👆Ans. B | Explanation:
Let the original price of each pair of shoe be Rs. x.
According to the question,
20x = 22(x – 25) + 70
or, 20x = 22x – 550 + 70
or, 22x – 20x = 480
or, 2x = 480
or, x = Rs. 240
So, the amount of money that street vendor originally had = 20x = 20 × 240 = Rs. 4800

👆Ans. C | Explanation:
Let, speed of stream = x km/hr.
So, speed of boat = 2x km/hr.
According to the question,
[60/(2x + x)] + [60/(2x - x)] = 4
Or (60/3x) + (60/x) = 4
Or (20/x) + (60/x) = 4
Or 80/x = 4
Or x = 20 km/hr

👆Ans. C | Explanation:
A scored 60 more marks than B. So, if marks of B are b, then marks of A will be b + 60.
Now, B scored 10% less marks than A. That is, marks of B are 90% of the marks of A.
So, b = 90% of (b + 60)
Or 10b = 9b + 540
Or b = 540
So, B scored 540 marks.

👆Ans. D | Explanation:
Let initial units of work = 8 units
Out of which, 5 units are completed in 25 days.
So, the number of days that the man takes in completing one unit of work = 25/5 = 5 days
Now, amount of new work = 8 + 50% of 8 = 8 + 4 = 12 units
Work remaining = 12 – 5 = 7 units
So, the time taken by the man to complete the rest of the work = 7 × 5 = 35 days

The rest of the four positions may be filled by the remaining 4 digits as follows:
* Tens place in 4 ways
* Hundreds place in 3 ways
* Thousands place in 2 ways
* Ten Thousands place in 1 way

53%
(b) 48% of the total families read only one newspaper.
35%
(c) 60% of the total families read at least two newspapers.

(d) 88% of the total families read at least one newspaper.
👍5
👆Ans. B | Explanation:
Let total number of families be 100.
Then, number of families reading only 2 newspapers = 20
Number of families reading 3 newspapers = 40% of (100 – 20) = 40% of 80 = 32
Number of families reading only 1 newspaper = 100 – (20 + 32) = 100 – 52 = 48
Thus, 48% of the total families read only one newspaper.
