Let’s say marked price = 100
Then cost price = 64
and selling price = 88
discount = 24
%discount = $\frac{24}{64} \times 100$ = 37.5%

Let the two numbers be a,b.
Hence a * b = L.C.M(a,b) * G.C.D(a,b)
It is given that a,b are co-primes, implies G.C.D(a,b) = 1
Hence from the above equation we get L.C.M(a,b) = a*b = 117

Given:-
Numbers- First = 24
Second = x (suppose)
H.C.F. of numbers = 8
L.C.M. of numbers = 48
As we know:
H.C.F.* L.C.M. = Product of numbers
Hence
48*8 = 24*x
x = 16

Given numbers can be resolved like ( 1- $\frac{1}{16}$), (1- $\frac{1}{20}$), ( 1- $\frac{1}{25}$), (1 – $\frac{1}{35}$)
hence smallest among them will be the one having maximum substraction from 1.
so answer is $\frac{15}{16}$

Given LCM of two numbers  is 30
Both numbers should be in the form of 30a and 30b where a and b are co-primes
In the following options 6,10 and 15 are factors of 30 but not 12 and so 12 cannot be the HCF

Given numbers are 23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32
Since this series is in Arithmetic Progression, Average of the series will be Average of the middle two numbers = $\dfrac{27+28}{2} = 27.5$

One year ago, the ratio of the age (in years) of A to that of B = 4 : 3
After 3 year, the ratio of the age (in years) of A to that of B = 6 : 5
After 3 year, let the age of A and B are 6x and 5x.
ATQ,
$\frac{4x + 4}{3x + 4} = \frac{6}{5}$
20x + 20 = 18x + 24
2x = 4
x = 2
After 9 year, the ratio of the age (in years) of A to that of B = 6x + 6 : 5x + 6
6 $\times$ 2 + 6 : 5 $\times$ 2 + 6 = 18 : 16 = 9 : 8

Let C.P. = $100x$

Profit = $\frac{20}{100} * 100x = 20x$

=> S.P. = $100x+20x = 120x$

Discount % = 20%

Let M.P. = $y$

=> $\frac{y-120x}{y}$ * 100 = 20

=> $4y = 600x$

=> M.P. = $150x$

When 30% discount is given => $\frac{30}{100} * 150x = 45x$

=> S.P. = $150x-45x = 105x$

=> Profit % = $\frac{105x-100x}{100x}$ * 100 = 5%

Let’s say selling price of 20 books equals to 100
hence selling price of 15 books will be 75
cost price of 15 books is = 100 (given)
so loss percentage is 25

Let’s say amounts in first vessel are 3x and 4x
in second vessel = 5y and 3y
So 7x = 8y (given)   (eq. (1))
Pouring them together , new amounts will be 3x+5y and 4x+3y
so new ratio will be $\frac{3x+5y}{4x+3y}$  (eq. 2)
putting ratio of x and y from eq. (1) in eq. (2) and solving we will get new ratio as 59:53

Let the third proportion be x.
$(\frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{x}) : \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ :: $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} : z$
$(\frac{x^2+y^2}{xy}) : \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ :: $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}: z$
$(\frac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{xy}) : 1$ :: $\frac{ \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}{z}$
$(\frac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{xy})$ :: $\frac{ \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}{z}$
z=xy
Option A is the correct answer.

Meeting at the first time will be L.C.M. of time taken by individuals to complete
i.e. L.C.M. of 200,300,360 and 450 will be equal to 1800 sec.

Let’s say initial $x$ number of people were there, hence in a day efficiency of 1 man will be = $\frac{1}{30x}$
For $x+6$ same people efficiency of 1 man will be = $\frac{1}{20(x+6)}$
and both should be equal.
$\frac{1}{30x}$ = $\frac{1}{20(x+6)}$
after solving it, we will get $x$ = 12

Let the distance between City A and City B = $d$ km

Speed of first car = 36 km/hr and speed of second car = 48 km/hr

Let time taken by first car = $t$ hrs and time taken by second car = $(t – 3)$ hrs

Using, speed = distance/time for first car :

=> $\frac{d}{t} = 36$

=> $d = 36t$ ————–(i)

For second car, => $\frac{d}{t – 3} = 48$

Substituting value of $d$ from equation (i), we get :

=> $36t = 48t – 144$

=> $48t – 36t = 12t = 144$

=> $t = \frac{144}{12} = 12$ hrs

From equation (i), => $d = 36 \times 12 = 432$ km

=> Ans – (B)
