Q:

A man sell 35 waffers for Rs. 15 each and loses Rs. 40.4. If he sells 35 waffers for Rs. 18, how much does he loss or gain ?

A) Rs. 64 B) Rs. 52
C) Rs. 72 D) Rs. 55
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 64

Explanation:

Given Loss = Rs. 40.4
We know loss = cost price - selling price
40.4 = CP - 35(15)
=> CP = 40.4 + 525
=> CP = Rs. 565.4
Now the New selling price of waffer is Rs. 18
=> SP = 35(18) = 630
Now Gain = SP - CP = 630 -565.4 = Rs. 64.6.

Q:

A alone can do a work in 20 days. B is 125% more efficient than A. A and B started working and worked for 4 days. If C alone completed the remaining job in 22 days. How many days C alone takes to complete the entire job?

A) 30 B) 35
C) 40 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40

Explanation:
A alone can do = 20days 
 
Efficiency ratio of A & B= 4 : 5

Time required will be in ratio = 5:4

B alone will do it in =16 days

LCM of (16,20)= 80 ,
 
Assume work size of 80 units

 

1 day work of A= 4 units 1 day work of B= 5 units

 

Work done by both in 4 days= 4*(5+4)= 36 units

 

Work left= 80-36= 44 units

 

Now C takes 22 days to complete= 44 units.

 

Time taken by C alone to complete the work= 40 days
