Answer : 2. "0.95 %"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 0.95 % Explanation: SP of first article = 1000Profit = 30%CP = (SP)x[100/(100+P)] = 10000/13 SP of second article = 1000Loss = 20%CP = (SP)x[100/(100-L)] = 5000/4 = 1250 Total SP = 2000 Total CP = 10000/13 + 1250 = 2019.23 CP is more than SP, he makes a loss. Loss = CP-SP = 2019.23 - 2000 = 19.23Loss Percent = [(19.23)/(2019.23)]x100 = 0.95 %.

Answer : 1. "0.625"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 0.625 Explanation: 5/8 is Nothing but to divide 5 into 8 parts.     As 5 is smaller than 8, the quotient starts with a decimal point to make 5 as 50 to be divisible by 8. (0.)     Now 50 goes for 6 times in 8 leaving a remainder 2. (0.6)      Again 2 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 2 becomes 20.      Now 20 goes for 2 times in 8 leaving a remainder 4. (0.62)      Again 4 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 4 becomes 40.     Now 40 goes for 5 times in 8 leaving a remainder 0. (0.625)     Therefore, the decimal value of 58 is 0.625.   Now find a decimal value of 1117 and Discuss your at Discuss.

Answer: A) 50 days Explanation: 50 men can build a tank in 40 days  Assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in 1 day Then the total work is 50×40 = 2000 units   50 men work in the first 10 days and completes 50×10 = 500 units of work 45 men work in the next 10 days and completes 45×10 = 450 units of work 40 men work in the next 10 days and completes 40×10 = 400 units of work 35 men work in the next 10 days and completes 35×10 = 350 units of work So far 500 + 450 + 400 + 350 = 1700 units of work is completed and   Remaining work is 2000 - 1700 = 300 units   30 men work in the next 10 days. In each day, they does 30 units of work.   Therefore, additional days required = 300/30 =10   Thus, total 10+10+10+10+10 = 50 days required.
