d_1:d_2=2:1$. $P$ is a point on AB, $Q$ and $S$ are points on CD and $R$ is a point on EF. If the area of the quadrilateral $PQRS$ is $30$ square units, what is the value of $QR$ when the value of $SR$ is the least?
Arup and Swarup leave point A at 8 AM to point B. To reach B, they have to walk the first 2 km, then travel 4 km by boat and complete the final 20 km by car.

In a class of 60, along with English as a common subject, students can opt to major in Mathematics, Physics, Biology or a combination of any two. 6 students major in both Mathematics and Physics, 15 major in both Physics and Biology, but no one majors in both Mathematics and Biology. In an English test, the average mark of \emph{Mathematics majors is 45 and that of \emph{Biology majors} is 60. The combined average of students of these two majors together is 50. What is the maximum possible number of students who major ONLY in Physics?}
