CGL 2012 Tier 2 Preparations and Results

richie, a bar musician was broke so he sold his guitar for $144 and earned as much profit % as was the CP of the guitar in dollars. After few months, when he had the money he brought the guitar back at discount in dollars (on earlier SP) equal to half of his profit % in earlier transaction. By what % was the second CP more than the first CP?

Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon flying? The same principle that
keeps food frozen in the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows hot air balloons to fly.
It's a very basic principle: Hot air rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air in the
grocery store freezer settles down around the food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up,
keeping the balloon floating above the ground. In order to understand more about how this
principle works in hot air balloons, it helps to know more about hot air balloons themselves.
A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the burner, and the envelope. The
basket is where passengers ride. The basket is usually made of wicker. This ensures that it will be comfortable and add little extra weight. The burner is positioned above the passenger's
heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air inside the envelope. The envelope is the
colorful fabric balloon that holds the hot air. When the air inside the envelope is heated, the
balloon rises.
The pilot can control the up-and-down movements of the hot air balloon by regulating the
heat in the envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope. When the pilot is ready to land, the air in the balloon is allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than air. This makes the balloon descend.
Before the balloon is launched, the pilot knows which way the wind is blowing. This
means that she has a general idea about which way the balloon will go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control the direction that the balloon flies while in flight. This is because the air above the ground is sectioned into layers in which the direction of the wind may be different. So even though the pilot can't steer the balloon, she can fly or higher or lower into a different layer of air. Some days the difference between the direction of the wind between layers is negligible. But other days the difference is so strong that it can actually push the balloon in a completely different direction!

80 rs first CP

144 pe 40% discount = 86.4 rs

so 6.4 diffrence = 8%..........
