If a commission of 20% is given on the written price, the gain is 60%. What will be the percentage of gain if the commission is increased to 25%?

A0.5

B0.37

C0.62

D0.8

Nithin K ? Apr 2 '2018 at 21:37

Answer is : 0.5

Explanation:

Let the written price = Rs.100
commission = Rs.20
selling price = 100-20 = Rs.80

gain = 60%

cost price =$\frac{80\times100}{160}$= Rs.50

if the commission is increased to 25%,
selling price = 100-25 = Rs.75

new gain =$\frac{(75−50)\times100}{50}$=50%

 = 0.5

A1500

B1200

C1000

D1625

Nithin K ? Apr 2 '2018 at 20:15

Answer is 1200

Explanation:

  Percentage of failures = (100 − 65)% = 35%

 Let the total number of examinees be x.

Then,

 $35\text{% of x} =420 \implies \frac{35}{100} \times x = 420$

$\implies x = \Big[420 \times \frac{100}{35}\Big] =1200$

A12 days

B16 days

C14 days

D11 days

prashanth ? Dec 7 '2018 at 12:11

Answer is: [C] 14 days 

Explanation:

A can do a piece of work in 18 days,--------A's rate is 1/18 job/day
---------------------- 
B in 27 days -------------------------------B's rate is 1/27 job/day
C in 36 days.-------------------------------C's rate is 1/36 job/day
------------------------------------------------------------------------

All of them began together but A left 7 days and B left 8 days before the completion of the work. How many days in all did C put in till the entire work was finished?
--------------
Equation:
Let x be the number of days required to do the job:
(x-7)(1/18)+(x-8)(1/27)+x(1/36) = 1 job

(2x-14+x)(1/36)+(x-8)(1/27) = 1 job

3(3x-14)+4(x-8)(1/108)=1 job

(9x-42+4x-32)/(108) = 1 job

(13x-74)= 108

13x = 182

x = 14

A man lends Rs.1200 for 3 years. Apart he lends on 4% and rest on 6% and receives Rs.192 as interest. The money he lent on 6% rate is

ARs.720

BRs.840

CRs.800

DRs.515

Nithin K ? Apr 1 '2018 at 23:51

Answer is :Rs.800

Explanation

If amount lend at 4% interest = x

and at 6% interest = 1200 -x

Given, $\Big(\frac{x \times 3 \times 4}{100}\Big)+\Big(\frac{(1200-x)\times3\times6}{100}\Big)=192$

$=>\frac{12x}{100}+\frac{21600}{100}-\frac{18x}{100 }= 192$

$=>\frac{12x+21600-18x}{100} = 192$

$=> \frac{-6x+21600}{100}=192$

$=> 21600 -6x = 19200$

$=>6 x = 21600 -19200$

$=> 6x = 2400$

$=> x = 400$

$\therefore \text{ the money lent on 6% rate is } = 1200 -x$

= 1200 - 400

=800

A90 years

B18 years

C38 years

D21 years

Nithin K ? Apr 1 '2018 at 23:24

Answer is : 21 years

Explanation:

let amount be x.
Case 1 : amount becomes 2x => simple interest = x
Case 2 : amount becomes 4x => simple interest = 3x

$SI= \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$
i.e., SI ∝ T (when Rate of interest is constant)
x  ∝ 7
3x ∝ n

$\frac{x}{3x} = \frac{7}{n}$

$=> \frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{n}$

$=> n = 7 \times 3$

n =  21 years
