Answer : 2. "Rs. 420"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Rs. 420 Explanation: As given in the question, Marked price is 25% more than the Cost price. => C.P of the article = 34 x 400 = 300 Now, Let the original S.P of the article be Rs. P Now the new S.P = P + 16.666 +13.333300 x P => S.P = 7P6 According to the question, 7P6 - 300 = 2P - 300 => 5P = 1800 => P = Rs. 360 Hence, the increased S.P = 360 x 7/6 = Rs. 420.

Answer : 4. "6.3 yrs"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 6.3 yrs Explanation: P = Rs. 900, R = 3 ½ % = 7/2 %, T = 2 years. Therefore, S.I. = PTR/100 S.I. = Rs. (900 x 7/2 x 2/100) = Rs. 63 Now, P = Rs. 200, S.I. = Rs. 63, R = 5 % Time = ((100 x 63) / (200 x 5) ) years = 6.3 years.
