Let wholesaler dealers marked price = 100%, Retailer's C.P = 80%
And the retailer sells at 5% less than the marked price => S.P = 95%
If S.P of 95% of the retailer costs Rs.19 to customer,so its C.P of 80% will cost 80 x 19/95 = 16
Profit made by the retailer = 19-16 =  Rs.3

Let rate = R% and time = R years.

Then, 1200×R×R100=432

 12R2=432

=> R = 6.

As Microphone makes sound louder similarly Microscope makes the object magnified.

Hence, Microphone : Loud :: Microscope : Magnify.

C.I = P1+r100t-1

594.5 = 58001+r1002-1

 594.55800+1=1+r1002

r100=1.05-1=0.05=> r = 5 % .

2nd Jan 1901 means
(1900 years and 2 day)
Now, 1600 years have 0 odd day
300 years have 1 odd day
2 days has 2 odd day
Total no. of odd days = 0 + 1 + 2 = 3 days
Hence, the day on 2nd Jan 1901 was Wednesday.

Since he is telling about the thing that had happened in past.

Given, y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y
yz = xy + x2 - yz - xz ....(1)
Also xy = yx-z ⇒x2 -xz = y2 ....(2)
Using (1) and (2), we get yz = xy - yz + y2
2yz = xy + y2
2z = x + y
Only option (B) satisfies the equation.
