Bheja Fry Question

  Monica purchased a pressure cooker at 9/10th of its selling price.  Later she sold it at 8% more than its selling price.

What is her gain percentage  ??

In the first, we assign a value to original selling price.

Let us assume that original selling price of cooker is Rs 100.

Monica bought it at 9/10 th of original selling price.

==>>  cost price  =  9/10  *  original selling price

==>>  cost price =  9/10  *  100

==>>    cost price  =   90.

Monica sold the pressure cooker at 8% more than its original selling price.

==>>  New selling price  =  original price + 8% of original price 

==>>                = 100  +   8%of 100

==>>  New selling price =  100  +  8

==>> New selling price  =  108

This means Monica bought the cooker at  90 and resold it at  108.

Her gain =  108 -  90  =  18

To find out gain percentage,

Gain percentage  =   18/90  * 100

==>>          1/5   *  100

==>>     Gain percentage  =  20%    !!!

Cat's Head nebula

Cat's Head nebula is NOT a separate nebula. It's a small pillar of dust INSIDE the big *Carina Nebula*.

- Distance: *7,500 light-years* from Earth.

*Why called Cat's Head?*

- It looks like a *cat sitting with its back to us, head turned right*.!!!!

- Long dark body = cat's back and tail

- Top rounded part = head with 2 small ears

- *Red glowing dot = Cat's eye!* That eye is actually a *baby star* born inside dust.!!!!

*How it formed?*

- Nearby there are super big stars (Eta Carinae - 5 million times brighter than Sun).

- Their strong UV light and wind blew away light dust, but dense dust stayed - carved into cat shape.

- It's temporary - after some lakh years, it will break and vanish. 

With which country France shares longest border ??

 This information was shared on Koun Banega Karodpati program.

When I heard this piece of information, I was surprised   !!!

Question 

With which country, France shares its longest border  ??

After hearing this question, I imagined map of Europe.

I could name Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany etc.

All of these are comparatively small countries ......

Out of them, France shares longest border with Spain about 623 km  !!!

Believe it or not,

  France shares its longest border with   BRAZIL    !!!!

France has an unique situation because it has land both in Europe and South America ......

The longest land border is between French Guiana and Brazil in South American continent  !!!

French Guiana is not a mere French colony  !!!

It is a full part of France same as Paris ......

So , this region is officially France  --  Brazil  border     !!!

Correct answer :   BRAZIL    !!!
