Let original number be x. (x + 45) / x = (1/5) / (1/6) = 6/5. 5(x + 45) = 6x. 5x + 225 = 6x. x = 225.

Petrol = 300 (30% of income). Total income = 300 / 0.3 = 1000. Remaining = 1000 - 300 = 700. Rent = 1/4 of 700 = 175.

Ratio A:B:C = 100:65:35 = 20:13:7. C's share (7 parts) = 560, so 1 part = 80. Total parts = 20+13+7 = 40. Total sum = 40 * 80 = 3200.

Work rates: A=1/7, B=1/8, C=1/6. Cycle (3 days) = 1/7 + 1/8 + 1/6 = (24+21+28)/168 = 73/168. After 6 days (2 cycles) = 146/168. Remaining = 22/168. Day 7 (Anand) does 1/7 = 24/168. Since 24/168 > 22/168, work finishes on day 7.

LCM(x,y) = 36, HCF(x,y) = 4. xy = LCMHCF = 144. If x=4, then y=36. Check: x+y = 4+36 = 40. 40 is not divisible by 9. Thus, D is the statement that is not true.

Original total characters = 20 * 55 * 65 = 71500. New sheets needed = 71500 / (65 * 70) = 71500 / 4550 = 15.71, which rounds to 16 sheets. The reduction is (20 - 16) / 20 = 4 / 20 = 20%.
