Answer : 2. "13 days"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 13 days Explanation: Ratio of times taken by P & Q = 100 : 130 = 10:13   Let Q takes x days to do the work Then, 10:13 :: 23:x => x = 23x13/10 => x = 299/10   P's 1 day's work = 1/23 Q's 1 day's work = 10/299 (P+Q)'s 1 day's work = (1/23 + 10/299) = 23/299 = 1/13 Hence, P & Q together can complete the work in 13 days.

Answer : 3. "Rs. 200"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Rs. 200 Explanation: Let the C.P be 'x'Then, the selling price S.P = x - 16x/100= 84x/100 = 21x/25Now, if the S.P is 60 more, then the profit is 14% => 21x/25 + 60 = x + 14x/100=> 114x/100 - 21x/25 = 60=> (57 - 42)x/50 = 60=> 15x/50 = 60x = 3000/15 = 200 Therefore, the Cost price C.P = x = Rs. 200
