A) 5 kmph B) 6 kmph
C) 7.5 kmph D) 8 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5 kmph

Distance travelled by bus in 10 min with 20 kmph == Distance travelled by man in 8 min with (20 + p) kmph in opposite direction

=> 200 = 160 + 8p

=> p = 40/8 = 5 kmph.

C) Both are same D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 70% is better

Then 100 x 70/100 = 70
=> price after discount = 100-70 = Rs.30

2nd CASE:

Then 100 x 40/100 = 40
=> price after discount = 100-40 = Rs.60
then
60 x 30/100 = 18
=> price after 2 consequent discount = 60-18 = Rs.42

=>from 1 and 2 cases, 70% discount is better.
