"required difference = [ 3 ½ % of rs . 6600 ] – [ 3 1 / 3 % of rs . 6600 ] = [ ( 7 / 20 - ( 10 / 3 ) ] % of rs . 6600 = 1 / 6 % of rs . 6600 = rs . [ ( 1 / 6 ) 8 ( 1 / 100 ) * 6600 ] = rs . 11 . answer is a ."

working alone at its constant rate , machine a produces x boxes in 10 minutes and working alone at its constant rate , machine b produces 2 x boxes in 5 minutes . how many minutes does it take machines a and b , working simultaneously at their respective constant rates , to produce 7 x boxes ?
"rate = work / time given rate of machine a = x / 10 min machine b produces 2 x boxes in 5 min hence , machine b produces 4 x boxes in 10 min . rate of machine b = 4 x / 10 we need tofind the combined time that machines a and b , working simultaneouslytakeat their respective constant rates let ' s first find the combined rate of machine a and b rate of machine a = x / 10 min + rate of machine b = 4 x / 10 = 5 x / 10 now combine time = combine work needs to be done / combine rate = 7 x / 5 x * 10 = 14 min ans : d"

in a shop , the profit is 320 % of the cost . if the cost increases by 25 % but the selling price remains constant , approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit ?
"cp . = rs . 100 . = > profit = rs . 320 , s . p . = rs . 420 . new c . p . = 125 % of rs . 100 = rs . 125 new s . p . = rs . 420 . profit = rs . ( 420 - 125 ) = rs . 295 . req = ( 295 / 420 * 100 ) = = > 70 % answer a"

2 trains in same direction at 50 km / hr , 32 km / hr . a man in slower train observes 15 sec elapse before the faster train completely passed by him what is length of faster train ?
relative speed = 18 k / hr = 5 m / sec distance covered = length of faster train = 5 * 15 = 75 meters answer : b
a = 50 - 32 b = a * 1000 c = b / 3600 d = c * 15
