Given the cost price of the articles = Rs. 450

To get overall 20% gain,

Total Selling Price = (20/100) x 450 = 540

One third of the CP = 1/3 x 450 = Rs. 150

But given 1/3 of articles are sold at 10% loss

S.P of 1/3 of articles = 90% of 150

= 90 x 150/100 = 135

Then, S.P on remaining 2/3 goods must be

= 450 - 135 = 405 ...........(1)

CP on remaining goods

= 2/3 x 450 = 300 ............(2)

Profit = SP - CP = 405 - 300 = 105

Profit %  = (105/300) x 100

= 35%.

The answer here is 1.

Logic Followed in the given puzzle ::

The logic here is the number of circles in each 4 digit number mentioned.

8801 has 5

5261 has 1

and so on

Other side = d2-s2= 2254-814 = 1444 = 6 ft

  Area of closet = (6 x 4.5) sq. ft = 27 sq. ft.

The man said, "Her father is the only son of my father."

Then the woman's father and the man's is the same

=> The woman and the man are brother and sisters.

Hence, the man is the brother of the woman.

The given series is 118, 166, 190, 202, 208, ?

118

118 + 48 = 166

166 + 24 = 190

190 + 12 = 202

202 + 6 = 208

208 + 3 = 211

The pattern followed in the given figures is

One, two, three, one, two, three.....arcs get inverted sequentially. This inversion takes place in an Anti Clock Wise direction.

Hence, figure 1) will come in the next to complete the series.

The given number series is 1 8 36 ? 1100 7701

It follows a pattern that,

1

1 x 3 + 5 = 8

8 x 4 + 4 = 36

36 x 5 + 3 = 183

183 x 6 + 2 = 1100

1100 x 7 + 1 = 7701

Hence, the missing number in the given series is 183.
