To have same amount of money we will add the money both brothers have and divide by 2.
Total = 220 + 300 = 520
520/2 = 260 Rs
This means both brothers should have 260 Rs.
Therefore, 260 - 220 = 40 rs should be given

Out of which Rs 30.85 was for one dictionary =140.95 - (30.85*3)
Because there were 3 dictonaries.
Remaining balance = 48.4
Cost of each book = 48.4/8
Rs 6.05

Honey Sircar answered |
Let Preeti's money be x
then, Maya's money =5x
so, 5x+x=3480
6x=3480
x=3480/6=580
So Preeti got rs. 580 and,
Maya got 580*5= rs. 2900
a/q, Maya saved 1/2 of 2900 =1450
Preeti purchased for books = rs. 56
so she saved =rs. 580-56 =rs. 524
Thus , total savings by both = 1450+524= Rs. 1974
then, Maya's money =5x
so, 5x+x=3480
6x=3480
x=3480/6=580
So Preeti got rs. 580 and,
Maya got 580*5= rs. 2900
a/q, Maya saved 1/2 of 2900 =1450
Preeti purchased for books = rs. 56
so she saved =rs. 580-56 =rs. 524
Thus , total savings by both = 1450+524= Rs. 1974

Lakshmi Mehta answered |
Understanding the Problem
A man buys and sells toffees, and we need to determine his gain percent.
Cost Price (CP) Calculation
- The man buys toffees at the rate of 10 for Rs. 3.
- Therefore, the cost price of one toffee is:
- CP of 10 toffees = Rs. 3
- CP of 1 toffee = 3 / 10 = Rs. 0.30
Selling Price (SP) Calculation
- The man sells toffees at the rate of 8 for Rs. 3.
- Therefore, the selling price of one toffee is:
- SP of 8 toffees = Rs. 3
- SP of 1 toffee = 3 / 8 = Rs. 0.375
Calculating Gain
- Gain per toffee can be calculated as:
- Gain = Selling Price - Cost Price
- Gain = 0.375 - 0.30 = Rs. 0.075
Calculating Gain Percent
- Gain percent formula is:
- Gain Percent = (Gain / Cost Price) × 100
- Gain Percent = (0.075 / 0.30) × 100
- Now, simplifying this:
- Gain Percent = 0.25 × 100 = 25%
Conclusion
The man’s gain percent is 25%. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D'.

- Gain = 0.375 - 0.30 = Rs. 0.075

Conclusion
The man’s gain percent is 25%. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D'.

Lakshmi Mehta answered |
Given information:
Bhanu has 4 times as much money as Shekhar.
If Shekhar receives Rs. 22.50 from Bhanu, they would have an equal amount of money.
Let's assume:
Let Shekhar have Rs. x
So, Bhanu has Rs. 4x
Calculation:
After receiving Rs. 22.50 from Bhanu, Shekhar will have x+22.50
And Bhanu will have 4x-22.50
According to the given information:
x + 22.50 = 4x - 22.50
Solving the above equation:
22.50 + 22.50 = 4x - x
45 = 3x
x = 15
Therefore, Shekhar has Rs. 15 at first.
So, the correct answer is option A) Rs. 15.

Therefore, you can buy 40 toffees with 80 rupees.

Avinash Patel answered |
Petrol filled on Monday = 40 litres
Petrol filled on the next day (Tuesday) = 50 litres
Cost of 1 litre of petrol =Rs. 44
Now, the amount spent in overall petrol =Rs. (44 × (40+50))
=44 × 90
=44 × (100−10)
Since, Distributive property over subtraction:
a×(b−c)=(a×b)−(a×c)
=44 × (100−10)
Since, Distributive property over subtraction:
a×(b−c)=(a×b)−(a×c)
⇒44×(100−10)
=44×100−44×10
=4400–440
=3960
Therefore, he spent Rs. 3960 on petrol.
