Question : After deducing a commission of 20 %, a DVD set costs INR 9,080. Its marked price is:
Option 1: INR 11,200
Option 2: INR 11,350
Option 3: INR 10,000
Option 4: INR 10,100
Correct Answer: INR 11,350
Solution : Set Value = INR 9080 Deduction = 20% The cost of set = $\frac{100-\text{commission }\%}{100}×\text{Marked price}$ 9080 = $\frac{100-20}{100}×\text{Marked price}$ ⇒ Marked price = $\frac{9080\times 100}{80}=11350$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 11,350.
Question : A and B work together to complete the rest of the job in 7 days. However, $\frac{37}{100}$ of the job was already done. Also, the work done by A in 5 days is equal to the work done by B in 4 days. How many days would be required by the fastest worker to complete the entire work?
Option 1: 20
Option 3: 30
Option 4: 10
Correct Answer: 20
Solution : Let the total work done be $100$ units. Remaining work = $100 - \frac{37}{100}×100$ = $100-37$ = $63$ units 5 × efficiency of A = 4 × efficiency of B $\frac{\text{Efficiency of A}}{\text{Efficiency of B}}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$ Efficiency of A = $4x$ Efficiency of B
