The strength of a salt solution is $\mathrm{p} \%$ if $100 \mathrm{ml}$ of the solution contains $p$ grams of salt. Each of three vessels $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$ contains $500 \mathrm{ml}$ of salt solution of strengths $10 \%, 22 \%$, and $32 \%$, respectively. Now, $100 \mathrm{ml}$ of the solution in vessel A is transferred to vessel B. Then, $100 \mathrm{ml}$ of the solution in vessel $B$ is transferred to vessel $C$. Finally, $100 \mathrm{ml}$ of the solution in vessel $C$ is transferred to vessel $A$. The strength, in percentage, of the resulting solution in vessel $A$ is

A trader sells $10$ litres of a mixture of paints $A$ and $B$, where the amount of $B$ in the mixture does not exceed that of $A$. The cost of paint A per litre is Rs. $8$ more than that of paint B. If the trader sells the entire mixture for Rs. $264$ and makes a profit of $10 \%$, then the highest possible cost of paint B, in Rs. per litre, is

The strength of an indigo solution in percentage is equal to the amount of indigo in grams per $100 \mathrm{cc}$ of water. Two $800 \mathrm{cc}$ bottles are filled with indigo solutions of strengths $33 \%$ and $17 \%$, respectively. A part of the solution from the first bottle is thrown away and replaced by an equal volume of the solution from the second bottle. If the strength of the indigo solution in the first bottle has now changed to $21 \%$ then the volume, in cc, of the solution left in the second bottle is
