Solution(Q.1-4): If
we start from backwards, when everybody ate three cookies, we get the following
table, with the help of which rest of the questions can be solved easily.

	Nisha	Nitu	Soha	Sonali
First	32	–	–	–
Second	24	24	–	–
Third	12	12	12	–
Fourth	3	3	3	3
Fifth	71	39	15	3

5. Solution: Cost
price of V = `50

Transportation cost = `30

Total cost price = 50 + 30 = `80

Profit = 4%

Selling price = 80 × 104

100 = `83.2

6. Solution:
Selling price of X = (Cost price + Cost on transportation + Profit) = 250 + 20
+ 5 = `275

Cost price of W = Selling price + Loss = 100 + 10 = `110

Reqd % = 275*100/110% = 250% of the cost price of W.

7. Solution: Loss
on Y = Cost price of Y – Selling price of Y= 400*100/96-40 = Rs. 16.66

Loss on W = `Rs. 10

Required ratio = 16.66 : 10 = 833 : 500

8. Solution:
Selling price of Z = Cost price of Z + Cost on transportation + Profit = 400 +
40 + 440*6/100 =`466.4

Selling price of X = `275

Difference = 466.4 – 275 = `191.4

9. Solution:
Selling price of V = (Cost price + Cost of Transportation) × 95/100 = (50 + 30)
× 95/100 = `Rs. 76

So, Selling price of Z = `466.4

So, Required % = 466.4 – 76/466.4*100% = 83.7% less than
selling price of Z.
