Q:

If the cost price of 12 pens is equal to the selling price of 8 pens, the gain percent is ?

A) 12%	B) 30%
C) 50%	D) 60%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50%

Explanation:

Friends, we know we will need gain amount to get gain percent, right. So lets get gain first.

Let the cost price of 1 pen is Re 1

Cost of 8 pens = Rs 8

Selling price of 8 pens = 12

Gain = 12 - 8 = 4

Gain% = $(\frac{g a i n}{\cos t} \times 100)$ % = $(\frac{4}{8} \times 100)$ % = 50%

Q:

A mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4 : 3. If 5 liters of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 4: 5. Find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture.

A) 10	B) 12
C) 15	D) 18

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10

Explanation:

Let the quantity of alcohol and water be 4x litres and 3x litres respectively

4x/(3x+5) = 4/5

20x = 4(3x+5)

8x = 20

x = 2.5

Quantity of alcohol = (4 x 2.5) litres = 10 litres.
