    Given that the arithmetic mean of x, y and z is 80.
    $$Rightarrow$$ $$dfrac{x+y+z}{3} = 80$$ $$Rightarrow$$ $$x+y+z = 240$$  ... (1)
    Also,  $$dfrac{x+y+z+v+u}{5} = 75$$ $$Rightarrow$$ $$dfrac{x+y+z+v+u}{5} = 75$$
    $$Rightarrow$$ $$x+y+z+v+u = 375$$
    Substituting values from equation (1), $$Rightarrow$$ $$v+u = 135$$
    It is given that u=(x+y)/2 and v=(y+z)/2. $$Rightarrow$$ $$(x+y)/2+(y+z)/2 = 135$$
    $$Rightarrow$$ $$x+2y+z = 270$$
    $$Rightarrow$$ $$y = 30$$   (Since $$x+y+z = 240$$) 
    Therefore, we can say that $$x+z = 240 - y = 210$$. We are also given that x ≥ z,  Hence, $$x_{min}$$ = 210/2 = 105.

MCQ-> The English alphabet is divided into five groups. Each group starts with the vowel and the consonants immediately following that vowel and the consonants immediately following that vowel are included in that group. Thus, the letters A, B, C, D will be in the first group, the letters E, F, G, H will be in the second group and so on. The value of the first group is fixed as 10, the second group as 20 and so on. The value of the last group is fixed as 50. In a group, the value of each letter will be the value of that group. To calculate the value of a word, you should give the same value of each of the letters as the value of the group to which a particular letter belongs and then add all the letters of the word: If all the letters in the word belong to one group only, then the value of that word will be equal to the product of the number of letters in the word and the value of the group to which the letters belong. However, if the letters of the words belong to different groups, then first write the value of all the letters. The value of the word would be equal to the sum of the value of the first letter and double the sum of the values of the remaining letters.For Example : The value of word ‘CAB’ will be equal to 10 + 10 + 10 = 30, because all the three letters (the first letter and the remaining two) belong to the first group and so the value of each letter is 10. The value of letter BUT = $$10 + 2 \times 40 + 2 \times 50 = 190$$ because the value of first letter B is 10, the value of T = 2 $$\times$$ 40 (T belongs to the fourth group) and the value of U = 2 $$\times$$ 50 (U belongs to the fifth group).

MCQ-> Answer the questions based on the information given below: Madhubala Devi, who works as a domestic help, received Rs. 2500 as Deepawali bonus from her employer. With that money she is contemplating purchase of one or more among 5 available government bonds - A, B, C, D and E. To purchase a bond Madhubala Devi will have to pay the price of the bond. If she owns a bond she receives a stipulated amount of money every year (which is termed as the coupon payment) till the maturity of the bond. At the maturity of the bond she also receives the face value of the bond. Price of a bond is given by: $$P=[\sum_{t=1}^T\frac{C}{(1+r)^{t}}]+\frac{F}{(1+r)^{t}}$$ where C is coupon payment on the bond. which is the amount of money the holder of the bond receives annually; F is the face value of the bond, which is the amount of money the holder of the bond receives when the bond matures (over and above the coupon payment for the year of maturity); T is the number of years in which the bond matures; R = 0.25, which means the market rate of interest is 25%. Among the 5 bonds the bond A and another two bonds mature in 2 years, one of the bonds matures in 3 years, and the bond D matures in 5 years. The coupon payments on bonds A, E, B, D and C are in arithmetic progression, such that the coupon payment on bond A is twice the common difference, and the coupon payment on bond B is half the price of bond A. The face value of bond B is twice the face value of bond E, but the price of bond B is 75% more than the price of bond E. The price of bond C is more than Rs. 1800 and its face value is same as the price of bond A. The face value of bond A is Rs. 1000. Bond D has the largest face value among the five bonds.The face value of bond E must be
