Question
Mr Ramakrishna is the bus conductor on KSRTC Bangalore - Kundapur route.
While the bus stopped for 5minutes in Mangalore, he noticed that 4 passengers got inside the bus, 3 of them to Udupi and one to Kundapur.
Price of tickets is Rs 1.3 per kilometer.
What is the approximate extra money collected from these 4 passengers ??
Answer
First we need to estimate the distances from Mangalore to Udupi and Kundapur.
Mangalore to Udupi --- 56km
Mangalore to Kundapur --- 90km
The rate is Rs 1.3 per kilometer.
==>> Fare to Udupi : 55 * 1.3
==>> : 71.50 Rs
Fare to Kundapur : 90 * 1.3
==>> : 117.00 Rs
The approximate extra money collected from passengers to Udupi as there were 3 passengers,
≠=>> 71.5 * 3 = 214.5 Rs
One passenger to Kundapur = 117.00 Rs
==>> Total money = 214.5 + 117.0 = 331. 5 Rs !!!

Many people recognize blue and white as iconic colours of Greece. These are also the colours in Greek flag.
Many of the Greek houses are built out of stone. Rocky terrain is of darker colour.
This presented a problem during the sunny Greek Summer. The sunlight falling down on homes would be absorbed by dark stones making interior unbearably hot.
Hence, residents began painting the stones white in order to cool down their interiors.
Greeks painted their house blue because it was the cheapest colour available !!!!
I like to drink curd instead of having rice with it.
But yesterday, curd was so much sour that I could not drink it.
When I complained , my mother asked me to have the sour curd mixing with rice. She added little milk also to the curd rice.
Now the same sour curd has become eatable !!!
Curd turns sour even in winters. But it turns sour quickly during summers.
WHY ???
High temperatures accelerate the activity and growth of Lectobacilus bacteria.
These bacteria converts the natural sugar in milk into lactic acid. This process is necessary to set the curd.
But heat acts as an accelerator, causing the bacteria to multiply rapidly and produce acid much faster than winters.
Once the curd is set, fermentation does not stop there !!!
The bacteria continues to produce acid, quickly pushing the taste from mildly tangy to sharply sour.
These bacteria thrive best in temperature between 30 to 45 degree Celsius which is common during summer.
That's why curd turns sour quickly in summers !!!
