Answers

Correct Answer: B Total = 18×42 = 756 First 10 = 10×40 = 400 Remaining = 356 Average = 356/8 = 45
Correct Answer: A Difference = 10800 − 9600 = 1200 (2 yrs interest) 1 yr SI = 600 Principal = 9600 − (4×600) = ₹7200
Correct Answer: C Difference = 3 parts = 36 1 part = 12 Larger = 11×12 = 132
Correct Answer: C Let speed = x 300/x − 300/(x+20) = 1 x = 60 km/h
Correct Answer: B CP of 30 = SP of 24 CP/SP = 24/30 = ⅘ Profit = 25%
Correct Answer: A 100 × 1.30 = 130 130 × 0.90 = 117 Increase = (130-117) × 100 = 17% increase
