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 : 1. "10000 and 15000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 10000 and 15000 Explanation: As both A and B invest the same amounts, the ratio of their profits at the end of the year is equal to the ratio of the time periods for which they have invested.   Thus, the required ratio of their profits = A : B = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3.   Hence, share of A in the total profit = 2 x 25000/5 = Rs.10000   Similarly, share of B in the total profit = 3 x 25000/5 = Rs.15000

Answer : 4. "Rs.480"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Rs.480 Explanation: SP = Rs.800 ; Profit = 25%  CP = SP x 100100+P% = 800 x 100100+25 = 640    Now, CP = Rs.640   Loss = 25% = 25% of Rs.640 = Rs.160   Thus, SP = CP - Loss = Rs.640 - Rs.160 = Rs.480

Answer : 3. "164"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 164 Explanation: For a triangle, we need 3 non-collinear points. So with 12 points (when all the 12 are such that any three non-collinear is12C3. But among them 8 points are collinear.   If all these 8 points are different we get 8C3 triangles as they are collinear.   In 12C3 triangles, we do not get 8C3 triangles   Therefore, The number of triangles we get = 12C3-8C3 = 164
