Answer» Solution Clearly each statement alone is not sufficient. I & II : Let CP = 100x => SP = 120X[SINCE, PROFIT = 20%] Profit = 120x - 100x = 20x = 1200=> x = 60 SP = 7200 Thus, I & II are sufficient. I & III : CP = 15000 Profit% = 20% => SP = 18000 Thus, I & III are sufficient. II & III : CP = 15000 Profit = 1200 => SP = 15000+1200 = 16200 Thus, II & III are sufficient. Therefore, any two of the three STATEMENTS is sufficient.

Answer»

Solution

Clearly each statement alone is not sufficient.

I & II : Let CP = 100x

=> SP = 120X[SINCE, PROFIT = 20%]

Profit = 120x - 100x = 20x = 1200=> x = 60

SP = 7200

Thus, I & II are sufficient.

I & III : CP = 15000

Profit% = 20%

=> SP = 18000

Thus, I & III are sufficient.

II & III : CP = 15000

Profit = 1200

=> SP = 15000+1200 = 16200

Thus, II & III are sufficient.

Therefore, any two of the three STATEMENTS is sufficient.

Answer» Solution Cost per square metre : Rate of painting = 3200 Rate of tiling = $\frac{125}{100} * 3200$ = 4000 Rate of carpeting = $\frac{120}{100} * 4000$ = 4800 Area of 4 walls of the room = 2 * 27 * (21 + 42) = 3402 SQ. metre Area of the floor = 21 * 42 = 882 sq. metre => Cost of painting = (3402 + 882) * 3200 = Rs. 13708800 Carpeting = 4800 * 882 = Rs. 4233600 Decoration = 4233600 * 14 = Rs. 59270400 Electrification = $\frac{75}{100}$ * 4233600 = Rs. 3175200 $\THEREFORE$ TOTAL expenditure = 13708800 + 4233600 + 59270400 + 3175200 = Rs. 80388000

508.

Answer»

Solution

Cost per square metre :

Rate of painting = 3200

Rate of tiling = $\frac{125}{100} * 3200$ = 4000

Rate of carpeting = $\frac{120}{100} * 4000$ = 4800

Area of 4 walls of the room = 2 * 27 * (21 + 42) = 3402 SQ. metre

Area of the floor = 21 * 42 = 882 sq. metre

=> Cost of painting = (3402 + 882) * 3200 = Rs. 13708800

Carpeting = 4800 * 882 = Rs. 4233600

Decoration = 4233600 * 14 = Rs. 59270400

Electrification = $\frac{75}{100}$ * 4233600 = Rs. 3175200

$\THEREFORE$ TOTAL expenditure = 13708800 + 4233600 + 59270400 + 3175200 = Rs. 80388000
