Two workers A and B are paid ₹500 and ₹600 per day respectively. If A completes a job in 24 days and B completes it in 18 days, who is more cost-effective?
AA is more cost-effective
BB is more cost-effective
CBoth are equally cost-effective
DCannot be determined
Correct Answer:
B. B is more cost-effective
Explanation:
Total cost for A = 500 × 24 = ₹12,000. Total cost for B = 600 × 18 = ₹10,800. B costs less, so B is more cost-effective.
If a number is increased by 25%, and then decreased by 20%, what is the net change?
A5% increase
B2% decrease
C1% increase
DNo change
Correct Answer:
A. 5% increase
Explanation:
Let original number = 100. After 25% increase = 125. After 20% decrease of 125 = 125 × 0.8 = 100. Wait, let me recalculate: 125 × (100-20)/100 = 125 × 80/100 = 100. Net change = 0. Actually answer is D (No change). Let me verify: 1.25 × 0.8 = 1. So net is no change. Correction: The answer should be D.
