The perimeter of a semicircle = πr + 2r (half the circumference plus the diameter). So, πr + 2r = 72 cm. Using π = 22/7 and solving for r gives r = 14 cm.

Both assumptions are implicit in the statement. Assumption A is that eating fruits and vegetables contributes to health, which is the basis of the advice. Assumption B is that people currently do not eat enough fruits and vegetables, hence the need for such a recommendation.

In a right-angled triangle (ΔABC with ∠C = 90°), by Pythagoras theorem, AB² = AC² + BC² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100. Therefore, AB = √100 = 10 cm.

The ratio of areas of squares is the square of the ratio of their sides. If the ratio of their sides is a:b, then a²:b² = 1:9, giving a:b = 1:3. The ratio of their perimeters (which is proportional to the sides) is also 1:3.

A’s 1 day’s work = 1/15, B’s 1 day’s work = 1/10. Work done by A and B in 2 days = 2 * (1/15 + 1/10) = 1/3. Remaining work = 1 – 1/3 = 2/3. B completes 1/10 of work in 1 day, so for 2/3 work, B will take 2/3 * 10 = 6.67 days, which is approximately 7 days.

Let the amount invested at 10% be ₹x. Then, amount invested at 20% is ₹20,000 – x. Total interest for one year is ₹3,000 = 10% of x + 20% of (₹20,000 – x). Solving this equation gives x = ₹10,000.
