we know,
area=b*h
b gets increased by 20% i.e (b+0.20b)
h gets decreased by 20% i.e (h-0.20h)
rewriting the equation(area=b*h),
area=(b+0.20b)*(h-0.20h)
area=b(1+0.20)*h(1-0.20)
area=b(1.20)*h(0.80)
area=b*h*(1.20)*(0.80)
area=b*h*(0.96)
i.e new area=0.96 times the original area
if 100% was the original area,it has decreased to 96%
so,100%-96%= 4%

(x-2)^3==x^3-6x^2+12x-8
(x-2)^3==(2^(2/3)+2^(1/3))^3
therefore,by solving
Ans: x^3-6x^2+x== -8-5*2^(2/3)-5*2^(1/3)

Take one fruit from box with label mixture. If we see
orange, because the basket lies (it cant have a mixture),
then it has only oranges. The other 2 are labeled apples and
oranges. The one labeled apples,
cannot have oranges inside, cos they are allready been
identified, and because it lies, it cannot have apples either.
So it has a mixture. And we are left with the one labeled
oranges that lies and has apples.
