Answer : 4. "Data is not sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Data is not sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years. Then, P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108 ⇒2PT= 10800 ...... (1) And, P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180 ⇒2PR = 18000 ......(2) Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of pSo, the data is not sufficient.

If he uses 1.25 lt every day, in how many days it will be consumed?We considered 1.25 lt here because it’s 25% more than 1 lt. The answer would be 20/1.25=16 days.
