Answer : 2. "20%"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 20% Explanation: Let the Cost of Production of the article = 100 Then, Labour Cost = 20 Raw Material = 10 Other Expenditure = 100 - 10 – 20 = 70 Selling Price of the article = 120 After increasing Labour and Raw material cost by 40% & 20% respectively, New Labour cost = 28 New Raw material cost = 12 New Cost of Production = 70 + 28 + 12 = 110 Then, New SP = 110% of 120 = 120 x 110/100 = 132 => New Gain = 132 - 110 = 22 => New Profit % = 22 x 100/110 = 20%

Answer : 1. "4 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4 days Explanation: Given that 6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days 26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days As the work done is equal, 10(6M + 8B) = 2(26M + 48B) 60M + 80B = 52M + 96B => M = 2B => B = M/2 ……(1) Now Put (1) in 15M + 20B => 15M + 10M = 25M Now, 6M + 8B in 10 days => (6M + 4M) 10 = 100M Then D(25M) = 100M => D = 4 days.
