Answer : 1. "Rs. 4000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 4000 Explanation: Let C's salary be Rs. x Then B's salary = 80x/100 => A's salary = (50/100) * (80x/100) = 40x/100 But given total earnings in a month = 22000 => x + 80x/100 + 40x/100 = 22000 => x + 120x/100 = 22000 => x = 10000 => A's salary = 40 x 10000/100 = Rs. 4000

Answer: A) 5100 sq.m Explanation: Let the breadth of floor be 'b' m. Then, length of the floor is 'l = (b + 25)' Area of the rectangular floor = l x b = (b + 25) × b According to the question, (b + 15) (b + 8) = (b + 25) × b b2 + 8b + 15b + 120 = b2 + 25b 2b = 120 b = 60 m. l = b + 25 = 60 + 25 = 85 m.   Area of the floor = 85 × 60 = 5100 sq.m.
