Answer : 1. "22/7 x 24/35"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 22/7 x 24/35 Explanation: Since level of water increased in cylinder by height 4.  This is because of the rectangular block .   Therefore , area of rectangular block immersed in water is  = 227×6×6×4   Thats why portion of block immersed in water is  = (22/7 * 36 * 4) / total vol. of rectangle  = (22/7 * 36 * 4)/ (7*5*6)  = (22/7 * 24)/ 35.

Answer : 2. "7 hrs"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 7 hrs Explanation: Given, P can fill in 12 hrs Q can fill in 15 hrs R can fill in 20 hrs => Volume of tank = LCM of 12, 15, 20 = 60 lit => P alone can fill the tank in 60/12 = 5 hrs => Q alone can fill the tank in 60/15 = 4 hrs => R alone can fill the tank in 60/20 = 3 hrs Tank can be filled in the way that (P+Q) + (P+R) + (P+Q) + (P+R) + .... => Tank filled in 2 hrs = (5+4) + (5+3) = 9 + 8 = 17 lit => In 6 hrs = 17 x 6/2 = 51 lit => In 7th hr = 51 + (5+4) = 51 + 9 = 60 lit => So, total tank will be filled in 7 hrs.

Answer : 1. "Rs. 620"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 620 Explanation: Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P) According to the data given C.P = S.P => Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500 => 30P = 105000 => P = 3500 Required difference between selling prices = Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86] = 4060-3440 = Rs. 620
