Hi Akshay,

Its So simple....

a)He can't buy any books with the remaning money....

bcoz...

25 p = 100 ,

so each p=4
15 b = 100, so each b=100/15

Now, he has kept aside 15%, that is 15 Rs

So, remaining is (5*4) + X * (100/15) + 15 = 100

X * (100/15) = 100 - 15 -20, so,

X = 65 * 15 / 100 = 39/4 ~ 9

So cant buy any books...



b)The answer is 12..

v have l*b*h=128,

l=b(//Square plt),

So h become 2...

Then...

l=8+2+2=12


&& One thing..

Why dont u start a new thread???
plz post questions with a new thread....

Thanks & Regards,
Riju.

Answer is d) None.
traveling expenses=Rs 15
cost of 1 pencil=Rs 4
cost of 5 pencils=Rs 20
Money left =100-(15+20)= 65
Now, as in Rs 100 we can have 15 books
in Re 1, we can have 15/100 books
in the money left i.e 65 Rs we can have 15/100*65= 9.75
So person can buy 9 books and rest of the money he can keep with himself
