    can buy 25 headphones or 50 earphones with the money with him. However, instead of spending the entire amount, he saves 20% of the amount for a meal and buys 10 headphones and some earphones.

    D 32% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ Let the amount of money with Anil be Rs. '150d' So, the price of 1 headphone = (150/25) = Rs. '6d' Also, the price of 1 earphone = (150/50) = Rs. '3d' ATQ; Amount retained for a meal = 0.20 X 150d = Rs. '30d' Price of 10 headphones = 10 X 6d = Rs. '60d' Remaining amount = 150d - 30d - 60d = Rs. '60d' So, number of earphones he can purchase now = (60d/3d) = 20 Therefore, required percent = (20/50) X 100 = 40%
