Question: Instead of a metre scale, a cloth merchant uses a 120 cm scale while buying, but uses an 80 cm scale while selling the same cloth. If he offers a discount of 20% on cash payment, what is his overall profit percentage?
A.20%
B.25%
C.40%
D.15%
Answer: A.20%
Explanation: Explanation :
Assume that the merchant while purchasing, purchases 120cm at Rs120 , that is 1cm at Rs1.
He sells 80 cm at Rs 120.
While the original CP = Rs 80 for 80 cm.
20% discount on 120 = 24,
So, actual SP = 120-24 = 96
Profit = 96-80 = 16
P%= (P/CP) x 100 = (16/80) x 100 = 20%.

Question: A bowl contains pecans, cashews, and almonds in a ratio of 5 : 8 : 12, respectively. If some of the nuts of one of the three types are removed, which of the following could be the ratio of pecans to cashews to almonds remaining in the bowl?
i. 1 : 2 : 3
ii. 2 : 3 : 4
iii. 4 : 7 : 10
A.II only
B.I only
C.III only
D.II,III only
Answer: B.I only
Explanation: i. The ratio 2 : 3 is the same as the given ratio 8 : 12. If one pecan were removed, the new ratio would be 4 : 8 : 12, or 1 : 2 : 3.
ii. None of the nuts currently have a ratio of 3 : 4. The cashews and almonds do have a ratio of 2 : 3, but there are not enough pecans in the bowl to complete the ratio.
iii. The ratio 4 : 10 is the same as the given ratio 6 : 15. To see this, multiply the ratio by 3/2 . The new ratio is 6 : 10.5 : 15. Unfortunately, this means that there are fewer cashews that this ratio would require. Removing cashews won’t create the desired ratio.

Question: If s and t are positive integers such that s/t = 36.42, which of the following could be the remainder when s is divided by t ?
A.42
B.43
C.83
D.20
Answer: A.42
Explanation: s/t= 36.42
s = 36.42t
s = (36 + 0.42)t
s = 36t + (42/100)t
s = 36t + (21/50)t
So remainder will be multiple of 21. The only multiple of 21 is 42.
