Answer : 3. "11"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 11 Explanation: Let the number of sides be n.  The number of diagonals is given by nC2 - n   Therefore, nC2 - n = 44, n>0  nC2 - n = 44 n2 - 3n - 88 = 0  n2 -11n + 8n - 88 = 0   n(n - 11) + 8(n - 11) = 0  n = -8 or n = 11.   As n>0, n will not be -8. Therefore, n=11.

Answer : 4. "13.742% gain"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 13.742% gain Explanation: Let CP = 100,42 % increase => SP = 14210 % discount in SP => ((142 x 10)/100) = 14.2So 1st SP = (142 - 14.2) = 127.8, again 12 % discount in 1st SP ((127.8 x 11)/100) = 14.0582nd SP = (127.8 - 14.058) = 113.742, So finally CP = 100, SP = 113.742, => gain = 13.742%.
