Answer : 1. "90%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 90% Explanation: Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively. Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit. Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively. Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit. % Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.

Answer : 4. "Rs. 32,292"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Rs. 32,292 Explanation: Almond Selling price = CP(1 + P%/100) => CP = 20000, SP = 23000 => 23000 = 20000 (1 + P/100) => P% = 100(23000/20000 - 1) = 15 Then, Olive's P% = 30% SP for Olive = CP for Sarah = 23000(1 + 30/100) = 29900 Now Sarah wants to earn profit of 8% => Sp for Sarah = 29900(1 + 8/100) = Rs. 32,292.
