Options- A. 80%
- B. 60%
- C. 76%
- D. None of these
- Correct Answer
- 76%
ExplanationSP at the stall at the trade fair = 2P - 20% of 2P = 8P/5
CP of the jacket = (P x 100)/(100 + 10) = 10P/11
? profit = 8P/5 - 10/11 = 38P/55
? Profit per cent made at the trade fair = [(38P/55) / (10P/11)]x 100
= (38/5) x (1/10) x 100
= 76% - 1. 0.0169 / 0.013=?

Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Given Exp. = 4 / 7 + {(2q - p) / (2q + p)}
Dividing numerator as well as denominator by q,
Exp = 4/7 + {2-p/q) / (2 + p/q)}
= 4/7 + {(2 - 4/5) / (2 + 4/5)}
= 4/7 + 6/14
= 4/7 + 3/7
=7/7

Correct Answer: ? 2400
Explanation:
Let the money interest at 8% interest be ? P .
Then, the money interest at 10% interest = ?(4000 - P)
According to the question,
(P x 8 x 1)/100 + [(4000 - P) x 10 x 1]/100 = 352
? 8P + 40000 - 10P = 35200
? 40000 - 35200 = 2P
? P = 4800/2 = ? 2400
