4) Word-imagery association: The more ridiculous the imagery that the word sprouts in your brain is, the sooner you will
learn the word. I will give an example of this technique as well as the daily usage technique at the end of this write-up.
5) Sensory inclusion: The more number of senses you involve in the learning experience (in reality or in imagination), the
easier it is to remember things. In case of words you can use the sense of sight to conjuring up an image in your imagination

enunciating the words clearly and feeling every movement in your mouth and coordinating it with the sound that is made.

CP for Sunil ==> (100-CP)×100/100 = 50 or CP = Rs. 50 14. Ans: (a) Explanation: Let C.P. be Rs. x and S.P. be Rs. y. Difference = 33000 - 5700= 27300;
Monitors = 20.
(Divided by SP as Profit calculated on SP) Then, 3(y - x) = (2y - x) y = 2x. So rate of the cows for selling to gain 10% profit on total
Profit made on Printers sold = 2000×2 = 4000. Profit = Rs. (y - x) = Rs. (2x - x) = Rs. x.
Profit for Sunil = 100-50 = Rs 50 = 27300/7 = Rs. 3900
Monitors sold = 20 75% = 15 Now, CP for Sujeet = (SP-CP)×100/CP = 40 So profit % =100% (because 1 cow died so remaining= 10 1 2 = 7 )
Profit made on Monitors sold = 49000-4000 = Rs.45000. (100-CP)×100= 40CP or CP for Sujeet= Rs. 1000/14 15. Ans: (d) Explanation: Let CP is x.
Profit made per monitor = 45000/15 = 3000. Profit for Sujeet = 100-100/14 = 400/14 Then (1920 - x)/x × 100= (x - 1280)/x ×100
20% of CP of Monitor = 3000 Now, Difference in profit when SP is 100 = 50-400/14 =
CP of Monitor = 15000. 300/14.
CP of Printer = 7500 Now, Equating difference and SP, we have
300/14 : 100 : : 900 : SP
Total CP = 15000 20 + 7500×5 = 3, 37,500
SP = 900×100×14/300 = Rs. 4200
Total SP = 18000 15 + 9500×2 = 2, 89,000 6. Ans: (b) Explanation: Let originally he buy X kg for Rs.
Loss = 48,500 180
2. Ans: (b)Explanation: Total investment = Rs. 4725 Now, he will buy X+2 kg for Rs. 180.
Total SP = 1.4 4725 = 6615 Reduction in original price =10%
Now, Let the price of 4 seater be x then price of two (180/X)/kg × 90/100 = [180/(X+2)]/kg
90(X+2) = 100X
seater will be .75x.
X = 18
8x + 22 0.75x = 6615
Therefore, Originally he bought 18kg.

3. Ans: (c)Explanation: Total number of Microwave ovens Reduced Price = Rs. 9/kg
= 15 (12 sold +3 unsold) 7. Ans: (a) Explanation: SP = Rs. 24
Hence, Washing machines = 10 Let CP be X hence, Loss% = X
He sold 12 ovens and 8 washing machines (X-SP)× 100/X = X or (X-24) × 100/X = X
X^2-100X + 2400 = 0
Hence, In total he sold 80% of both
(X-60) (X-40) = 0
Thus, He sells 80% of both at a profit of Rs. 40,000.
X= 60 or 40
Cost of 80% of the goods = 0.8 2,05,000 = 1,64,000 8. Ans: (d) Explanation: Let CP of one be X and other be Y
Hence, Total SP = 1,64,000+40,000 = 2,04,000 X+Y = 1550 .(i)
CP = 2,05,000 ATQ:-
Loss = Rs.1000 0.77X + 1.27Y = 1550 (ii) (as no profit and no loss is

Land would be worth= 2.2Lakh×1.1×1.1 = Rs. 266200 50Y = 35650 or Y = 713
Profit of the Gainer = Rs. 21800 Hence, X = 1550-713 = 837
Profit % of the gainer = 21800×100/266200= Therefore, CP of each horse = 837,713
8.189(approx) 9. Ans: (d) Explanation: Let the CP be Rs. x/ orange
Also if loss% woudd have been asked of the loser Profit = 20%
