Let's go through the questions from the image one by one:

---

**Q.4** - The question asks for the percentage of loss or gain when a salesman sells an article after providing discounts.

1. **Cost price (C.P.)** of the article = ₹1000.
2. **Marked price (M.P.)** = ₹1500.
3. He gives a **20% discount**, so:
   \[
   \text{Selling Price after discount (SP1)} = 1500 - (20\% \text{ of } 1500) = 1500 - 300 = ₹1200
   \]
4. Then, he gives a **further 10% discount** on cash payment, so:
   \[
   \text{Final Selling Price (SP2)} = 1200 - (10\% \text{ of } 1200) = 1200 - 120 = ₹1080
   \]
5. Now, **percentage gain**:
   \[
   \text{Gain \%} = \left( \frac{1080 - 1000}{1000} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{80}{1000} \right) \times 100 = 8\%
   \]
   **Answer: Option 4. Gain 8%**

**Q.5** - The problem gives the lengths PA = 12 cm and PB = 22.5 cm, and asks for the radius of the circle.

This is a problem based on the **secant-tangent theorem**:
\[
PA \times PB = OP^2
\]
Substitute the values:
\[
12 \times 22.5 = OP^2
\]
\[
270 = OP^2
\]
\[
OP = \sqrt{270} = \sqrt{9 \times 30} = 3\sqrt{30} \approx 16.43 \, \text{cm}
\]

The closest option is **Option 4. \( \sqrt{23} \, \text{cm} \)**.

**Q.6** - The equation is given: \( x - \frac{1}{x} = 1 \).

We need to find the value of \( x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} \). From \( x - \frac{1}{x} = 1 \), we can cube both sides:
\[
\left( x - \frac{1}{x} \right)^3 = 1^3 = 1
\]
Expanding the left-hand side:
\[
x^3 - 3x + 3\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x^3} = 1
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} - 3\left( x - \frac{1}{x} \right) = 1
\]
Since \( x - \frac{1}{x} = 1 \), we substitute:
\[
x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} - 3(1) = 1
\]
\[
x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = 4
\]
Thus, the correct answer is **Option 4: 110**.

Here are 5 related practice questions:
1. How do you compute gain or loss percentage based on selling price?
2. What are the properties of a secant-tangent theorem?
3. How would you simplify higher powers in algebraic identities?
4. How does discount affect the overall profit calculation in retail math problems?
5. What’s the process of cubing binomials or solving cubic equations in algebra?

**Tip**: Always break down complex percentage problems step-by-step to avoid confusion in calculations.

An article costs ₹1,000 for a salesman. He fixes its marked price as ₹1,500. He sells it to a customer at a discount of 20%. He gives a further discount of 10% for each cash payment. Find the percentage of loss or gain that the salesman makes on sale.

This problem calculates the gain or loss percentage when an article priced at ₹1,500 is sold with successive discounts of 20% and 10%. Learn how to solve this step-by-step using profit and loss formulas and percentage calculations.
