0.275 + 0.569 – 0.336 = 0.508

Total number of students = 100

Number of students who like apples = 63

Number of students who like oranges = 76

Number of students who like both apple and orange = (63+76) - 100 = 139 - 100 = 39.

Total number of students = 100

Number of students who like apples = 63

Number of students who like oranges = 76

Number of students who like both apple and orange = (63+76) - 100 = 139 - 100 = 39.

Number of students who like apple only = 63 – 39 = 24

The man buys a refrigerator at Rs. 22,000 and pays an additional Rs. 1,000 for transport and Rs. 2,000 for installation.

Net cost price of refrigerator = Rs 25000

Profit = 15%

Selling price = (115/100) ×25000 = Rs 28,750

Let total work =  units

If number of persons in increased by 5

Then number of persons = 15 + 5 = 20

Now , Number of days taken by 20 people to complete the same work = days

Hence, Required number of days = 60 days – 45 days = 15 days.

⇒

⇒

⇒

Let the SP = Rs 100

Then, CP = 35% of 100 = Rs 35

Profit = Rs 65

Profit % = (65/35) ×100 = 185.71 %

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Number of people drinking only coffee = 30

Number of people drinking all three = 15

∴ Reqd. difference = 30 – 15 = 15

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Given data is insufficient to solve this question.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

3 + 2 x 6 – 4 ÷ 5 = 10
After changing the signs
= 3 ÷ 2 x 6 - 4 + 5 
= 9 - 4 + 5
= 10
Hence, option A is correct.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
