∴ Profit percentage
= 29.03% gain
3. 5;
Five years ago the average age of 4 boys = 9 years
The present average age of 4 boys = 9+5 = 14
So the present age of new boys = 15 + 4 x 1 = 19 years
4. 2;
Units of work done in 3 days = (2 + 3 + 4) = 9
∴ 72 units of work will be done in = 3 x 8 = 24 days
5. 3;
SP = 100, SP (with tax) = 130
New SP = 100 - 5 = 95
Effective discount = 130 - 95 = 35
So, when SP of 95, discount = 35
And when SP of Rs. 16,150, discount = 35/95x16150 = Rs. 5950
6. 5;
Initial ratio of water to wine = 40 : 10 = 4: 1
Final ratio of water to wine = (4 : 1) = 24:6
Required, final ratio of water to wine
= 60 : 40
= (6 : 4)
= 24 : 16x⁴
If total mixture is 40 litres, mixture replaced is = 10 litres
Here total mixture is 50 litre, mixture replaced is = 12.5 litres
