A Rs. 900 B Rs. 1200 C Rs. 1080 D Rs. 1440
Ans: B Rs. 1200
Solution:
Loss percentage = 25%
 100
CP = { ( 100 − loss% ) × SP }
100
= Rs. = { 100 − 25 × SP }
100
= Rs. = ( 85 × 720 )

Solution:
Since, the solid has rectangular faces.
So, we have l × b = 16 ...(i)
b × h = 32 ...(ii)
l × h = 72 ...(iii)
where l, b and h are the length, breadth and height respectively, of the solid. On multiplying Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
l × b × b × h × l × h = 16 × 32 × 72
? l2 × b2 × h2 = 36864
? (lbh)2 = 36864
∴ lbh = 192

Q56.Suraj bought a car for Rs 4.50.000. Next year its price decreased by 20% and further next year it decreased 1 Mark
by 28%. In the two years, overall decrease per cent in the price of the car is:
A 43.6% B 43.1% C 42% D 42.4%
Ans: D 42.4%
Solution:
Price of car = Rs. 4,50,000
Decrease of price in first year = 20%
20
= × 4, 50, 000
100
= Rs. 90,000
Therefore, price after 1 year = Rs 4,50,000 - 90,000
= Rs 2.25,000
28
Similarly, the price of car after second year = 3, 60, 000 − 100
× 3, 60, 000
= Rs. 3,60,000 - Rs 1,00,800
= Rs. 2,59,200
Total decrease in price = Rs. 90,000 +1.00,800
= Rs. 1,90,800
190800
Decrease percent = 450000
× 100
= 42.4%
