1 Answer

Answer :

d

Since each ring consists of five different letters, the total number of attempts

a successful attempt.

Maximum number of unsuccessful attempts = 625 - 1 = 624.

Description : On selling 25 balls at Rs. 1015, there is a profit equal to the cost price of 10 balls. What is the cost price of a ball? a) Rs. 31 b) Rs. 29 c) Rs. 35 d) Rs. 27 e) Rs. 39

Last Answer : b Profit = (S.P of 25 balls) - (C.P of 25 balls) = 1015 - (C.P of 25 balls) Given that Profit = (C.P of 10 balls) => 1015 - (C.P of 25 balls) = (C.P of 10 balls) => (C.P of 25 balls) + (C.P of 10 balls) = 1015 => C.P of 35 balls = 1015 => C.P of 1 ball=1015 / 35 = Rs. 29
