6. A can do a piece of work in 8 days which B can destroy in 3 days. A has worked for 6 days, during the last 2 days of which B has been destroying. How many days must A now work alone to complete the work?
   6(1/9) Days
   4(1/8) Days
   3(1/2) Days
   7(1/3) Days
   5(1/6) Days
   Option D
   In 6 days part of the work done by A = 6/8 = ¾
   During 2 days, part of the work destroyed by B = 2/3
   Work done = 3/4 – 2/3 = 1/12
   Remaining work = 1 – 1/12 = 11/12
   Required no of days = 11/12 × 8 = 7(1/3) Days
   

    

7. A trader sells two bullocks for Rs. 8,400 each, neither losing nor gaining in total. If he sold one of the bullocks at a gain of 20%, the other is sold at a loss of:

   12(3/8)%
   8(1/6)%
   14(2/7)%
   10(1/9)%
   Option D

   CP of first bullock = = 7000
   CP of second bullock =16800 – 7000
   Required % loss = [9800-8400]/9800*100 = 14(2/7)%
