A) Rs. 620 B) Rs. 654
C) Rs. 725 D) Rs. 747
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 620

Explanation:

Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P
and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P)

According to the data given
C.P = S.P
=> Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500
=> 30P = 105000
=> P = 3500

Required difference between selling prices
= Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86]
= 4060-3440
= Rs. 620

Answer

As the pipes are operating alternatively, thus their 2 minutes job is = 14 + 16 = 512 


In the next 2 minutes the pipes can fill another 512 part of cistern. 


Therefore, In 4 minutes the two pipes which are operating alternatively will fill 512 + 512 = 56Remaining part = 1 - 56 = 16 


Pipe A can fill 14 of the cistern in 1 minute
