Q:

How many four digits numbers greater than 6000 can be made using the digits 0, 4, 2, 6 together with repetition.

A) 64 B) 63
C) 62 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 63

Explanation:

Given digits are 0, 4, 2, 6

Required 4 digit number should be greater than 6000.

So, first digit must be 6 only and the remaining three places can be filled by one of all the four digits.

This can be done by

1x4x4x4 = 64

Greater than 6000 means 6000 should not be there.

Hence, 64 - 1 = 63.

Q:

In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit ?

A) 60% B) 50%
C) 70% D) 45%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 70%

Then, Profit = Rs. 320,
S.P. = Rs. 420.

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs. 420.

Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295

Required percentage = (295/420) * 100
= 70%(approx)
