Answer : 1. "33.33%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 33.33% Explanation: Let 'A' be the cost price of property P1. Then from the given data, the selling price of P1 = Rs. 1,00,000 He got 20% loss on selling P1 ⇒A - 20A100 = 100000⇒A = 1,25,000 Therefore, the amount he lossed on selling P1 = 25,000 As ge he got no loss or gain on sale of P1 and P2, the gain on selling P2 = 25,000 But the selling price of P2 = 1,00,000 => Cost price of P2 = 75,000 Hence, the profit percentage on P2 = GainCPx 100 = 2500075000x100 = 1003= 33.33%

Answer : 3. "80%"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 80% Explanation: circumference of A = 2πr = 8 => so r = 4πvolume = π×4π2×10 = 160πcircumference of B = 2πr = 10 => so r = 5πvolume = π×5π2×8 = 200πso ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8 so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.
