JMO - miscellaneous examples

1.    Nanu was asked to divide a number by 6 and then add 12 to the quotient. She, however added 12 to the number first and then divided it by 6, getting an answer of 112. What was the correct answer?

2.    If Nanu travels at 40 km/hr speed, she reaches school from home at 9:30 am. If she travels at 50 km/hr speed, she reaches at 9:00 am. What is the distance from home to her school?

3.    Solve the alpha-numbers, given that each alphabet represents a unique digit.

series, JMO

The following number is formed by a special pattern and is the only 
one of its kind: 8549176320. 
What is the pattern?
 

Look and say sequence

The series given below is called the "look - and - say" sequence.
 
1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221, 1113213211, ... 
To generate a member of the sequence from the previous member, one must read  the digits of the previous member, thus:
  • 1 is to be  read as "one 1" or 11.
  • 11 is to be  read as "two 1s" or 21.
  • 21 is to be  read as "one 2, then one 1" or 1211.
  • 1211 is to be  read as "one 1, then one 2, then two 1s" or 111221.
  • 111221 is to be  read as "three 1s, then two 2s, then one 1" or 312211
