    Solution

    Answer: B Quantity I: CP of the article = Rs.3000 SP of the article = 3000 + 240 = Rs.3240 So,┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а 405 * (100 тАУ x) = 32400 40500 тАУ 405x = 32400 x = 20 Quantity II: Let CтАЩs present age = тАШxтАЩ years So, BтАЩs present age = (x тАУ 12) years And AтАЩs present age = (x тАУ 12 тАУ 6) = (x тАУ 18) years 12x тАУ 180 = 7x x = 36 So, age of A after 4 years = 36 тАУ 18 + 4 = 22 years Hence, Quantity I < Quantity II
