A) 10 yrs B) 11 yrs
C) 12 yrs D) 13 yrs

A) 8 : 62.5 B) 55 : 8
C) 8 : 65 D) 64.4 : 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8 : 62.5

Explanation:

                      Article I                   Article II
                         -20                         25%
                                        5%
                         20%                       25%
                     

                          4              :              5

Now, Selling of first article = (4-20%) = 0.8

Selling of second article = (5+25%) =  6.25

Q:

Sixty men can stitch 150 shirts in 30 days working 8 hours a day. In how many days can 35 men stitch 200 shirts working 6 hours a day ?

A) 87.5 B) 89
C) 91.5 D) 93.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 91.5

Explanation:

We have M1 D1 H1 / W1 = M2 D2 H2 / W2 (Variation rule)
(60 x 30 x 8)/ 150 = (35 x D2 x 6) / 200
D2 = (60 x 30 x 8 x 200) / (150 x 35 x 6) => D2 = 91.42 days =~ 91.5 days.
