 The selling price is the same as the price of type B, which is 40 rupees per kg. 
The profit on 1 kg is given to be 2.5 rupees, giving the cost price of 1 kg of the mixture to be 37.5 rupees. 

We need to mix 30, 40 and 45 in a ratio of 37.5 rupees per kg. 

We can eliminate option A, as that would be simply $$\frac{30+40+45}{3}=\frac{115}{3}=38.33$$ rupees per kg. 
We need to look for what option could lead to a price of 37.5 rupees per kg. 

Option B, on mixing A and B, would give a mixture of 35 rupees per kg, which, when combined with 2 units of type C, gives a mixture worth 40 rupees per kg (2 units of 35 and 2 units of 45)

Option C gives the correct answer. Mixing two units of type A and 1 unit of type C would give three units of mixture worth 35 rupees per kg, using alligation. These 3 units, when mixed with 3 units of type B, would give an average of 35 and 40, which is 37.5 rupees per kg. 

Option D on mixing B and C will give a mixture worth 42.5 rupees per kg, which, when combined with two units of type A, gives a final mixture worth 36.25 rupees per kg. 

Option E  on mixing A and B will give a mixture worth 35 rupees per kg, which, when mixed with 5 unit of type 45, this will be more than the mid-point of 40, and hence can be eliminated. 

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer. 

Thinking about the problem, when the bartender refills the drink, 50% of the glass is with current concentration, and the other 50% (the one being filled) is 20%, since both are equal in quantities, the resulting concentration would be the mid-point between the two concentrations, or the average of the two values. 

1st refill (20+60)/2 = 40%

2nd refuill (20+40)/2 = 30%

3rd refill (20+30)/2 = 25%

4th refill (20+25)/2 = 22.5%

5th refill (20+22.5)/2 = 21.25%

Hence, after the 5th refill, the concentration would be less than 22%

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer. 

Given the milkman mixes 2 litres of water for every 6 litres of milk.

As the cost of water is negligible, the cost price of 8 litres of mixture is 6*80 = Rs. 480.

And the cost price of 1 litre of mixture is $$\frac{480}{8}=60$$.

Now he marks up the cost price of milk by 20% i.e. 

So, the marked price of 1 litre of milk is $$80\times\left(1+\frac{20}{100}\right)=96$$

And he gives a discount of 10%,

So the selling price of 1 litre of milk is $$96\times\left(1-\dfrac{10}{100}\right)=86.4$$

Hence, the profit percentage is $$\frac{86.4-60}{60}=\frac{26.4}{60}=44\%$$

Hence, the answer is 44%.

We have the original selling price as 450, and we are given that this was after a 25% discount, that means the original price would be, 
$$\frac{450}{0.75}=600$$

We are now asked the new selling price if it is sold at a 12.5% profit, 
0.125 is nothing but one eighth, $$\frac{600}{8}=75$$

So, the final selling price is 675 rupees. 

Suppose the tailor buys 100x meters of cloth.

In actuality, he gets 100x * 1.1 = 110x m of cloth.

Further, when selling he sells, 20% less fabric so if a person asks him 100x of cloth, he would sell him only 80x.

Hence, the total profit made by him = (110x/80x - 1) * 100 = 37.5%

He claimed to sell 24gms. But the actual amount he sold will be different. 

According to the faulty weighing 24 gms is 120% of actual weight.

The actual weight he sold will be $$\frac{24}{1.2}=20$$

C.P of 20 gm = $$2\cdot\frac{20}{50}=\frac{4}{5}$$

We are told that S.P of 24 gms is Rs. 1.

Profit percent = $$\dfrac{\left(1-\dfrac{4}{5}\right)}{\dfrac{4}{5}}$$ = 25%

Let's take the selling price and cost price of 1 pen to be $$s$$ nd $$c$$ respectively. 

We have the equation $$12s=15c$$, which would give te ratio of selling price to cost price as $$\frac{s}{c}=\frac{15}{12}=\frac{5}{4}$$

Essentially, if the cost price is 4, the selling price is 5

If we increase the selling price by 10%, it becomes 5.5

This would give us a profit of 1.5 per pen

Profit percentage would be $$\frac{1.5}{4}\times\ 100=1.5\times\ 25=37.5\%$$

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer. 

Let's take the amount borrowed by Anul to be 100

The interest paid by Anul to the back would be $$\frac{100\times\ 15\times\ 2}{100}=30$$, hence net amount paid back to the bank: 130

His 50 invested at 10% compound interest would turn to $$50\left(1.1\right)^2$$, and the 50 invested at 12% compound interest would turn to $$50\left(1.2\right)^2$$

Giving the final amount with him to be $$50\left[\left(1.1\right)^2+\left(1.2\right)^2\right]=50\left[1.21+1.44\right]=50\left(2.65\right)$$

Giving the net amount with Anul at the end of two years to be 132.5

This gives a net profit of 2.5 after paying back the amount of 130 with interest to the bank. 

Investing this money at 20% interest rate for one more year, Anuwl would have a total of $$2.5\times\ 1.2\ =\ 3$$

Hence 3% profit.

Total amount paid back by Raghu to Aman = $$100000\left(1.2\right)^3=172800$$

Total amount paid back by Aman to Ram = $$100000\left(1+3\times\frac{15}{100}\right)=100000\left(1.45\right)=145000$$

Hence, the net profit of Aman is 172800-145000 = Rs. 27800

Hence, the answer is Rs. 27800.

Using the installments formula, we get the equation, 
$$82000=\frac{X}{1.1}+\frac{3X}{1.21}$$
$$82000=\frac{1.1X}{1.21}+\frac{3X}{1.21}$$
$$82000=\frac{4.1X}{1.21}$$
$$X=24200$$

Total amount paid is 4X=96800

Interest paid is 96800-82000=14800
