(b) 16.66%
Earlier for ₹x we could purchase y gm of sugar.
Now we pay ₹1.2x for y gm of sugar
(As there was an increase in price so, x + 20%x = 1.2x)
At current rates for ₹x you can purchase y/1.2 gm of sugar
So the reduced consumption is y-(y/1.2)
Percentage change = (reduced consumption/ original consumption ) *100
That is (0.2/1.2) *100 = 16.66% (approx)

let,first num be x and second num be y
hcf =264
lcm=44
given equation
x/2=44 i.e x=88
product of 2 numbers is equal to lcm*hcf
88*y=44*264
y=132

Ans- 6,6 litres
Let x Litres from can1 (where, water = x/4 litres and milk = 3x/4 litres)
Now
12-x liters from can 2 ( where, water = 6-x/2, milk = 6-x/2)
Now given
water/milk = 3/5
0.25x+6-0.5x / 0.75 +6-0.5x = 3/5
6-0.25x/6+0.25 = 3/5
Solve it you get
x = 6 litres from can1
Then 12-x= 12-6=6 litres from can2

Ques:- What is the value of (p-1)3 when p=15/18+5/16-20/24?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:03:16:
p=5/6+5/16-5/6
both 5/6’s get cancelled.
so, p=5/16
p=0.3125, therefore (p-1)3 value is (0.3125-1)3= -0.6875*3
=-2.0625.

Take 5 pills from jar 1, 4 pills from jar2,…. and 1 pill
from jar 5 and put altogether in the scale. the ideal
weight should be (1+2+3+4+5)x10= 150gms. for eg if the jar2
is contaminated then the weight will be 146 gms. so
depending on the amount of weight loss we can identify the
contaminated jar.
