500 mg of a dry adsorbent is added to a beaker containing 100 mL solution of concentration 100 mg phenol/(L solution). The adsorbent is separated out after 5 h of rigorous mixing. If the residual concentration in the solution after separating the adsorbent is 30 mg phenol/(L solution), the amount of phenol adsorbed (in mg per gram of dry adsorbent) is

In a locality, the houses are numbered in the following way:
The house-numbers on one side of a road are consecutive odd integers starting from 301, while the house-numbers on the other side of the road are consecutive even numbers starting from 302. The total number of houses is the same on both sides of the road.
If the difference of the sum of the house-numbers between the two sides of the road is 27, then the number of houses on each side of the road is
