LET ACTUAL PRICE BE 100 RS(FOR CONVINIENCE)
THEREFORE IF PRICE IS CUT BY 20%
THEREFORE NEW PRICE=100-20=80 RS
THEREFORE WE NEED TO ADD X% TO 80 RS TO MAKE IT 20 RS AND ADD IT TO 80 TO MAKE IT 100RS
THEREFORE, 80X/100 = 20
I.E. 4X/5=20
THEREFORE x=20*5/4
=5*5
=25
HENCE 25% OF PRICE SHOULD BE ADDED TO MAKE THE PRICE EQUAL TO THE ACTUAL PRICE.

Now as per question, Kamal invested for 12 months and Sameer invested for 7 months.
So, Kamal:Sameer=(9000×12​):(8000×7​)
=108.56=27:14
Sameer ratio in profit will be =6970×4114​=Rs.2380

Ans =18
Explanation:
Assume that initial there were 3*X bullets.
So they got X bullets each after division.
All of them shot 4 bullets. So now they have (X – 4)
bullets each.
But it is given that,after they shot 4 bullets each, total
number of bullets remaining is equal to the bullets each
had after division i.e. X
Therefore, the equation is
3 * (X – 4) = X
3 * X – 12 = X
2 * X = 12
X = 6
Therefore the total bullets before division is = 3 * X = 18

1600 years contain 0 odd day.
300 years contain 1 odd day.
94 years = (23 leap years + 71 ordinary years)
= (46 + 71) odd days
= 117 odd days, i.e., 5 odd days
Days from 1st January 1995 to 28th February 1995
= (31 + 28) days = 59 days
= (8 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days
∴ Total number of odd days
= (0 + 1 + 5 + 3) = 9 odd days i.e., 2 odd days.
So, the required day is Tuesday.

Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.

The work done by A in 8 days is = 8/ 12 = 2/3

Means A alone completes 2/3 part of work.

Remaining work which is (1–2/3) = 1/3 is completed by B in 8–2 = 6 days

So the complete work done by B in 6/(1/3) = 18 days.

B alone can complete the work in 18 days.
