Q:

A mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4 : 3. If 5 liters of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 4: 5. Find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture.

A) 10 B) 12
C) 15 D) 18

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%
