Answer: B) Rs. 420 Explanation: As given in the question, Marked price is 25% more than the Cost price. => C.P of the article = 34 x 400 = 300  Now,  Let the original S.P of the article be Rs. P Now the new S.P = P + 16.666 +13.333300 x P  => S.P = 7P6 According to the question, 7P6 - 300 = 2P - 300 => 5P = 1800 => P = Rs. 360 Hence, the increased S.P = 360 x 7/6 = Rs. 420.

Find the original wage bill if the present bill is Rs 5000 ?Ratio of increase of wages = 22:25Ratio of decrease of labourers = 15:11Compound ratio of wages of labourers = 22 x 15 : 25 x 11 = 330:275Final bill = Rs. 5000For 275 ratio wages = Rs. 5000For 1 ratio wages = 5000/275For 330 ratio wages = 5000/275 x 330 = Rs. 6000

Answer: A) Arithmetic and Control unit Explanation:

Answer: B) 20 days Explanation: (5m + 9w)10 = (6m + 12w)8  => 50m + 90w = 48w + 96 w    => 1m = 3w 5m + 9w = 5m + 3m = 8m   8 men can do the work in 10 days. 3m +3w = 3m + 1w = 4m So, 4 men can do the work in (10 x 8)/4 = 20 days.

Answer: D) 8 hrs 15 min Explanation: A can write in 1hour = 32/6 pages Similarly, B in 1 hour = 40/5 pages Together (A+B) in 1 hour = 32/6 + 40/5 = 40/3 So, A+B write 40/3 pages in 1 hour A+B write 110 pages in (3/40) x 110 Hours = 8 hours 15 min.
