Answer: B) 26 Explanation: Let the integer be x. Then,  x2-20x = 156   (x + 6)(x - 26) = 0   x = 26   The integer is 26.

Answer: C) 20 Explanation: Let the rquired number be 'P' According to the question, 100 x P100 = 20=> P = 20 x 100100 = 20 Hence, 100 percent of the number 20 is 20.   Now, you can also try for 20 percent of what number is 100 20 x P100 = 100=> P = 100 x 10020 = 500=> P = 500 Hence, 20 percent of the number 500 is 100.

Answer: D) Rs.5000 Explanation: Let a, b and c be the amounts invested in schemes X, Y and Z respectively. Then, As we know: Simple interest (S.I.) = PTR/100 (a × 10 × 1/100) + (b × 12 × 1/100) + (c × 15 × 1/100) = 3200 = 10a + 12b + 15c = 320000 .........(1) Now, c = 240% of b = 12b/5 .........(2) And, c = 150% of a = 3a/2 => a = 2/3 c = (2 × 12)b/(3 × 5) = 8b/5 .......(3) From (1), (2) and (3), we have 16b + 12b + 36b = 320000 => 64b = 320000 => b = 5000 ∴ Sum invested in Scheme Y = Rs.5000.

Answer: B) 30% Explanation: Let the M.R.P of an article be 100 %   Selling price of article =Rs. 17940   If he give a discount of 8 % then S.P = 92 % 92 % = 17490 100 % = 19500   Now C.P of the article is    17490 x 100/119.6 = 15000   If he did not give the discount, then    Required profit percentage =
