Option 3: 20%
Option 4: 12%
Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : Given: A table is bought for Rs. 2450 and sold for Rs. 2940. Here the cost price (CP) = Rs. 2450 The selling price (SP) = Rs. 2940 So, the gain percentage = $\frac{SP-CP}{CP}×100$ = $\frac{2940-2450}{2450}×100$ = $\frac{490}{2450}×100$ = 20% Hence, the correct answer is
Question : A sphere of radius 18 cm is melted and then a solid cylinder of base radius 4 cm is made from it. What is the height of the solid cylinder?
