Selling PRICE of Article = RS. 1000

For 1st merchant, 10% profit is on C.P or C.P + Profit = S.P

THEREFORE 1.1 * C.P = Rs.1000 or C.P = Rs. 909.1 and Profit = Rs. 90.9

For 2ND merchant, 10% profit is on S.P i.e. Profit = 0.10 * Rs 1000 = Rs. 100

so the profit of 2nd merchant is higher than the 1st merchant by Rs. (100 – 90.9) = Rs. 9.1 (approx.).

Let the nos be: abc

As sum of the digit is 17. Therefore, a+b+c=17----(1)

Also sum of SQUARE of digits is 109 i.e a^2+b^2+c^2=109----(2)

Also, (100a+10b+c) – 495 = (100C+10b+a)

or, (100a – a) + (10b – 10b) + (c – 100c) = 495

or, 99 (a-c) =495 or (a - c) = 495

The possible COMBINATIONS are (6,1) (7,2) (8,3), (9,4)

For 1st combination (6,1); b = (17 – 6 - 1) = 10 which is not possible

For 2nd combination (7,2); b = (17 – 7 - 2) = 8 but a^2+b^2+c^2 =! 109 so not possible

For 3rd combination (8,3) ; b = (17 – 8 - 3) = 6 also a^2+b^2+c^2 = 109 so it is possible

so,863 is the answer.

Assume tank capacity is 45 Liters.

Given that the FIRST pipe fills the tank in 9 HOURS. So its capacity is 45 / 9 = 5 Liters/ Hour. 

Second pipe fills the tank in 5 hours. So its capacity is 45 / 5 = 9 Liters/Hour. 

If both pipes are opened TOGETHER, then combined capacity is 14 liters/hour. 

To fill a tank of capacity 45 liters, both pipes takes 45 / 14 = 3.21 Hours.

Let after t time two cars will met.

So A will TRAVEL distance of 40t with 40kmph

B will travel the distance of 60t with 60kmph

And ALSO A is ahead 80 km (40*2=80) from B

=> 60t - 40t = 80 => t = 4hrs

Also time taken by B to COVER 9kms more is 9/60 = 9mins

Additional distance is 9 min

For additional time= (9/20) *60=27 min

So correct answer = 4hrs 27 min

= 4 (27/60) hrs = 4.45 hrs

Let after t time two cars will met.

So A will travel distance of 40t with 40kmph

B will travel the distance of 60t with 60kmph

And also A is ahead 80 km (40*2=80) from B

=> 60t - 40t = 80 => t = 4hrs

Also time taken by B to cover 9kms more is 9/60 = 9mins

Additional distance is 9 min

For additional time= (9/20) *60=27 min

So correct answer = 4hrs 27 min

= 4 (27/60) hrs = 4.45 hrs

Cost price: Rs 1920

PROFIT = 20% = Rs 1920 x 0.20 = 384

THEREFORE, SELLING Price = Rs 1920 + 384 = 2304.

Cost price: Rs 1920

Profit = 20% = Rs 1920 x 0.20 = 384

Therefore, Selling Price = Rs 1920 + 384 = 2304.

In DECIMAL number system; 137 + 276 = 413 but here its 435 (> 413) so the base system should be less than 10 and as the HIGHEST digit in the sum is 7 so the base must be greater than 7.

Add the LSB; 7+6 = 5 (there must be a carry) 

So 7 + 6 = 5 + 8(1 carry is forwarded) and HENCE the it is in octal number system.

Therefore: 731 + 672 = 1623.

Therefore: 731 + 672 = 1623.

As A and B completed a work together in 5 days

Work done by them in a day (A + B), 1/5

with TWICE the speed of A and half the speed of B , they COMPLETES the work in 4 days,

so, their work per day (2A + B/2) = 1/4

by solving both the eqns: 2(2A+B/2) – (A+B) = 3A = 2*1/4 – 1/5 = 3/10

or 1-day work of A = 1/10

so A ALONE can complete the work in 10 days.

As A and B completed a work together in 5 days

Work done by them in a day (A + B), 1/5

with twice the speed of A and half the speed of B , they completes the work in 4 days,

so, their work per day (2A + B/2) = 1/4

by solving both the eqns: 2(2A+B/2) – (A+B) = 3A = 2*1/4 – 1/5 = 3/10

or 1-day work of A = 1/10

so A alone can complete the work in 10 days.

As B moves 3 steps forward and then 1 step BACKWARD so in total 4 seconds he moves only 2 steps forward so in 116 seconds he moves 58 steps forward now in next 2 seconds he moves 2 steps so in 118 seconds he moves total 60 steps forward.

So no. of steps required to reach the top of the ESCALATOR is 60.

now LET d escalator moves a steps per second so in 4 seconds B moves 2 steps (3steps forward and 1 step backward)in these 4 sec. escalator moves 4a step so in 4 sec. B moves a total of 2+4a step.

so in 40 second total move=10*(2+4a)

so, 10*(2+4a) =60

hence a=1step/sec.

Diameter = 50 CM hence radius(R) = 50/2 cm

THEREFORE; Circumference of cycle = 2*22/7*r

As number of revolutions per minute = 420

Therefore; Speed = 2*(22/7) *[25/(100*1000)]*60*420 km/hr

= 396/10 km/hr

= 39.6 km/hr.

Diameter = 50 cm hence radius(r) = 50/2 cm

Therefore; Circumference of cycle = 2*22/7*r

As number of revolutions per minute = 420

Therefore; Speed = 2*(22/7) *[25/(100*1000)]*60*420 km/hr

= 396/10 km/hr

= 39.6 km/hr.

As the square of SUM of digits is 18 more than that of the number, so the square of the sum of digit must be greater than or equal to 28 (18+10 as 10 is the smallest 2-digit number) and should be less than or equal to 117 (18+99 as 99 is the largest two-digit number)

So the possible squares are:

36 and hence the possible number can be (36-18) =18 or (1+8)2 = 81 =! 36 and hence not possible.

49 and hence the possible number can be (49-18) =31 or (3+1)2 = 16 =! 49 and hence not possible.

64 and hence the possible number can be (64-18) =46 or (4+6)2 = 100 = 81 =! 64 and hence not possible.

81 and hence the possible number can be (81-18) =63 or (6+3)2 = 81 = 81 and hence possible.

100 and hence the possible number can be (100-18) =82 or (8+2)2 = 100 = 100 and hence not possible.

So only 2 possible values i.e. 63 and 82.

∴ ∠C = 180° - 65° = 115°

∠B + ∠C = 140°

∴ ∠B = 140° - 115° = 25°

The usual WAY to solve these type of questions is to put x = 0 once and find y coordinate. This would represent the point where the line cuts the Y axis.

Similarly put y = 0 once and find x coordinate. This would represent the point where the line cuts the X axis. Then join these points and you will GET the GRAPH of the line.

So when we put x = 0 we get y = 4.

When we put y = 0 we get x = 6.

So when we join these points we see that we get a line in 1ST quadrant, which when extended both sides would go to 4th and 2nd quadrants.
