Option 1: Rs. 400
Option 2: Rs. 405
Option 3: Rs. 415
Option 4: Rs. 425
Correct Answer: Rs. 405
Solution : We know, Equivalent single discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, Where $a,b$ are successive discounts. So, $10+10-\frac{10\times 10}{100}=19$% $\therefore$ Required selling price = (100 – 19)% of 500 = $\frac{500 \times 81}{100}$ = Rs. $405$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 405

Solution : Given: 1% of 1% of 25% of 1000 = $\frac{1}{100}×\frac{1}{100}×\frac{25}{100}×1000$ = $0.025$ Hence, the correct answer is 0.025.

Option 1: $10:9$
Option 2: $9:10$
Option 3: $8:9$
Option 4: $9:8$
Correct Answer: $10:9$
Solution : Given: $\frac{A}{B} = \frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{B}{C} = \frac{6}{5}$ Multiplying both the equations we get, $\frac{A}{B}\times \frac{B}{C} = \frac{3}{4}\times\frac{6}{5}$ $\frac{A}{C} = \frac{9}{10}$ ⇒ $\frac{C}{A} = \frac{10}{9}$ $\therefore C: A=10:9$ Hence, the correct answer is $10:9$
