A 200-litre container holds a solution that is 30% acid and the rest water. The solution undergoes the following three processes sequentially:
1. 20% of the water content is evaporated.
2. From the remaining mixture, 10% of the acid content is chemically extracted and removed.
3. Finally, 15% of the resulting solution is removed and replaced with water.
What is the volume of acid in the final solution?

A loan of Rs 1000 is fully repaid by two installments of Rs 530 and Rs 594, paid at the end of the first and second year, respectively. If the interest is compounded annually, then the rate of interest, in percentage, is:
The average number of copies of a book sold per day by a shopkeeper is 60 in the initial seven days and 63 in the initial eight days, after the book launch. On the ninth day, she sells 11 copies less than the eighth day, and the average number of copies sold per day from the second day to the ninth day becomes 66. The number of copies sold on the first day of the book launch is:
