A person has Rs 100/- in his pocket, he can as 25 pencils
or 15books.He kept 15% of the money for travelling expenses
and purchased 5 pencils.So how many books he can purchase
with the remaining money.
a) 4 b) 3 c) 5 d)none
Answer Posted / pirate
25 pencils = 100 , so each pencil is Rs 4/-
15 books = 100, so each book is 100/15
Now, he has kept aside 15%, that is 15 Rs
So, remaining is (5*4) + X * (100/15) + 15 = 100
X * (100/15) = 100 - 15 -20, so,
X = 65 * 15 / 100 = 39/4 ~ 9
So, answer is none.
