        1. GRAVITAS~HANKER~NITROUS OXIDE

          O-O

    1. Suraj

      B. 10%
      Explanation:
      Let MP of 1 pen = Re 1
      CP of 40 pens = MP of 36 pens = Rs 36
      MP of 40 pens = Rs 40
      So after discount of 1%, SP of 40 pens = 99/100 * 40 = Rs 39.6
      So profit% = (39.6 – 36) / 36 * 100 = 10%

    2. ambika

      cp=36 sp = 39.6
      p% = 3.6/26*100=10%

  5. Suraj

    8. A can cultivate 2/5th of the land in 6 days and B can cultivate 1/3rd of the same land in 10 days. Working together A and B can cultivate 4/5th of the land in how many days?
    A) 4 days
    B) 5 days
    C) 8 days
    D) 10 days

    1. ambika

      ddd
      15*30/45=10 days

    2. Suraj

      C) 8 days
      Explanation:
      A can cultivate 2/5th of the land in 6 days, so whole land in 5/2 * 6 = 15 days.
      B can cultivate 1/3th of the land in 10 days, so whole land in 3/1 * 10 = 30 days.
      A and B together can complete whole land in 15*30/(15+30) = 10 days.
      So 4/5th land in 4/5 * 10 = 8 days

  6. Suraj

    A does half as much work as B in one sixth of the time. If together they take 10 days to complete a work, how many days shall B take to do it alone?
    A) 70
    B) 30
    C) 40
    D) 50

    1. Suraj

      C) 40
      Explanation:
      Let B do whole work in ‘x’ days.
      A does ½ work in x/6 days, so whole work in 2x/6 = x/3 days
      Together they take 10 days, so x * x/3 / (x+x/3) = 10
      Solve, x = 40 days

  7. Suraj

    Oranges are bought at 7 for Rs 3. At what rate per hundred must they be sold to gain 33%?
    A) Rs 56
    B) Rs 57
    C) Rs 58
    D) Rs 60

    1. " Born To Win "

      57?

    2. Suraj

      B) Rs 57

      7 for Rs 3, so for 1 Re oranges are 7/3
      So for Re 1 to gain 33%, number of oranges sold = 7/3 * 100/(100+33) = 100/57
      So per hundred oranges = 57 Rs

    3. ambika

      100*3*133/7*100=57

  8. Suraj

    10. The selling price of an article is marked at 20% above the cost price. At the time of selling, he allows a discount of 8%. His profit percent is:
    A. 20%
    B. 10.4%
    C. 8.6%
    D. 12%

    1. Suraj

      B. 10.4%
      Explanation:
      Use M.P. = (100 + p%)/(100 – d%) * C.P.
      MP is 20% above CP.
      120/100 C.P. = (100 + p%)/(100 – 8) * C.P.

      solveing we get
      p = 10.4%

    2. ambika

      100*6/5*92/100=110.4

  9. Suraj

    The ratio of income of A and B is 2:3. The sum of their expenditure is Rs.8000 and the amount of savings of A is equal to the amount of expenditure of B.What is the their ratio of sum of income to their sum of savings?
    A.5:3
    B.3:2
    C.4:3
    D.3:1
    E.None of these

    1. ambika

      sol??? mujhe to nhi ata ye

    2. Suraj

      Answer A.5:3
      Explanation :
      2I-E + E = 8000
      I = 4000
      Sum of their Income = 5*I = 5*4000 = 20,000
      Sum of their Savings = 20000-8000 = 12,000
      20000:12000 = 5:3

      1. Purvi

        2I-E + E = 8000
        line samaj nhi aayi

        1. ambika

          2i = sum of income
          sum of saving of one is = sum of expenditure of other so 2e taken

    A.3:5
    B.5:4
    C.4:5
    D.2:3
    E.None of these

    1. Suraj

      Answer – C.4:5
      Explanation :
      A+25/100 + B = 1.5A
      A/4 + B = 15A/10
      10A+40B/40 =60A/40
      10A+40B = 60A
      50A = 40B
      A/B = 4/5

      A. x ≤ y

      Explanation:
      7×2 – 43x + 60 = 0
      7×2 – 28x – 15x + 60 =0
      7(x-4) – 15(x-4) = 0
      x = 4, 15/7
      2y2 – 17y + 36 = 0
      2y2 – 8y – 9y + 36 = 0
      2(y-4) – 9(y-4) = 0

        means fail in only hindi=30-20=10%
        fail in only eng =45-20=25%

    After replacing an old member by a new member, it was found that the average age of four members of a family is the
    same as it was 3 year ago. What is the difference between the ages of the replaced and the new member ?

  31. After I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any manner you may take away me from that service? Thanks!

  32. Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed!
    Extremely useful information specially the remaining phase 🙂 I take care of
    such info much. I used to be looking for this particular information for a long time.
    Thank you and best of luck.

  33. I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found
    any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.

    In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful
    than ever before.
