| Fuel | Old prices/ litre (in Rs) |
New price/ litre (in Rs) |
% Decrease |
| Petrol / L | 45.62 | 40.62 | ______ |
| Diesel / L | 32.86 | 30.86 | ______ |
| LPG/14.2kg | 304.70 | 279.70 | ______ |
Complete the above table.
उत्तर
| Fuel | Old prices/ litre (in Rs) |
New price/ litre (in Rs) |
% Decrease |
| Petrol / L | 45.62 | 40.62 | 10.96% |
| Diesel / L | 32.86 | 30.86 | 6.09% |
| LPG/14.2kg | 304.70 | 279.70 | 8.20% |
For Petrol/L,
Old price = ₹ 45.62
New price = ₹ 40.62
Decrement in price = ₹ 45.62 – ₹ 40.62 = ₹ 5
∴ Decrease % = `5/45.62 xx 100`
= `50000/4562`
= 10.96%
For Diesel/L,
Old price = ₹ 32.86
New price = ₹ 30.86
Decrement in price = ₹32.86 – ₹30.86 = ₹ 2
∴ Decrease % = `2/32.86 xx 100`
= `200/32.86`
= 6.0869
= 6.09%
For LPG,
Old price = ₹ 304.70
New price = ₹ 297.70
Decrement in price = ₹304.70 – ₹279.70 = ₹ 25
∴ Decrease % = `25/304.70 xx 100`
= `2500/304.70`
= 8.20%

Sunscreens block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays. For example, if you apply sunscreen with SPF 15, you get 1 minute of UV rays for every 15 minutes you stay in the sun.
Suppose a sunscreen allows 25% of the sun’s UV rays.
