Thought Army Commands, but realised that won't be the answer, as the six Army Commands are differently named, leave alone being the wrong number of letters.

These are the equations to calculate autorickshaw fares in the respective cities :)
x is the distance travelled in kms.

That was a good one.

It'd have been easier if the meter rate was also used. In Mumbai, the analog counter meters are still used, and the rate is 14x-3, as the 1.00 on the meter roughly corresponds to either 1 Mile or 2KM.

2) What do these equations represent:

Mumbai: 12+7(x-1.6)
Delhi: 20+6.5(x-2)

Er... how did the engraver of the coin come to know that Christ would come 260 years later? The coin's obviously a fake. So he'll get an egg.

Whistleblowers who were murdered by the people who they exposed? The guy on the left seems to be that IIT/IIM guy who was murdered by the petrol mafia in UP, and a trust was formed in his name...

Just guessing, no Googling.

Correct answer!:grin:
The first one is Satyendra Dubey a passout off IIT-K/IIT-BHU and was project director at NHAI.
The second one is Shanmughan Manjunath,IIM-L passout.

Too many clues, googling will give it away:

1. This land finds mention in the Mahabharata as being reclaimed for Parshurama/Bhargava Rama, son of Jamdagni.
   
2. During the 3rd Century BC, Ashoka the Great sent a Buddhist Emissary, Yonaka Dhammarakkhita Thera, to this capital city.
   
3. The kingdom, Aparanta, consisted of today's Konkan region, the state of Gujarat & the Sindh province in Pakistan.
   
4. The city was a well-equipped harbour, trading with the Persians & Greeks who settled there as well, and finds mentions in Ptolemy's writings as well.
   

Name this city or its present name.

It's Nala Sopara.
