The last sentence in the paragraph clearly gives support for the idea that the interest in Shakespeare is due to the development of his characters. Choice a is incorrect because the writer never makes this type of comparison. Choice c is wrong because even though scholars are mentioned in the paragraph, there is no indication that the scholars are compiling the anthology. Choice d is wrong because there is no support to show that most New Yorkers are interested in this work. There is no support for choice e either.

The price of the cashew increases by Rs.20 per kg for every year, but at the same time, 10% of the cashews are eaten by rodents every year. If the price of a 1 kg of fresh cashew is Rs.120, what is the change in his profits if he sells a sealed box after one year of storage, rather than selling it fresh ? (In Rs.)

A) Rs. 60 B) Rs. 54
C) Rs. 80 D) Rs. 75
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 60

Explanation:

Price of 1kg fresh cashew = Rs.120
Therefore, price of 10kg = Rs.120 x 10 = Rs.1200

10% of 10kg which eaten by rodents = 10 x 10/100 = 1kg.

So, End of Year he had 10kg - 1kg = 9kg

So, he sells that 9kg with Rs.20 per kg profit = 9 x 140 = 1260.

He buy 10kg wooden box with cashew for Rs.1200 and sell that for Rs. 1260

So, profit = 1260 - 1200 = Rs.60 more money he get.
