Q:

If the cost price of 12 pens is equal to the selling price of 8 pens, the gain percent is ?

A) 12%	B) 30%
C) 50%	D) 60%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50%

Explanation:

Friends, we know we will need gain amount to get gain percent, right. So lets get gain first.

Let the cost price of 1 pen is Re 1

Cost of 8 pens = Rs 8

Selling price of 8 pens = 12

Gain = 12 - 8 = 4

Gain% = $(\frac{g a i n}{\cos t} \times 100)$ % = $(\frac{4}{8} \times 100)$ % = 50%

Q:

Find the odd one out of the following number series?

56, 64, 48, 90, 16, 144

A) 48	B) 64
C) 90	D) 16

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 90

Explanation:

The given number series follows a pattern that,

56

56 + 8 = 64

64 - 16 = 48

48 + 32 = 80 (Not equal to 90)

80 - 64 = 16

16 + 128 = 144

Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 90.
