Options- A. 20%
- B. 14%
- C. 15%
- D. 16%
- Correct Answer
- 14%
ExplanationC.P. of 150 calculators = 150 x 250 = Rs. 37500
? Total C.P. = 37500 + 2500 = Rs. 40000
Marked price of 150 calculator = 150 x 320 = Rs. 48000
Selling price after discount = 48000 x 95 / 100 = Rs. 45600
? percentage profit = [(45600 - 40000) / 40000] x 100 = 14% - 1. A can complete a piece of work in 10 days, while B alone can complete it in 15 days.

Correct Answer: $225, $150, $75
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 50 m ?3
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 2 : 3
Explanation:
Given that, 30 % of A = 20 % of B
? A/B = 20/30 = 2/3
? A : B = 2 : 3
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
Let initial quantity be Q, and final quantity be F
F = Q(1 - 8/Q)
=> Q = 20
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
? log5[(x2 + x ) / x] = 2
? log10(x + 1) = 2
? x + 1 = 25
? x = 24
Correct Answer: 19
Explanation:
Average of 20 numbers = 0.
∴ Sum of 20 numbers (0 x 20) = 0.
It is quite possible that 19 of these numbers may be positive and if their sum is a then 20th number is (-a).
Correct Answer: 7 : 2
Explanation:
We know that speed is inversely proportional to time.
Given that, (Speed of A ) : (speed of B ) = 2 : 7
?(Time taken by A ) : (Time taken by B ) = 1/2 : 1/7 = 7 : 2
Correct Answer: 6 h
Explanation:
Let th distance = D
and usual speed = V
According to the question,
D/(3V/4) - D/V = 2
? D/V = 3 x 2 = 6
Time taken to cover the distance with usual speed = 6 h
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
?2n = 64
? 2n/2 = 26
? n/2 = 6
? n = 12
Correct Answer: 16 h
Explanation:
Distance = 160 km
Relative Speed = 8 + 2 = 10
Time = Distance/Relative speed = 160/10 = 16 h
