Let C1 be the cost price of the first article and C2 be the cost price of the second article.
Let the first article be sold at a profit of 22%, while the second one be sold at a loss of 8%.

We know, C1 + C2 = 600.
The first article was sold at a profit of 22%. Therefore, the selling price of the first article = C1 + (22/100)C1 = 1.22C1
The second article was sold at a loss of 8%. Therefore, the selling price of the second article = C2 - (8/100)C2 = 0.92C2.

The total selling price of the first and second article = 1.22C1 + 0.92C2.

As the merchant did not make any profit or loss in the entire transaction, his combined selling price of article 1 and 2 is the same as the cost price of article 1 and 2.

Therefore, 1.22C1 + 0.92C2 = C1+C2 = 600
As C1 + C2 = 600, C2 = 600 - C1. Substituting this in 1.22C1 + 0.92C2 = 600, we get
1.22C1 + 0.92(600 - C1) = 600
or 1.22C1 - 0.92C1 = 600 - 0.92*600
or 0.3C1 = 0.08*600 = 48
or C1 = 48/(0.3) = 160.
If C1 = 160, then C2 = 600 - 160 = 440.
The item that is sold at loss is article 2. The selling price of article 2 = 0.92*C2 = 0.92*440 = 404.80.

The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 hours (Since between 11 and 1, they
coincide only once, i.e., at 12 o'clock).

The hands overlap about every 65 minutes, not every 60 minutes.
The hands coincide 22 times in a day.

let the radius of the pool be Rft

Radius of the pool including the wall = (R+4)ft

Area of the concrete wall = πR+42-R2=πR+4+RR+4-R = 8πR+2 sq feet

=> 8πR+2 = 1125πR2 =>11R2 =200R+2

Radius of the pool R = 20ft

$$\begin{gathered} 1936 + 529 = ?2 + 256 \\ 2465 = ?2 + 256 \\ ?2 = 2465 - 256 \\ ?2 = 2209 \\ ?=47 \end{gathered}$$
