my answer is 780..puys pls confirm your soln
My take is 800.
First thing for such questions is to make them look simpler.
23*1/13 = 300/13 %
So, profit earned on Rs. 1300 = 1300 * (300/13)*(1/100) = 300
Now, let x be price of cow. So, price of calf = (1300-x)
the avg salary per head of all employees of a company is rs 600. the avg salary of 120 officers is Rs 4000. if the avg salary per head of the rest of the employees is rs.560, find the total number of workers..

what would be the alligation approach??
It is coming out to be (10200+120)..Avg. salary = 600. So, 120 people have excess of 3400 salary. This is to be nullified by rest of the employees.. say their count is 'x'.
So, x*(-40) + 120*3400 = 0 => x = 120*3400/40 = 10200
hursh Sarma has salary of Rs 10800/mnth. In the 1st mnth of the year, he spends 40% of his income on food , 50% on clothing and saves 11.11 % of what he spent.In the next 2 mnths, he saves 9.09% of what he has spent (spending 38.33% of his income on food). In the fourth mnth , he gets an increment of 11.11% on his salary and spends every single paise on celebrating his raise. But from the 5th mnth onwards good sense prevails on him and he saves 12.5%,15%,20%,10%,8.33%, 12.5%, 15% and 20% on his new income per mnth. Find the ratio between the sum of savings for the 2 mnths having highest savings to the sum of the savings for the two mnths having lowest savings. a) 2.66666 b) 5.33333 c) 8 d) None of these

Nothig is wrong Jain bhai.. In my solution, x is number of workes.. While in your solution, X is number of total employees..
So, if you add 120 to 10200, you will get 10320..
I did not complete solution there as options are no where near to it.. So, either options are mistyped or some information is missing.. Anyway.. I edited and added a note there..

look ur cost is 1300 and earned amount is 1600 (total profit 23*1/13 of 1300) So go by options : cow 25% on 800 gives u 1000 and calf 20% on 500 gives u 600..easy rite? 😃

hi, see it this way..u have drawn two cards of spade (considering that the 3rd card is still in); so ur left with 11 spades in a pack of 50 cards. now the lost card is still in the pack and if u have to lose the spade card then the prob = 11/50. makes sense? 😁
puys there is no error in typing..u can also check alligation chapter question number 8...and answer given is 1020...we all are getting 10320 then that must be the correct answer..
just saw in my book (Arun sharma 3rd edition)..the answer given is 10320. they may have done the correction or if i have an old book then a typo later 😁

Consider that you hv a deck of 50 cards with only 11 Spades in it. Then the probablility reqd is of picking up one of the 11 cards out of the 50 cards.
