Q:

Ram sell his goods 25% cheaper than Shyam and 25% dearer than Bram. How much % is Bram's good cheaper than Shyam ?

A) 60% B) 40%
C) 50% D) 30%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40%

Explanation:

Lets say shyam sells at 100,

 

Since Ram sells 25% cheaper than Shyam,

 

Therefor Ram sells at less than 25% of100 or 75 rs.

 

Ram sells 25% dearer than Bram or 125% of Ram =100% of Bram or

 

125% of x (say x price of bram )=75rs.
or 100% of x =60rs.
hence price of bram is 60rs.

 

now Bram's good is cheaper than Shyam's as (100-60)x100/100% or 40%.

 

Hence Brams Good is 40% cheaper than that of Shyam's good.

Q:

A mixture of 150 liters of wine and water contains 20% water. How much more water should be added so that water becomes 25% of the new mixture?

A) 10 liters B) 20 liters
C) 30 liters D) 40 liters
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 liters

Explanation:

Number of liters of water in 125 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 1/5 of 150 = 30 liters

 

Let us Assume that another 'P' liters of water are added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture. So, the total amount of water becomes (30 + P) and the total volume of the mixture becomes (150 + P)

 

Thus, (30 + P) = 25% of (150 + P)

 

Solving, we get P = 10 liters
