A) Rs. 400 B) Rs. 420

121100 C.P  -  125100  x 91100 x C.P = 29121100 - 125 x 91100 x 100 C.P = 29(12100 - 125 x 91) C.P = 290000(12100 - 11375) C.P = 290000725 C.P = 290000C.P = 400

Q:

The difference between two numbers is 25. The smaller number is 1/6th of the larger number. What is the value of the smaller number?

A) 10 B) 5
C) 50 D) 25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5

Explanation:

Let the larger number be p

Then, smaller number = 1/6 x p = p/6

Given difference between two numbers = 25

p - p/6 = 25

5p/6 = 25

5p = 150

p = 30

Then, p/6 = 30/6 = 5

Hence, larger number = 30 and smaller number = 5 which makes the difference = 25.
