360 hai kya???MP= 400CP = 400*3/4 = 300SP Case 1 :P = SP - 300Case 2 SP = 7SP/6(SP - 300)*2 = (7SP/6 - 300)SP = 360
OA 420
Bhai aaj galat kar raho ho sab....kya chakkar hai..

New SP poocha tha...:(
360*7/6 = 420..

P.S. Aur kaun sa galat kiya hai?

yar vo Q3 ka ans hai 16.66 tumne 16 nikala

1.ABC is a triangle and D and E are points on BC and AB respectively. G is the point where AD and CE meet. What is the value of EG : GC?
I. D divides BC in the ratio of 4 : 1 and E divides AB in the ratio 2 : 3.
II. F is a point on BC such that EF is parallel to AD and BF : FD = 1 : 3.
if the question can be answered using I alone but not using II alone.
if the question can be answered using II alone but not using I alone.
if the question can be answered using either statement alone.
if the question can be answered using I and II together but not using I or II alone.

Q19
420 ?

mp = 400
cp = 400*100/133.33 = 300

116.66/100*sp - cp = 2*(sp - cp)
sp = 360
inc. sp = 116.66/100*360 = 420 ?

aaa - 1
aab - 112, 221, 110, 220
3types 3types 2types 2types
abc -120 = 4types

total = 15 types so 15 numbers

by selling 12 apples for a rupee , a man loses 20%. how many for a rupee should he sell to gain 20%.

12 apples for 1 rupee
so sp of 1 apple = 1/12
let cp of 1 apple be = x

x - 1/12/x = 20/100
x = 5/48

now suppose he sells x apples for 1 rupee to gain 20%
sp of 1 apple = 1/x

1/x - 5/48/5/48 = 20/100
x = 8 apples ?
@vbhvgupta said:

CP = 1/.8

New SP(for profit) = CP * 1.2

so 1*(.8/1.2)

= 1.5 for 12 apples so for 1 Re you need to sell 8 apples.. :)

Q22
16.66%?

sp - cp/cp / mp - sp/mp = 3/2
cp/mp = 2/3

from these two we will get --> 6sp = 5mp

% discount = mp - sp/mp = mp - 5mp/6 / mp = 6- 5/6 *100 = 1/6*100 = 16.66%

Q3
sugar is for Rs20/kg

customer ask for Rs 16/Kg
but gets Rs16/960grams

so for 1kg it would be of Rs (1000*16/960) = 16.667

so discount is of Rs 10/3 ---- > discount percentage = 16.667% (effective discount to customer)
@vbhvgupta said:
Q19
marked price Rs 400
CP = Rs 300

increased MP = 500

SPi -SPf)/SPi = .1667 --- eqaution 1

SPf - 300 = 2(SPi -300)

2SPi - SPf = 300 ------ equation 2


solving SPi = 360 and SPf = 420

Note i and f are initial and final value
