Answer 1

Answer:

three

There are three main tenses: past, present, and future. In English, each of these tenses can take four main aspects: simple, perfect, continuous (also known as progressive), and perfect continuous.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

make the cp of pen x

since profit is 20 percent while selling it.

so the sp would be x plus 20 percent of x.

You know the value of sp now which is 6x/5

Now again, had the pen been sold at 20 percent loss,

New sp equals x minus 20 percent of x,

Now you know the value of new sp which is 4x/5

Since the condition state that had it been sold at New sp it would fall short by rupee 100 than original.

Therefore a equation is formed.

6x/5 - 4x/5=100

=>2x/5=100

=>x=(100 x 5)/2

so x value is rupee 250.
