Q:

A shopkeeper sells two articles at Rs.1000 each, making a profit of 30% on the first article and a loss of 20% on the second article. Find the net profit or loss that he makes ?

A) 0.85 % B) 0.95 %
C) 1.0 % D) 1.3 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0.95 %

Explanation:

SP of first article = 1000
Profit = 30%
CP = (SP)x[100/(100+P)] = 10000/13

SP of second article = 1000
Loss = 20%
CP = (SP)x[100/(100-L)] = 5000/4 = 1250

Total SP = 2000

Total CP = 10000/13 + 1250 = 2019.23

CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.

Loss = CP-SP = 2019.23 - 2000 = 19.23
Loss Percent = [(19.23)/(2019.23)]x100 = 0.95 %.

A) 88572 B) 77854
C) 99584 D) 55654
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 88572

Explanation:

Given a secret is told to 3 persons in 3 minutes.
And if the process continues with each person saying 3 other persons,
In 30 minutes => the rocess for 10 times because each person time is 3 minutes.
Required number of persons = 3 + 32 + 33 + .... + 39 + 310

 

Now it forms a geometric progression,

 

Sum to n terms is S = arn - 1r - 1

 

Here a = 3, r = 3

 
=> 59048 x 3 /2

 

= 88572.

A) 12 B) 24
C) 36 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24

Explanation:

Sum of Interior angle is 180 .
and it is given that interior angle is 150 more than exterior,
so let exterior angle is x then interior will be x+150

now , interior + exterior =180
x+150+x=180
x=15

now , number of sides of polygon = 360 / exterior angle
n = 360 / 15
n = 24
