👆Ans. B | Explanation:👆
Let store A has x books.
Then, books in store B = (2/5) x
& Books in store C = (2/5) x × 2/5 = 4x/25
According to the question,
x – 4x/25 = 2100
or 21x/25 = 2100
or x = 2500
Now, Number of books in store B = (2/5) x = (2/5) × 2500 = 1000

👆Ans. C | Explanation:👆
According to the question,
Quantity of herb X in 50 g of medicine = (40/100) × 50 = 20 g
Let x g of herb X is further mixed in the medicine.
Then, [(20 + x)/(50 + x)] × 100 = 84
Or 2000 + 100x = 4200 + 84x
Or 16x = 2200
Or x = 2200/16
Or x = 137.5 g

👆Ans. B | Explanation:👆
The hands of a clock move in a circular fashion and hence the minute hand in question can be considered as radius (r) of the circle it draws.
In 60 minutes, the minute hand covers a full circle, i.e. 360°.
Therefore, in 20 minutes, this hand would cover (360°/60) × 20° = 120°
Area swept by the minute hand = [θ/360°] × πr2 (here, r is the radius of the circle)
= [120°/360°] × (22/7) × 14 × 14
= 616/3 square feet.
