- Question
In an exhibition, Almond bought a painting for Rs. 20000. He later sold it to Olive for Rs. 23000. Olive sold it to Sarah for double the profit percentage that Almond earned. At what price should Sarah sell this painting to earn 8% profit ?
Options- A. Rs. 34,410
- B. Rs. 31,184
- C. Rs. 29,999
- D. Rs. 32,292
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 32,292
ExplanationAlmond Selling price = CP(1 + P%/100)
=> CP = 20000, SP = 23000
=> 23000 = 20000 (1 + P/100)
=> P% = 100(23000/20000 - 1) = 15
Then, Olive's P% = 30%
SP for Olive = CP for Sarah = 23000(1 + 30/100) = 29900
Now Sarah wants to earn profit of 8%
=> Sp for Sarah = 29900(1 + 8/100)
= Rs. 32,292.

Correct Answer: 4 : 9
Explanation:
Let the amount of juice and water in original mixture '4x' litre and '3x' litre respectively.
According to given data,
4x/3x+6 =8/7
28x=24x+48
28x?24x=48
4x = 48
x = 12
Amount of juice = 4x = 4×12 = 48 litre.
Correct Answer: 2:1
Explanation:
Ratio of milk andwater = 4:1
