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. "84 km/hr"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 84 km/hr Explanation: Let the speeds of the car, train and bus be 5x, 9x and 4x km/hr respectively.Average speed = 5x + 9x + 4x/3 = 18x /3 = 6x km/hr.Also, 6x = 72 => x = 12 km/hrTherefore, the average speed of the car and train together is = 5x+9x2= 7x = 7 x 12 = 84 km/hr.
