A. 5, 13 B. 5, 10 C. 6, 10 D. None of these - ANSWER-C Explanation: Assume that he bought b, brown sharpeners and w, white sharpeners and the cost of brown sharpener is x and white sharpener is x + 1 So w(x+1) + bx = 100 w + b = 18 b = 18 - w Substituting in equation 1, we get w(x+1) + (18 -w)x = 100 so w + 18 x = 100 Take option 1: If white sharpners are 13, x = (100 - 13) /18 = 4. Option 2, If white sharpeners are 10, x = (100 - 10)/18 = 5 So white sharpeners cost is

A. 44 B. 176 C. 88 D. 99 - ANSWER-Size of each tiles = (22) square inch = 4 square inch Since 1 inch gap needs to be kept with the floor, so the height of floor that needs to be covered with square mirror tiles is 8 inch. Size of each wall = (822) square inch = 176 square inch So the number of mirror tiles required per wall = 176/4 tiles = 44 tiles Number of tiles required to cover both walls = (44*2) tiles = 88 tiles.

C. 60 grams D. 96 grams E. 120 grams - ANSWER-D Explanation: As per the question There are 5 portions ( 4 small portions of equal size of one half and one half of original ice-cream brick.) 1 small portion = 12 grams 4 small portion = 412 = 48grams Therefore weight of original ice-cream brick = 482 = 96 grams A shopkeeper will earn 12% profit on an item after giving 20% discount to the customer. By what percentage should the market price price be increased to get to label price? - ANSWER-40% In Profit and Loss problems always assume some values. Its the fastest way to solve problems. In problems having marked price, assume cost price to be 100. CP = 100. There is a gain of 19 %. So, selling price would be 119 SP = 119. There is 15 % discount on marked price. So 119 is actually 85 % of the marked price. To get marked price -> 119 -> 85 ? -> 100 Cross multiply. =(119 * 100)/ = (119 * 20)/ = 7 * 20 = 140 MP = 140 Above cost price = 140 -100 = 40 A synonym of bantering is: A. Chasing B. Chastising C.

B. 32
C. 31
D. 30 - ANSWER-B
Explanation: Given 9x + 11y = 304. x = (304?11y)/9 = 33 + (7?2y)/9 + y So y = - 1 satisfies. Now x = 35, Now other solutions of this equation will be like this. Increase or decrease x by 11, decrease or increase y by 9. So we have to maximize x. next solution is x = 24 and y =
