Answer : 3. "3:2"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 3:2 Explanation: Let us assume S as number of shirts and T as number of trousersGiven that each trouser cost = Rs.70 and that of shirt = Rs.30Therefore, 70 T + 30 S = 810=> 7T + 3S = 81......(1)T = ( 81 - 3S )/7 We need to find the least value of S which will make (81 - 3S) divisible by 7 to get maximum value of TSimplifying by taking 3 as common factor i.e, 3(27-S) / 7In the above equation least value of S as 6 so that 27- 3S becomes divisible by 7 Hence T = (81-3xS)/7 = (81-3x6)/7 = 63/7 = 9 Hence for S, put T in eq(1), we getS = 81-7(9)/3 = 81-63 / 3 = 18/3 = 6.The ratio of T:S = 9:6 = 3:2.

Answer : 2. "Rs.12,000"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Rs.12,000 Explanation: We have P = 8748, R = -10 and n = 3Therefore, the purchase price of the machine= P1+R100n= 87481-101003= 8748 x (100/90) x (100/90) x (100/90)= 12,000. Therefore, the purchase price of the machine was Rs. 12,000.

Answer : 1. "127.5 m"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 127.5 m Explanation: When A runs 1000 m, B runs 900 m and when B runs 800 m, C runs 700 m. When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs = (900 x 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 m. In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 m to C. In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C = (600 x 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 m.
