The bulb that is hot corresponds to first switch, as it was turned on for ten minutes and have heated up. The cold and not-glowing bulb corresponds to the third switch

Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.

let the third no be x ,
then the first no is 3x ,
second no is 2*3x ie 6x
average is (3x+6x+x )/3 = 20
10x/3 = 20
x= 60/10 = 6
third no is 6 , second is 6x = 36, first no is 3x = 18
largest no is 36 i.e second no

boys= x
girls=2x
boys+girls= 60
x+2x=60
x=60/3
x=20
kamal=17th rank
9 girls are ahead of kamal
17-9=8
20-8=12 boys are after kamal’s rank

X=300
X share is 1200
Y share is 1800
Difference will be = x-y =600
