Q: A Shopkeeper sells two articles at Rs.1000 each, making a profit of 20% on the first article and a loss of 20% on the second article. Find the net Profit or loss that he makes?
A.  4%
B. 5%
C. 6%
D. 8%
Solution: SP of first article = Rs.1000   Profit = 20%  CP = SP x 100100+P% = Rs. 25003 SP of Second Article = Rs.1000  Loss = 20%  CP = SP x 100100-L% = Rs. 1250   So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3   As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.   Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3)   So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%    
The correct answer is: A) 4%
Q: The reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 10.25 is
A. 197 1/2
B. 167 1/2
C.  151
D.  187 1/2
Solution: Angle traced by hour hand in 125/12 hrs = (360/12 * 125/12) = 312102       Angle traced by minute hand in 25 min = (360/60 * 25) = 1500        Reflex angle = 3600-31212-1500=3600-162102=197102

A.  Rs. 240
B.  Rs. 75
C. Rs. 125
D.  Rs. 354
Solution: The ratio of A & B investments = (3x8 + 2x4):(4x8 + 5x4) => 8:13 => 8/21 x 630 = 240.

Q: 4 men can repair a road in 7 hours. How many men are required to repair the road in 2 hours ?
A.  17 men
B.  14 men
C.  13 men
D. 16 men
Solution: M x T / W = Constantwhere, M= Men (no. of men)T= Time takenW= Work loadSo, here we applyM1 x T1/ W1 = M2 x T2 / W2Given that, M1 = 4 men, T1 = 7 hours ; T2 = 2 hours, we have to find M2 =?Note that here, W1 = W2 = 1 road, ie. equal work load.Clearly, substituting in the above equation we get, M2 = 14 men.
The correct answer is: B) 14 men
