    Question

    The cost price of “cold

    drinks” is ₹460. Its marked price is ₹40 less than its cost price, and then a 10% discount is given on the marked price. Quantity I: 120% of the cost price of “chips”. Quantity II: 94% of the selling price of “cold drinks”. In the question, two Quantities I and II are given. You have to solve both the Quantity to establish the correct relation between Quantity-I and Quantity-II and choose the correct option. 
    A Quantity-I < Quantity-II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Quantity-I = Quantity-II or No relation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Quantity-I ≤ Quantity-II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Quantity-I > Quantity-II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Quantity-I ≥ Quantity-II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cost price (cold drinks) = 460 Marked price = 460 − 40 = 420 Selling price (after 10% discount) = 420 × 90/100 = 378 Quantity II = 94% of selling price = 378 × 94/100 = (378 × 94) / 100 = (37800 − 2268) / 100 = 35532 / 100 = 355.32 Quantity I = 120% of cost price of chips = 1.2 × (CP of chips) Since CP of chips is not given, Quantity I cannot be compared with 355.32. Correct option: Relationship cannot be established
