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

Explanation :

Answer: B) North Explanation: The azimuth originates at true North i.e, the azimuth originates from the north point. It is a measure of how far an object forms the observer's north point.   Azimuth is a technical mapping term which is used to describe the direction of an angle between north and south on a compass circle through which the circle line passes. It is the most common military method to express direction. When using an azimuth, the point from which the azimuth originates is the center of an imaginary circle.

Answer : 4. "9:1"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 9:1 Explanation: Milk = 3/5 x 20 = 12 liters, water = 8 liters   If 10 liters of mixture are removed, amount of milk removed = 6 liters and amount of water removed = 4 liters.   Remaining milk = 12 - 6 = 6 liters Remaining water = 8 - 4 = 4 liters   10 liters of pure milk are added, therefore total milk = (6 + 10) = 16 liters.   The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 16:4 = 4:1   If the process is repeated one more time and 10 liters of the mixture are removed, then amount of milk removed = 4/5 x 10 = 8 liters.   Amount of water removed = 2 liters.   Remaining milk = (16 - 8) = 8 liters. Remaining water = (4 -2) = 2 liters.   Now 10 lts milk is added => total milk = 18 lts   The required ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained   = (8 + 10):2 = 18:2 = 9:1.
