Answer : 2. "20%"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 20% Explanation: Let the Cost of Production of the article = 100 Then, Labour Cost = 20 Raw Material = 10 Other Expenditure = 100 - 10 – 20 = 70 Selling Price of the article = 120 After increasing Labour and Raw material cost by 40% & 20% respectively, New Labour cost = 28 New Raw material cost = 12 New Cost of Production = 70 + 28 + 12 = 110 Then, New SP = 110% of 120 = 120 x 110/100 = 132 => New Gain = 132 - 110 = 22 => New Profit % = 22 x 100/110 = 20%

Answer : 1. "99"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 99 Explanation: Let, Distance between A and B = d Distance travelled by P while it meets Q = d + 11 Distance travelled by Q while it meets P = d – 11 Distance travelled by Q while it meets R = d + 9 Distance travelled by R while it meets Q = d – 9 Here the ratio of speeds of P & Q => SP : SQ = d + 11 : d – 11 The ratio of speeds of Q & R => SQ : SR = d + 9 : d – 9 But given Ratio of speeds of P & R => P : R = 3 : 2 SPSR = SPSQxSQSR = d+11d+9d-11d-9 => d+11d+9d-11d-9 = 3/2 => d = 1, 99 => d = 99 satisfies. Therefore, Distance between A and B = 99

Answer : 4. "3:2"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 3:2 Explanation: Let he mixes the oils in the ratio = x : y Then, the cost price of the oils = 60x + 65y Given selling price = Rs. 68.20 => Selling price = 68.20(x+y) Given profit = 10% = SP - CP => 10/100 (60x + 65y) = 68.20(x+y)-(60x + 65y) => 6x + 6.5y = 8.20x + 3.20y =>2.2x = 3.3y => x : y = 3 : 2
