A train travels 325 km in 3.5 hours and 470 km in 4 hours. Find the average speed of train ?

A) 107 kmph B) 106 kmph
C) 72 kmph D) 76 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 106 kmph

Explanation:

for average speed = Total Distance / Total Time Taken

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Giraffe

Q:

The cost price of 40 Magazines is the same as the selling price of 'P' articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of 'P' is:

A) 32 B) 40
C) 16 D) 30
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32

Explanation:

Let C.P. of each Magazine be Rs. 1

C.P. of P articles = Rs. P. 

S.P. of P articles = Rs. 40.

 

Profit = Rs. (40 - P)

 

Now, Gain% = ProfitC.P×100 = 40-PP×100 

 

Here 40-PP×100= 25

-->P = 32.
