Here is a simple trick: buy/borrow last 4 editions of Jahangir times magazine. At the end of magazine are listed all the major events over the month. Go through them.

The question is vague. Though my answer does not match, here is my try:

let say the cost of watch is x
he sold it for a loss of 5%, that means he sold it for
x- 5%x = 0.95x
so he actually sold it for = 0.95x
had he sold it for 56.25 more, he would have gained 10% profit (i hope question means this ), then the equations becomes:
0.95x + 56.25= x + 10% x= 1.1x
= 1.1x -0.95x= 65.25
=0.15x = 65.25
= x= 435 (which is cost price)

lets the price be x
than he sold at a loss of 5% means
he sold it for .95x
had he sold it for 56.25
means add this amount to what he actually sold it for
.95x+56.25
in that he case he would have made a profit of 10% on cost
i-e x+.1x
now put it in equation form
.95x+56.25=1.1x
.15x=56.25
x=375

The adolescent attitude towards study is that it is a task to be avoided if at all possible. At
best it is an unpleasant chore. It is begun under duress and escaped as soon as the
opportunity presents itself. The mark of truly adult learning, ______________, is that it is
done with no sense of being forced. It is entirely voluntary and carried on with a sense of
enjoyment and satisfaction.
a. likewise
b. however
c. in other words
d. finally

.If x/5 and x/7 x/10 are simplest forms, what may be the value of x? I think this was tested last year any one?

descendent saul made apt remark, SBP is ruthless. Appear in test but don't attach any hopes, that way you won't be dejected in case the worst happens.
Simplest form of a fraction is the one in which a common factor divides denominator and numerator completely i.e. there is no remainder.
Take the LCM of 5, 7, 10 which is 70.
In that way 70/5, 70/7 and 70/10 would all be in simplest form. This is what I think. Not sure

b. however (likewise, in other words and finally are used to present/add the similar idea. On the other hand, 'however' presents an opposite idea )
