Answer :
Explanation :
Out of 4 fruits, any 3 are chosen by 4 families.So the combinations areApple - A Cherries - C Banana - B Grapes - G1) ACB2) ACG3) BCG4) GAB By 2nd condition, Miller family uses either i)ACB or ii)ACGNow we have Robin, Mandy and Miller who uses apples (ACB,ACG,GAB)while Miller and Mandy both uses A and C. That leaves GAB for Robin. By 3rd condition Flure uses either C or G. So if we leave out the terms containing both C and G, we are left with ACB and GAB Now, for the time being let's suppose Robin is not a Flure.So ACB is taken by Flure. So ACG has to be Miller and that leaves BCG to be Clark. So we get Robin - Jacob(GAB). By 4th and 2nd conditions Erica and Mandy belong to the first two. That leaves Stacy - Clark(BCG). By 2nd condition Mandy is not a Miller, so we get Mandy - Flure(ACB) and that leaves Erica - Miller(ACG).

Answer : 4. "Rs. 32,292"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Rs. 32,292 Explanation: Almond Selling price = CP(1 + P%/100) => CP = 20000, SP = 23000 => 23000 = 20000 (1 + P/100) => P% = 100(23000/20000 - 1) = 15 Then, Olive's P% = 30% SP for Olive = CP for Sarah = 23000(1 + 30/100) = 29900 Now Sarah wants to earn profit of 8% => Sp for Sarah = 29900(1 + 8/100) = Rs. 32,292.
