Answer : 1. "49.6%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 49.6% Explanation: As these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.If initial cost is Rs 100, then20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4 Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.

Answer : 2. "264 km"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 264 km Explanation: Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms Now, from the given data, d/20 = d/22 + 36 min => d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs => d = 132 km. Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.

Answer : 1. "4/3 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4/3 days Explanation: Let the total number of documents to be printed be 12. The number of documents printed by P in 1 day = 4. The number of documents printed by Q in 1 day = 3. The number of documents printed by R in 1 day = 2. Thus, the total number of documents that can be printed by all the machines working simultaneously in a single day = 9. Therefore, the number of days taken to complete the whole work = 12/9 = 4/3 days.
