Solution:

Suppose that we have B buses at present and S refers to the space before we expanded. This implies that
S = B - 12 ----- [1]

When we expanded, we came up with more space. It can be equated as
S + 0.4 x S = B + 12 ------ [2]

Rewriting the equation we get
1.45 = B + 12
Also, B = 1.45 - 12 ----- [3]

The first equation can also be written as
B = S + 12 ----- [4]

If we equate the third and fourth equation, we will have
1.4 S - 12 = S + 12

Let us subtract S from both the sides
0.4 S - 12 = 12

Adding 12 to both sides
0.4 S = 24

Multiplying by ten and dividing by four on both sides
S = 60

If we insert this value in the fourth equation, we will have
B = 72

Thus there are 72 buses.

Initially we had room for 60 buses after expanding the garage space by 40 percent, we will be having enough room to have 84 buses out of which twelve is for future.

Solution:

99 matches.

The number of matches will always sum up to one less than the number of players in a knock out tournament. You may calculate it in any manner. Thus 99 matches were played.

Solution:

Jeff Killed Mike

1. Jack is not the murderer, because he is the brother of the murderer.
2. Dan can't be the murderer since he ran a marathon, and the murderer recently had his leg amputated, and wouldn't be running a marathon of any magnitude that quickly.
3. Ben is not the murderer if he just met Jack, since Jack and the murderer grew up together.
4. This leaves Jeff and Mike.

Since Jeff is still alive (he wants to install a new computer next week, present tense) he must be the murderer. Mike also didn't grow up with Jack. It has been determined that Jack, Dan and Jeff are all alive. Ben must also be alive since Jeff plans to install Ben's computer next week. This means that Jeff killed Mike.

Solution:

Flyball should pay Lavy $11 instead of accepting his counter offer as in that case the club will end up paying almost double the amount.

Solution:

Batsman hit six and gone retired hurt while the new batsman come to play and get runout for his wicket and the other batsman hit six and made both century and team win..

Solution:

Let us denote the number of boys as 'p' and the number of girls as 'q'.

The first statement says that each boy has equal numbers of brothers and sisters
(p - 1) = q
=> p - q = 1 ------- (a)

The second statement says that every girl has twice as many brothers as that of sisters
2 (q - 1) = p
=> 2q - p = 2 ------- (b)

By solving (a) and (b)
We get q as 3 and p as 4.

Therefore, there are 4 boys and 3 girls in the family.

Solution:

Set the first switches on for abt 10min, and then switch on the second switch and then enter the room.
Three cases are possible
1.Bulb is on => second switch is the ans
2.Bulb is off and on touching bulb , you will find bulb to be warm
=>1st switch is the ans.
3.Bulb is off and on touching second bulb , you will find bulb to be normal(not warm)
=>3rd bulb is the ans.
