Selling a car gains 25% on sp. What %gain on cp?
A) 15b) 25c) 33.33d) 47.5
x*10=(x-10)*(10*2)
10x =20x-200
20x-10x=200
10x=200
x=20
check it if any step is wrong
Let no of men = x.
x men can do a piece of work in 10 days.
so, 1 man can do it in 10*x days.
Now (x-10) men do the work in 20 days.
so, 1 man ... in 20*(x-10).
so, 20(x-10) = 10x.
so, x = 20.
Ans is option (d).

A's age=9, B's age=38
Let present ages be 'a' and 'b'.
after 10 yrs A's age will be a+10
and that of B will be b+10
age of B before 10 yrs = b-10
so given condition is
a+10=2(b-10)
second condition is
a-b=9
solving these two equations we get
b=39
so after 10 yrs B's age will be 39+10=49
Answer: 33.33%
If suppose sp is 100% (assume)
Then gain % is 25%..
Then subtract it from sp we will get cp i.e 100-25=75%.
We know two basic formulas %gain=(gain/cp)*100 . or %loss=(loss/cp)*100.
So %gain=(25/75)*100=33.33
