Option 1: 30%
Option 2: 37.5%
Option 3: 42.5%
Option 4: 45%
Correct Answer: 37.5%
Solution : Given: The cost price (CP) of 10 articles is equal to the selling price (SP) of 16 articles. Let the CP of each article = Re. 1 Then, CP of 16 articles = Rs. 16 SP of 16 articles = CP of 10 articles = Rs. 10 Loss = CP of 16 articles – SP of 16 articles = 16 – 10 = Rs. 6 $\therefore$ Loss percentage = $\frac{6}{16}$ × 100 = 37.5% Hence, the correct answer is 37.5%.

Question : Directions: A bus driver started from point A and drove 25 km towards the east. He turned left and drove 30 km. He then turned left and drove 15 km. He again turned left drove 30 km and reached point B. How far and in which direction is the point B from the point A?
Option 1: 40 km, West
Option 2: 10 km, West
Option 3: 40 km, East
Option 4: 10 km, East
Correct Answer: 10 km, East
Solution : According to the instructions given, the diagram is as follows –
Here, A is the starting point and B is the finishing point and AB is the total distance from the starting point.
AC = 25 km; BC = ED = 15 km; CD = BE = 30 km And, AB = AC – BC = 25 – 15 = 10 km
So, the distance between point B and point A is 10 and is in the East direction. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
