Since he purchases 120 gm and pays Rs. 100 by assuming actual CP of 1gm = Rs. 1)

Total price in original bill = rs. (12 + x )
In wrong bill = Rs. ( 3x + 4)
Bill increased by 40% = 2/5
⇒ 15x + 20 = 84 + 7x
⇒ 8x = 64
⇒ x = 8 pairs
∴ Total pairs = 8 + 4 = 12 pairs

SI for 10 years on 416 =
Let the principal for CI be Rs, P
4. 2;
Let the speed of boat be x km/hr
According to the question,
⇒ 10 (x+4 + x-4) = 4/3 (x² - 16)
⇒ 15x = x² - 16
⇒ x² - 16 - 15x = 0
⇒ x = 16, -1
∴ So ,the speed of boat in still water = 16km/hr
5. 2;
Let the speed of other train be x km/hr
6. 1;
Part filled by A from 8 am to 11 am
Part filled by B from 9 am to 11 am
Total part filled till 11 am
At 11 am pipe C is opened to empty it
∴ Part of thank emptied in 1 hr
∴ 11/30 part will be emptied in
.e. at 2:40 pm

Let the width of the path be x km
∴ Area of the path
= 38 x 32 - (38 - 2x) (32 - 2x)
= 1216 - 1216 + 140x - 4x²
= 140x - 4x²
∴ 140x - 4x² = 600
⇒ 4x² - 140x + 600 = 0
⇒ x² - 35x+ 150 = 0
⇒ x (x-30 ) - 5 (x-30) = 0
⇒ (x-5) (x-30) =0
∴ x = 5 as x ≠30
