Solution:

Neither, the accountant was his sister.

Solution:

1653

Explanation:
For an ideal case, the batsman will hit a six on each ball. But if he hits six on the last ball of the over, the strike will change in the next over. Thus, the best he can do in the last ball is run 3 runs so that he retains the strike even in the next over. Thus the total runs that he can score in each over:
6 * 5 + 3 = 33
But this will have to go like it only till the 49th over. In the last over, he can hit a six in the last ball as well as that will be the last ball of the match.
Thus runs for the last over will be 6 * 6 = 36.
Hence the maximum runs = 33 * 49 + 36 = 1653

Solution:

4 6 5 3 (from magician perspective)
3 5 6 4 (viewer perspective)

Detail:

From user perspective:
3 5 6 4 => 5 6 4 3 => 6 5 4 3

For magician perspective
3 4 5 6 (ascending order as)

Solution:

36 meters.

100/v1 = 80/v2
100/v2 = 80/v3

20+(20/v2)*v3=20+16 = 36

Solution:

The wise man told them to switch the horses and then race. In this manner, both of them will be willing to race as fast as they can to prove that the other horse (his own horse) is slow.

Solution:

Since each one of them gave one answer wrong, this means that each one of them gave two answers right.

Let us assume that Student A gave a wrong answer to the first question. This will mean that Student B also gave a wrong answer for the first. This will conclude that the rest of the two answers given by them are correct. However, the answers are different and thus it is not possible.

Thus both Student A and Student B must be right with the first question and the answer to the first is two.

If you keep applying the same logic, you will come to a conclusion that following are the correct answers:
Q1. Two
Q2. Three
Q3. Two

Solution:

There are six unique answers

Ans1:
7 x 4 = 28
36 / 4 = 9
1 + 4 = 5

Ans2:
9 x 4 = 36
28 / 4 = 7
1 + 4 = 5

Ans3:
3 x 8 = 24
56 / 8 = 7
1 + 8 = 9

Ans4:
7 x 8 = 56
24 / 8 = 3
1 + 8 = 9

Ans5:
4 x 8 = 32
56 / 8 = 7
1 + 8 = 9

Ans6:
7 x 8 = 56
32 / 8 = 4
1 + 8 = 9

* 8 + 6 =14
* 5 - 4 = 1
* 7 = 2*4 - 1
* 4 + 6 = 10
* 7+4+6+5+8 = 30
