the cost of an article was rs . 75 . the cost was first increased by 20 % and later on it was reduced by 20 % . the present cost of the article is :
solution : initial cost = rs . 75 after 20 % increase in the cost , it becomes , ( 75 + 20 % of 75 ) = rs . 90 now , cost is decreased by 20 % , so cost will become , ( 90 - 20 % of 90 ) = rs . 72 . so , present cost is rs . 72 . mind calculation method : 75 - - - - - 20 % ↑ - - → 90 - - - - - 20 % ↓ - - - - - → 72 . a...

on a trip , a cyclist averaged 8 miles per hour for the first 16 miles and 10 miles per hour for the remaining 16 miles . if the cyclist returned immediately via the same route and took a total of 6.8 hours for the round trip , what was the average speed ( in miles per hour ) for the return trip ?
"the time to go 32 miles was 16 / 8 + 16 / 10 = 2 + 1.6 = 3.6 hours . the average speed for the return trip was 32 miles / 3.2 hours = 10 mph . the answer is b ."
