Answer : 1. "4%"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 4% Explanation: SP of first article = Rs.1000   Profit = 20%  CP = SP x 100100+P% = Rs. 25003 SP of Second Article = Rs.1000  Loss = 20%  CP = SP x 100100-L% = Rs. 1250   So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3   As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.   Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3)   So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%

Answer : 4. "1.5 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 1.5 kmph Explanation: Speed of Boy is B = 4.5 kmph Let the speed of the stream is S = x kmph Then speed in Down Stream = 4.5 + x speed in Up Stream = 4.5 - x As the distance is same, => 4.5 + x = (4.5 - x)2 => 4.5 + x = 9 -2x 3x = 4.5 x = 1.5 kmph
