66. If selling price is doubled the profit triples. Find the profit percent.

(1) 300%
(2) 100%
(3) 316%
(4) 120%

Correct Answer: (1) 300%

Solution:Initial SP = X,

Final SP = 2X

∴ Profit is three times of CP according to the question

4 * CP = 2X

P = X/2

CP = 2X - X/2 = 3X/2

P% = 3X/2/X/2*100 = 300%

[ Profit % = profit/cp*100}

67. In a Cricket team of eleven. the average age of eleven play-ers is 28 years. Out of these the average ages of three groups of three players each are 25 years, 28 years and 50 years the captain and the younger player who is 11 years younger than the captain are not included in these group. The age of the captain is.

(1) 33 years
(2) 34 years
(3) 35 years
(4) 36 years

Correct Answer: (3) 35 years

Solution:let the age of captain = x

Age of younger player = (x-11)

Total age of 11 players = no. of players * average age

= 11 * 28 = 308 years

Total age of first group

Total age of second group

= 3 * 25 = 75

sum = 3 * 28 = 84

Total age of group third

= 3 * 30 = 90

age of 9 players

= 75 + 84 + 90 = 249

Sum of the age of captain and younger player = 308 - 249

x + (x-11) = 59

2x = 59+11

x= 70/2; x= 35

Age of captain= 35 years
