Answer to Q109

A man had 10⅔kg of onions and sold ⅔ of it. How much does he have left?

If 10kg is your answer, you are so wrong. The question didn't say he sold ⅔kg of the onions, he sold ⅔ of the entire onions.

So how much is ⅔ of 10⅔:
10⅔ = ³²⁄₃
⅔ of that
³²⁄₃ x ⅔
64 ÷ 9
= 7⅑

But wait, that's not what the question asked, the question was how much he had left, not how much he sold.

So how much he had left will be (10⅔ - 7⅑) or simply (⅓ of 10⅔) [you will arrive at the same answer either way].
so, ⅓ of 10⅔:
³²⁄₃ x ⅓
32 ÷ 9
= 3⁵⁄₉

Answer: 3⁵⁄₉

I spotted the error in the options after several people have voted so I decided to leave it in because whoever got the correct answer should know it was just an error.

Telegram announces Search Filters

With the help of the Search Filters option, users can now filter search results by type. They can do that by using the new tabs: Media, Links, Files and others. Searches can be done based on the particular time period like by typing in the date or even “Yesterday”. If users type in the name of a person, group, channel or bot, an extra filter will be applied to the searches.

However, analysts are positive on the stock now. “We have seen a huge downside movement in the stock due to the central electricity regulatory commission’s (CERC) order that seems to be negative from 2014-15 onwards but we cannot take a linear negative view on the stock and further downside movement on the stock is unlikely. Currently stock is underpriced. Investors can bet on it for a longer horizon," said Vivek Gupta, director research at CapitalVia Global Research.
