Answer : 1. "4%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4% Explanation: SP of first article = Rs.1000 Profit = 20% CP = SP x 100100+P% = Rs. 25003 SP of Second Article = Rs.1000 Loss = 20% CP = SP x 100100-L% = Rs. 1250 So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3 As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss. Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3) So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%

Answer : 2. "225 days"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 225 days Explanation: Given that (10M + 15W) x 6 days = 1M x 100 days => 60M + 90W = 100M => 40M = 90W => 4M = 9W. From the given data, 1M can do the work in 100 days => 4M can do the same work in 100/4= 25 days. => 9W can do the same work in 25 days. => 1W can do the same work in 25 x 9 = 225 days. Hence, 1 woman can do the same work in 225 days.
