Answer : 1. "Rs. 620"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 620 Explanation: Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P) According to the data given C.P = S.P => Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500 => 30P = 105000 => P = 3500 Required difference between selling prices = Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86] = 4060-3440 = Rs. 620

Answer: B) 40 yrs Explanation: Let the present ages of Ajay and Vijay be 'A' and 'V' years respectively. => A - 8 = 4/3 (V - 8) and A + 8 = 6/5 (V + 8) => 3/4(A - 8) = V - 8 and 5/6(A + 8) = V + 8 V = 3/4 (A - 8) + 8 = 5/6 (A + 8) - 8 => 3/4 A - 6 + 8 = 5/6 A + 20/3 - 8 => 10 - 20/3 = 10/12 A - 9/12 A => 10/3 = A/12 => A = 40.
