- I asked the shopkeeper the price of a wristwatch. I found that I had just the required sum of money. When the shopkeeper allowed me a discount of 25%, I could bought another watch worth Rs. 940 for my younger sister. What is the price Which I have paid for my own watch?
Options- A. Rs. 2700
- B. Rs.1800
- C. Rs. 2820
- D. Rs. 3760
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 2820
ExplanationIf I had Rs. 100
Discount = 25 = cost of my sister's watch
The cost of my own watch = 75
Thus the ratio of cost of my own watch to that of my sister's watch = 3 : 1
So the cost of my own watch = 3 x 940 = 2820 - 1. Find the odd word/letters/number pair from the given alternatives.

Correct Answer: TQ
Correct Answer: 13000
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
Let present age of Pranay = 15p
That of Sai = 17p
ATQ,
15p + 6/17p + 6 = 9/10
=> 150p + 60 = 153p + 54
=> p = 2
Therefore, Age of Pranay after 6 yrs = 15 x 2 + 6 = 36 years.
