- Question
A person sold two cows each for Rs.9900. If he gained 10% on one and lost 20% on the other, then which of the following is true?
Options- A. He Gained Rs. 200
- B. He lost Rs. 200
- C. He neither gained nor lost
- D. None of the above
- Correct Answer
- None of the above
ExplanationThe CP of profitable cow = 9900/1.1 = 9000
and profit = Rs. 900
The CP of loss yielding cow = 9900/0.8 = 12375
and loss = Rs. 2475
so, the net loss = 2475 - 900 = 1575

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
According to question ,we can say that
From equation ?. x4 = 398 + 227 = 625
? x4 = 54
From equation ?. y2 = 346 - 321 = 25
? y2 = 52
Correct Answer: Sunday
Explanation:
The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.
But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005. So it has 1 odd day only.
∴ The day on 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.
Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.
∴ 6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).
Correct Answer: 23

Correct Answer: Couldn't be determined
Explanation:
Couldn't be determined, since the total amount of money is not given in either of the case
Correct Answer: a2 : c2
Explanation:
Given that a /b = b/c
? b2 = ac
? a4 : b4 = a4 : a2 c2 = a2 : c2
Correct Answer: 4 km/h
Explanation:
Given, A = 6 km/h, B = 3 km/ h
According to the formula, Average speed = 2AB/(A + B)
? Required average speed = 2 x 6 x 3/(6 + 3)
= 36/9 = 4 km/h
Correct Answer: 2 h
Explanation:
Given that, W + D = 6 ...(i)
[ w = Time taken while walking and
D = Time taken while driving ]
From Eq. (i)
5 +D = 6
? D = 1
2D = 2 x 1 = 2
? He will take 2 h to drive both ways.
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
175760 = 24 x 5 x 13 3
= 23 x 2 x 5 x 133
To make perfect cube, it must be divided by 2 x 5 = 10
Correct Answer: p2 = 4q
Explanation:
On comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0 , we get a = 1, b = p, c = q
The roots of the equation x2 + px + q = 0 are equal if
b2 - 4ac = 0
? p2 - 4q = 0 ? p2 = 4q.
Thus , required answer is option B .
Correct Answer: 1 : 9
Explanation:
Let the volume be x3 and 27x3
? Their edges are x and 3x
Now Ratio of their surface area = 6x2 : 54x2 = 1 : 9
