let cost of cow be x

let cost of horse be 200000-x

so, (120%)x-(90%)(200000-x)=204000

solve the above equation vil get x=80000

thus cost price of cow is 80000/-

let in 2003 income=x.so in 2004 it will be (x+x*20%)=6x/5.and in 2005 it

will be(6x/5+6x/5*20%)=36x/25.

x+6x/5+36x/25=36400 then x=10000.in 2004 income=12000 and in 2005

income=14400

given l:b:h=1:3:27

so now volume will be lbh=1*3*27=81

now given l is doubled so l= 2l

b and h are halved so b=3b/2,h=27h/2

now new volume 2l*b/2*h/2

so substitute values then u get lbh=2*(3/2)*(27/2)=40.5

so the change is 81-40.5=40.5

so half of the original volume

She started from her home 30 min. late and reached her office 50 min. late.

So, she took extra (50-30)=20 min. time

let her usual speed is S and distance between her home and office is D.

We know, D = S X T..............(1)

25% of S = (3/4)S

Extra time = (T+20)min.

As the distance is same in both cases, so,

D=(3/4)S X (T+20).................(2)

Equating (1) and (2),

T = 60 min. which is the usual time

Consider the provided information.

Let n is the number of people participate in survey out of which 50% of them prefer brand A.

Thus 50% of n = 0.5n

Another survey of a100 people in the town of chottaville found that 60% prefer brand: 60% of 100 = 60

In total 55% of all the people surveyed together prefer brand

Thus, 0.5n + 60 = 0.55(n + 100)

0.5n + 60 = 0.55n + 55

60-55 = 0.55n - 0.5n

5 = 0.05n

n = 100

There were another survey of 100 people in the town, thus the total number of people are: 100 + 100 =

200 people.

PrepInsta Explanation User Explanation

Invalid Votes = 14 % (5000) = 700

Valid Votes = 5000 - 700 = 4300 = R (say)

Assume the looser got 'L" votes and winner got "W" votes.
W - L = 15% (R)
W+L=R
Solving we get W = 57.5% and L = 42.5%
So Winner got 57.5%(4300) = 2472

As A is 20% more efficient than B, If B per day work is 100 units then A 120.

Both persons together completes (100 + 120) units = 220 units a day.
They took 60 days to complete the work. So total work = 60 x 220

If A alone set to complete the work, he takes = 60×220120=110 days

Volume =l×b×h = 6×5×2 = 60 cm3
Now volume is reduced by 19%.
Therefore, new volume = (100−19)100×60=48.6

Now, thickness remains same and let length and breadth be reduced to x%
so, new volume: (x100×6)(x100×5)2=48.6

Solving we get x =90

thus length and width is reduced by 10%

New width = 5-(10% of 5)=4.5

weight of 1st box=200

weight of 3rd box=(125/100)*200=250

weight of 2nd box=(120/100)*250=300
weight of 4th box =350

weight of 5th box=(10/7)*350=500

average of 4 highest weighted boxes=(500+350+300+250)/4=350

average of 4 lightest boxes=(350+300+250+200)/4=275

therefore difference=350-275=75
