Answer : 1. "Rs. 620"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 620 Explanation: Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P) According to the data given C.P = S.P => Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500 => 30P = 105000 => P = 3500 Required difference between selling prices = Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86] = 4060-3440 = Rs. 620

Answer : 2. "54"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 54 Explanation: Let R, G and B represent the number of balls in red, green and blue boxes respectively. Then, . R + G + B = 108 ...(i), G + R = 2B ...(ii) B = 2R ...(iii) From (ii) and (iii), we have G + R = 2x 2R = 4R or G = 3R. Putting G = 3R and B = 2R in (i), we get: R + 3R + 2R = 108 6R = 108 R = 18. Therefore Number of balls in green box = G = 3R = (3 x 18) = 54.
