40% In Profit and Loss problems always assume some values. Its the fastest way to solve problems. In problems having marked price, assume cost price to be 100. CP = 100. There is a gain of 19 %. So, selling price would be 119 SP = 119. There is 15 % discount on marked price. So 119 is actually 85 % of the marked price. To get marked price -> 119 -> 85 ? -> 100 Cross multiply. =(119 * 100)/85 = (119 * 20)/17 = 7 * 20 = 140 MP = 140 Above cost price = 140 -100 = 40

The correct answer is: Can't say How to solve this question? Even though phytate blocks the uptake of these minerals, there is no evidence given that people in third-world countries have low levels of these compounds. The passage says that soy- and rice-based diets are very popular in these countries, but it does not go far enough to be able to say definitively that persons are deficient in these essentials. Even if the statement is true, it is not supported by the information in the passage, and the response is "Can't say".

Soy- and rice- based diets are very popular in Third World countries. The soy bean has a higher phytate content than any other grain or legume that has been studied. Phytate is an organic acid, present in the bran or hulls of all seeds, which blocks the uptake of essential minerals - calcium, magnesium, iron and especially zinc - in the intestinal tract. Soy beans seem to be highly resistant to many phytate-reducing techniques such as long, slow cooking. Only a long period of fermentation will significantly reduce the phytate content of soy beans. Thus, fermented products such as tempeh and miso provide nourishment that is easily assimilated. When precipitated soy products are consumed with meat, the mineral-blocking effects of the phytates are reduced. Question #4 People in Third World countries have low levels of calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc Answer options True False Can't say
