Everytime he sells out only 40 litres of petrol(pure or impure). After replacing the petrol with kerosen 4th time, the total amount of kerosene in the mixture is

C) 118.08L	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 118.08L

Explanation:

The amount of petrol left after 4 operations

= $200 \times {(1 - \frac{40}{200})}^{4}$

= $200 \times {(\frac{4}{5})}^{4}$

= $200 \times (\frac{256}{625})$

The product of two positive numbers is p. If each of the numbers is increased by 2, the new product is how much greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers ?

A) p times	B) 2p times
C) (p + 4) times	D) (2p + 3) times

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) (p + 4) times

Explanation:

Let the two no's be a and b;
Given product of the no's is p = ab;
If the each nos is increased by 2 then the new product will be
(a+2)(b+2) = ab + 2a + 2b + 4
= ab + 2(a+b) + 4
= p + 2(a+b) + 4
Hence the new product is (p+4) times greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers.
