27.) Given that the cost price of 10 oranges is equal to the
cost price of 1 kg of apples and the cost price of 12 apples
is equal to the cost price of 1 kg of oranges. If the

Answer Posted / shylu
8 apples
let 'x' & 'a' be the kg and number of oranges
let 'y' & 'b' be the kg and number of apples
GIVEN :
cost price:
10(x)=(y)1
a(1)=12(b)
10(x)/a(1)=(y)1/12(b)
10x * 12b =ay --> 1
selling price:
15(x)=(y)1
a(1)=b(?)
15(x)/a(1)=(y)1/b(?)
15x * ? =ay -->2
solve 1 & 2 equ (ie subtract 1 & 2)
the answer ill be 8b............
so itz 8 apples

Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument above? While fishing this past season, Samuel fell sick for a week and did not catch any fish during this time. Before becoming a fisherman, Samuel piloted a fishing boat whose members regularly caught record numbers of fish.

Two seasons ago, Samuel fished on another boat off Dutch Harbor and caught more fish than any other member of that boat.
