If ‘G*H means ‘add G to H’, G%H means ’G is subtracted from H’, [email protected] means G divides H and G&H means ‘multiply G by H’; if two cars were purchased at P rupees each and one of them was sold for Q rupees and the other one for R rupees, where Q is greater than P and R is less than P, what is the profit made by the person who purchased the cars?

If ‘G*H means ‘add G to H’, G%H means ’G is subtracted from H’, [email protected] means G divides H and G&H means ‘multiply G by H’; if two cars were purchased at P rupees each and one of them was sold for Q rupees and the other one for R rupees, where Q is greater than P and R is less than P, what is the profit made by the person who purchased the cars? Correct Answer (2&P)%(Q*R)

Symbols

G*H

G%H

G&H

Meaning

G + H

H - G

H ÷ G

G × H

 

Total Selling Price = Q + R

Total Cost Price = P + P = 2 × P

Profit = Total Selling Price - Total Cost Price = (Q + R) - (2 × P)

After replacing the mathematical signs by symbols, we get (2&P)%(Q*R).

Hence, option 5 is the correct answer.
