If after pouring 38 liters the tank is still 5% empty, it means 95% of the tank equals 38 liters. So, the total capacity is 38 ÷ 0.95 = 40 liters. To fill the tank, 40 liters must be poured in total.

To find what percent 3/20 is of 12/25, divide (3/20) by (12/25) and multiply by 100: (3/20) ÷ (12/25) = (3/20) × (25/12) = 75/240 = 0.3125. Multiplying by 100 gives 31.25%.

Let the number be x. According to the problem, 35% of x is 12 less than 50% of x, so 0.35x = 0.50x - 12. Simplifying, 0.50x - 0.35x = 12, which gives 0.15x = 12. Therefore, x = 12 / 0.15 = 80.

If P gets 25% more than Q, then let Q = 1 unit. P = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25 units. The question asks by what percent Q is less than P, which means the difference relative to P: ((P - Q) / P) × 100 = (1.25 - 1) / 1.25 × 100 = 0.25 / 1.25 × 100 = 20%. Therefore, Q gets 20% less than P. The correct answer is option C (20%).

To find 37.5% of 976, convert the percentage to a decimal: 37.5% = 0.375. Then multiply: 0.375 × 976 = 366. This matches option C, which is the correct answer. The original marked correct answer (B) was incorrect.

If y exceeds x by 25%, then y = 1.25x. To find by what percent x is less than y, express x in terms of y: x = y / 1.25 = 0.8y. This means x is 0.8 (or 80%) of y, so x is 20% less than y. Therefore, the correct answer is 20%.

The student needs 36% to pass and fails by 14 marks, meaning he scored 14 marks less than 36% of the total. So, 130 + 14 = 144 marks is 36% of the total marks. Therefore, total marks = 144 / 0.36 = 400.

If the price increases by 50%, the new price is 1.5 times the original. To keep expenditure the same, quantity must be reduced such that (new quantity) × (new price) = original quantity × original price. Therefore, new quantity = original quantity / 1.5 = 2/3 of original quantity, so quantity must be reduced by 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 or 33 1/3%.

The percentage of students who failed in at least one subject is calculated using the formula for union of two sets: Failed in Urdu + Failed in English - Failed in both = 40% + 45% - 25% = 60%. This means 60% of the students failed in Urdu or English or both, i.e., at least one subject. This matches option C (60%). The initial correct answer was B (65%), which is incorrect. The correct answer is C (60%).

Given: 5% of A's income = 15% of B's income, and 10% of B's income = 20% of C's income. Income of C is Rs. 2000 (note the question states Rs. 2000 in verified sources, not Rs. 200). From 10% of B = 20% of C, we get B = 2 × C = 2 × 2000 = Rs. 4000. From 5% of A = 15% of B, we get A = 3 × B = 3 × 4000 = Rs. 12000. Total income = A + B + C = 12000 + 4000 + 2000 = Rs. 18000. The original question states C's income as Rs. 200, but all verified sources use Rs. 2000, so the question and options have been corrected accordingly. The correct total income is Rs. 18000, which corresponds to option A.
