A says total cost of 3 H is 4.77 including tax so we can easily find the cost... let cost be x cost of 3H is 3x 6% tax will make it 6*3x / 100 6*3x / 100 = 4.77 solve for x you have your answer B says cost is less than 6.5 from less you can easily guess that less can be any value so no need to solve...

Yes the OA is correct.
What answer you are getting?
A
z=u
we can not draw any information about x and y
[You can not assume lines to be parrallel]
B
ABCD is a parallelogram
z=x
and
y=u
but no link between x and y
A+B
we can easily conclude that x=y

4 table = 1/4 cup---------------------1
3 tea = 1 table
multiply by 4
12 tea = 4 table------------------2
from 1 and 2
4 table = 1/4 cup = 12 tea
that is
1/4 cup = 12 tea
1 cup = 48 tea
3/8 cup = 48 * 3/ 8 = 18 tea
ans : 18

hence we are left with
Total 46
Share 8
1 card drawn
prob that its share
8 / 46
= 4/23

Second is an easy one h(100) will be 2 * 4 * 6 * 8 .... 100 = 2^50 (1 * 2 * 3 ... 50) = 2^50 * 50! This h(100) will be divisible by all numbers from 1 to 50 adding 1 h(100) + 1 will not be divisible by any number from 1 to 50 hence smallest prime factor will be greater than 50 so answer is E Do let ...
