Question

three resistors of 12ohm 24ohm and 30ohm magnitude are connected in series and the series combination is connected across 220v dc source compute the power dissipated in each resistor and the total power drawn from the source​

Answer 1

Explanation:

C)

Let the cost price be x

Since profit is given as 20%, selling price will be (1+0.2)x

Thus, selling price would be 1.2x.

When C.P. and S.P. are Rs. 20 less then,

C.P. =x−20

S.P. =1.2x−20

According to the given condition,

Now, 1.2x−20=1.3×(x−20)

⇒1.2x−20=1.3x−26

⇒1.3x−1.2x=−20+26

⇒0.1x=6

⇒x=60

therefore, the cost price of the article is Rs. 60.
