SP = Rs.800 ; Profit = 25%

 CP = SP x 100100+P% = 800 x 100100+25 = 640

 Now, CP = Rs.640

Loss = 25% = 25% of Rs.640 = Rs.160

Thus, SP = CP - Loss = Rs.640 - Rs.160 = Rs.480

Speed in downstream = (14 + 4) km/hr = 18 km/hr;

Speed in upstream = (14 – 4) km/hr = 10 km/hr.

Let the distance between A and B be x km. Then,

x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19 ⇔ x/18 + x/20 = 19 ⇒ x = 180 km.

All locks are bangles + All bangles are cars = A + A = A
= All locks are cars => Some cars are locks.
Hence conclusion (a) follows.
All keys are locks + All locks are bangles = A + A = A
= All keys are bangles => some bangles are keys.
Hence conclusion (b) follows.
All keys are bangles + All bangles are cars = A + A = A
= All keys are cars => Some cars are keys.
Hence conclusion (C) follows.

Thus all a, b and c follows.

The given number series is 8, 14, 24, 40, ? .

It follows a pattern that,

8

8 x 1.5 + 2 = 14

14 x 1.5 + 3 = 24

24 x 1.5 + 4 = 40

40 x 1.5 + 5 = 65

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 65.

Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',
Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)
Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",
So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]
We get 6P = 10Q,
Substitute value for Q,
6P = 10(64 - P),
Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.

The given number series follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 19 + 12 = 20 (not 21) \\ 20 + 22 = 24 \\ 24 + 32 = 33 \\ 33 + 42 = 49 \\ 49 + 52 = 74 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 21.

(kx22)/100 = 340 - 166.64 = 173.36
k = (173.36 x 100)/22
k = 788

Let cp= 100,
35 % increase in sp=135
10 % discount in 135((135*10)/100)=13.5
so 1st sp=(135-13.5)=121.5, again 15 % discount in 1st sp((121.5*15)/100)=18.225
2nd sp=(121.5-18.225)=103.275,

so finally cp=100,sp=103.275 ,gain by 3.27%
