Answer: D) Rs. 500 Explanation: Watson bought the book for Rs. 240 and sold to Johny at a profit of 50%. S.P = C.P(1 + P%/100) => S.P for Watson = C.P for Johny = 240(1 + 50/100) = 240 x 1.5 = Rs. 360 Let Johny quoted the marked price of the book as Rs. M We know, SP = M.P(1 - Discount(%)/100) Here discount = 10% to Shekar, S.P for Johny = M(1 - 10/100) = 0.9M But Johny want to earn 25% profit, => S.P = C.P(1 + P%/100) => 0.9M = 360(1 + 25/100) => M = (360x1.25)/0.9 => M = Rs. 500 Therefore, Johny should quote Rs. 500 as the marked price of the book to get 25% profit and allowing 10% discount to Shekar.

Answer: B) 41 Explanation: Given P = 54 and M = 80 According to the question, Let ‘A’ years ago, M = 3P => M - A/P - A = 3 => 80 - A = 3(54 - A) => 80 - A = 162 - 3A => 2A = 82 => A = 41 Therefore, A = 41 years ago Sweety’s mother was 3 times of Sweety’s age. Hence, at the age S = 13 and M = 39.
