Answer :- (B) 5
Solution:-
Let the two numbers be x and y.

(A) 80% (B) 60% (C) 120% (D) 100%
Answer:- (D) 100%
- Purchase price = ₹1,500
- Repair cost = ₹900

- So,Total Cost = Purchase price + Repair cost + Sales tax = 1500 + 900 + 100 = 2500
- Given that, Selling price = ₹5,000
- We know that, Profit = Selling price – Total Cost = 5000- 2500 = 2500
- Net Profit Percentage = ( Profit/ Total Cost) × 100 = ( 2500/2500) × 100 = 100%

(A) 22 years (B) 23 years (C) 21 years (D) cannot be determined
Answer:-(A) 22 years
Let’s solve this step-by-step:
- Current age of Babli: 6 years
- Current age of Babli’s father: Babli’s age + 25 = 6 + 25 = 31 years
- Current age of Babli’s mother: Since the father is 2 years older than the mother, her mother’s age is 31 – 2 = 29 years.
Since Babli was born a year after her parents’ marriage, they were married 6 + 1 = 7 years ago.
Therefore, the age of Babli’s mother at the time of marriage was:

is :
(A) ₹290 (B) ₹109 (C) ₹ 190 (D) ₹ 209
Answer:- (C) ₹ 190
To find the total cost of 4 mangoes and 3 apples, we first calculate the cost per mango and per apple:
- 12 mangoes cost 300, so the 1 mango costs 300 / 12 = `25.
- 15 apples cost 450, so the 1 apple costs 450 / 15 = `30.
Now, calculate the cost of 4 mangoes and 3 apples:
- 4 mangoes cost 4 x 25 = 100.
- 3 apples cost 3 x 30 = 90.
Finally, add the cost of mangoes and apples: 100 + 90 = 190
Therefore, the total cost of 4 mangoes and 3 apples is ₹ 190
