list price – actual price markrd by the company
net price (average price of all items inclusive all discounts,breakage & so on.) which is 425 i.e. 50% of the marked price

13. One group of each = 2+3+5 = 10 and 1 remainder for each = 1+1+1 = 3. 10+3 = 13

Out of 10 persons, 4 are graduates; so, (10 – 4) = 6 are under-graduates.

If there is no restriction, any three can be chosen from the ten in (10C3) = 120 ways.

Now, if all three chosen are under-graduates; it can take place in (6C3) = 20 ways.

Therefore, the probability that there will be no graduate among the three chosen = (20 / 120) = (1 / 6).

Therefore, the probability that there will be at least one graduate among the three chosen = {1 – (1 / 6)} = (5 / 6) = 0.8333.

6 pairs of earrings. So 12 earrings.

The total has to be 26, so let’s say there’s 6 pairs of earrings and the number of pairs has to be 4 less than the number of rings. So that would make 10 rings. The 10 rings has to be 2 1/2 greater than the number of pins. So you would divide 10/2.5 = 4 Pins. That would equate to a total of 12 earrings, 10 rings, and 4 pins. A total of 26 pieces.

X : (3000 x 8) + (2000 x 4) = 32000
Y : (4000 x 8) + (5000 x 4) = 52000
X:Y = 32000:52000 = 8:13
8k + 13k = 630
k = 30
X:8 x 30 = 240

451 times.
Explanation: There are 60 minutes in an hour.
In ¾ of an hour there are (60 * ¾) minutes = 45 minutes.
In ¾ of an hour there are (60 * 45) seconds = 2700 seconds.

In 2700 seconds 2700/6 = 450 times.
