Answers

1.   A
If a person sells two items at the same price; one at a gain of x % and another at a loss of x %, then the seller always incurs a loss expressed as, So in this case, he will have a loss. Loss% = .25
2.   C
Simple interest for 2 years is Rs. 320
Simple interest for first year = 320/2 = 160
Similarly, simple interest for second year is also 160
Compound Interest for first year = 160
Compound Interest for second year = 340-160 = 180
we can see that compound Interest for second year is more than the simple interest for second year by 180-160 = 20
i.e., Rs.20 is the simple interest on Rs.160 for 1 year
Hence the rate of interest is 12.5%

Let Kiran's weight = x. Then
According to Kiran, 65 < x < 72
According to brother, 60 < x < 70
According to mother, x = 68
Given that equation 1,equation 2 and equation 3 are correct. By combining these equations,we can write as 65<x=68
i.e., x = 66 or 67 or 68
Average of different probable weights of Kiran = (66+67+68)/3 = 67
