Pensu@andenagaveni24: to answer your first doubt, in first question it is given that 640 student took maths and 560 took physics. Total is 1200. Now we only have 1000 students, so the ppl who took both subjects are 1200-1000=200. Hence the answer.
@sahithi: In 3-2cosx the maximum value this function can get is when cosx=-1 so the value would be 3+2=5. Or if you want to do it mathematically then you can differentiate it, you will get 2sinx, which is minimum at x=0 or pie. When you will put these values in the expression you will get the answer.
In Q.7 we cant be sure that the encrypted form of clever is c. It could be "b c". We need something else to verify it and we cant get that something else in 2nd statement.
IN Q.8 If P is husband of someone then it cant be mother of Q. So we can answer the question.
