Q:

4 men and 6 women can complete a work in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women can complete it in 10 days. In how many days will 10 women complete it ?

A) 40 days B) 36 days
C) 32 days D) 34 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 40 days

Explanation:

Let 1 man's 1 day work = x and 1 woman's 1 day work = y.
Then, 4x + 6y = 1/8 and 3x + 7y = 1/10
Solving these two equations, we get:
x = 11/400 and y = 1/400
10 woman's 1 day work = (1/400 x 10) = 1/40.

Hence, 10 women will complete the work in 40 days.

Q:

A man buys an item at Rs. 1200 and sells it at the loss of 20 percent. Then what is the selling price of that item

A) Rs. 660 B) Rs. 760
C) Rs. 860 D) Rs. 960
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 960

Explanation:

Here always remember, when ever x% loss,
it means S.P. = (100 - x)% of C.P
when ever x% profit,
it means S.P. = (100 + x)% of C.P

So here will be (100 - x)% of C.P.
= 80% of 1200
= (80/100) * 1200
= 960
