The cost of two varieties of paint is Rs. 3969 per 2 kg and Rs. 1369 per 2 kg respectively. After how many years the value of both paint will be the same, if variety 1 appreciates at 26% per annum and variety 2 depreciates at 26% per annum?

A2 years.

B3 years.

C2 1/2 years

DNone of these

Simply appreciates variety 1 by 26% and depreciates variety 2 by 26% as:
3969(1+1/26)^n=1369(1+1/26)^n
For n = 2 we get both values equal.
Variety 2 Variety1
3969.00 1369 Initially

A man purchased a watch for Rs.400 and sold it at a gain of 20% of the selling price. The selling price of the watch is:

ARs. 500

BRs. 460

CRs. 480

DRs. 440

Explanation:

Given Cost price of watch = 400
and Gain% = 20% of SP
20%of SP = SP - CP
CP = SP(1-20/100)
=> CP = SP*4/5
=> SP = CP * 5/4
=>SP = 400*5/4
=> SP = Rs. 500

NOTE:
If the question if it would have given like"purchased for Rs. 400 and sold it at a gain of 20% of the Cost price ?"
Then
Given Cost price of watch = 400
and Gain% = 20%
Gain = 400 * 20/100 = 80
Cost price = (400 + 80) = 480

As in this questions it has given "purchased for Rs. 400 and sold it at a gain of 20% of the Selling price ?"
