A) Rs. 3680 B) Rs. 3560
C) Rs. 3320 D) Rs. 3250
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 3250

Explanation:

Let the Cost price of the powerbank = Rs. P

But given that by selling it at Rs. 1950, it gives a loss of 25%

=> P x 75100 = 1950
=>P = 1950 x 10075 = Rs. 2600
Now, to get a profit of 25%

Selling Price = 2600 x 125100 = Rs. 3250.

Q:

If x = √8 - √7, y = √6 - √5 and z = √10 - 3, which of the following is true  ?

A) x > y < z B) x < y < z
C) x > y > z D) z < x < y
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) z < x < y

Explanation:

x = √8 - √7 = 1/(√8 + √7) and y = √6 - √5 = 1/(√6 + √5) and z = √10 - 3 = 1/(√10 + 3)

As (√8 + √7) > (√6 + √5), (√8 - √7) < (√6 - √5)

As (√10 + 3) > (√8 + √7) > (√6 + √5)

z < x < y.
