    A shopkeeper gives a 35% discount on the marked price of a bottle. If the selling price of the bottle is ₹1,755, then the marked price of the bottle will be:

    Solutions

    Given:

    A shopkeeper gives a 35% discount on the marked price of a bottle with a selling price of ₹1,755.

    ∴ The marked price of the bottle is Rs. 2700.

  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

    A person's monthly income was ₹13,500, but his monthly expenses were ₹9,000. His income climbed by 14% the next year, but his expenses increased by 7%. The increase in his saving is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    Monthly income is Rs. 13500 and monthly expenses is Rs. 9000,

    In the next year the monthly income increased by 14% and the expenses increased by 7%.

    Formula used:

    Income = expenditure + savings

    Calculations:

    When income is Rs. 13500 and expenditure is Rs. 9000, the savings = 13500 - 9000 = Rs. 4500

    In the next year, income increases by 14%, 13500 + 13500 × 14%

    ∴ The answer is 28%

  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    PQR is a triangle right angled at Q and PQ ∶ QR = 3 ∶ 4. What is the value of sin P + sin Q + sin R?

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    As per the question,

     sin P + sin Q + sin R = QR/PR + 1 + PQ/PR

    The sine of a 90-degree angle is always 1, because for a right angle, the opposite side and the hypotenuse are equal.

    = 4/5 + 1 + 3/5

    = 12/5

  • Question 4/10
    2 / -0.5

    If A = 10∘ , what is the value of:

    Solutions

    Substituting the values of trigonometric functions-

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    An angle of depression from top of the building towards point B on the ground is 60°. The angle of elevation from point A on ground towards the 6th floor of the building is 30°. The distance between the Point A and base of the building is 450 units. The distance between the Point B and A is 150 units. Find the height of the building from above 6th floor. (Point B is nearer to the base of the building)

    Solutions

    Given:

    OA = 450 units

    OB = 300 units

    Calculation:

    Angle of elevation from point B is equal to the angle of depression from top to point B.

    Angle of elevation from point B = 60°

    Now in ΔPOB, for ∠PBO = 60°

    ⇒ tan60° = OP/OB

    ⇒ OP = 300 × √3 = 300√3 units

    Now in ΔMOA,

    ⇒ tan30° = OM/OA

    ⇒ OM = (1/√3) × 450 = 150√3 units

    Required height = MP = OP – OM

    ⇒ Required height = 300√3 - 150√3

    ⇒ Required height = 150√3 units

  • Question 6/10
    2 / -0.5

    In the given figure, lines AB and CD are parallel to line FG. E is a point on the line FG. It is given that ∠ABE = 110°, ∠ECD = 95° and ∠BEC = x°. The value of x is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    AB || CD, ∠ABE = 110°, ∠ECD = 95°

    Concept:

    Properties of lines and angles.

    Calculation:

    Let AB is parallel to FG, then ∠ABE = ∠BEG = 110° (Alternate angles)

    Also, it is given that CD is parallel to AB and we have assumed that AB is parallel to FG, then CD is parallel to FG .

    Therefore, considering CD║FG and CE is the transversal,

    Then ∠DCE + ∠CEG = 180° (Co-interior angles)

    95° + ∠CEG = 180°

    ∠CEG = 85°

    Now, ∠BEG = ∠BEC + ∠CEG

    110° = x + 85°

    x = 25°

    Thus, the value of the ∠BEC = x = 25°.

    The correct answer is '25º'.

  • Question 7/10
    2 / -0.5

    The bar graph given below shows the marked price and value of discount of 7 articles L, M, N, P, Q, R and S.

    The total discount on all the articles is what percent of the total marked price of all the articles?

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    Total discount on all the articles = 600 + 300 + 600 + 500 + 400 + 300 + 300 = 3000

    Total marked price of all the articles = 1200 + 800 + 1000 + 700 + 500 + 600 + 1100 = 5900

    Percentage of total discount to total marked price = 3000/5900 × 100 = 50.84%

    ∴ Option 2 is the correct answer.

  • Question 8/10
    2 / -0.5

    The ratio of the present age of Chinky and Minky is 4 ∶ 5 and the present age of Chinky’s mother is 9/2 times Minky’s age 5 years ago and the present age of Minky’s mother is 7/3 times of Chinky’s age after 3 years. If after 15 years the average age of Minky’s mother and Chinky’s mother is 55, then find the Difference between Chinky’s and Minky’s present age.

    Solutions

    Given:

    The ratio of the present age Chinky and Minky = 4 ∶ 5

    The present age of Chinky’s mother = (9/2) × Minky’s age 5 years ago

    The present age of Minky’s mother = (7/3) × Chinky’s age after 3 year

    Concept used:

    Divide the age according to ratio.

    Formulae used:

    Average Age = Sum of total age/Total person

    Calculations:

    Let the present age of Chinky be 4x and Minky be 5x

    5 year ago Minky’s age = 5x – 5

    The present age of Chinky’s mother = (9/2) × Minky’s age 5 years ago

    So, the present age of Chinky’s mother = (9/2) × (5x – 5)

    ⇒ (45x – 45)/2

    After 15 years, Chinky’s mother age = ((45x – 45)/2) + 15

    ⇒ (45x – 15)/2

    Chinky’s age after 3 years = 4x + 3

    The present age of Minky’s mother = (7/3) × Chinky’s age after 3 year

    So, the present age of Minky’s mother = (7/3) × (4x + 3)

    ⇒ (28x/3) + 7

    After 15 years, Minky’s mother age = (28x/3) + 7 + 15

    ⇒ (28x + 66)/3

    Total age of Chinky’s mother and Minky’s mother after 15 years = ((45x – 15)/2) + ((28x + 66)/3)

    ⇒ (135x – 45 + 56x + 132)/6

    ⇒ (191x + 87)/6

    Average age of Chinky’s mother and Minky’s mother after 15 years = Sum of total age/Total person

    ⇒ (191x + 43)/(6 × 2)

    ⇒ (191x + 87)/12 = 55

    ⇒ 191x = 573

    ⇒ x = 3

    The present age of Chinky = 4x = 4 × 3 = 12

    The present age of Minky = 5x = 5 × 3 =15

    The Difference between Chinky’s and Minky’s present age = 15 – 12 = 3 years

    The Difference between Chinky’s and Minky’s present age is 3 years

  • Question 9/10
    2 / -0.5

    Length of train P and train Q are 270 m and 330 m respectively. Average speed of train P and Q is equal to difference between speeds of trains P and Q which is equal to 108 km/hr. If train Q crosses train P running in same direction in 'a + 5' seconds then find the length of platform that train P crosses in 'a + 35 seconds?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Length of train P and Q are 270m and 330m

    Solution:

    According to the problem, 

    Speed of Q - Speed of P = 108kmph..............1

    The Sum of the speed of train P and Q = 2 x 108 = 216kmph

    Speed of train P + Speed of train Q  = 216kmph............................2

    From 1 & 2

    Speed of train Q = 162 kmph

    Speed of train P = 54 kmph

    As Trains are in same direction, so relative speed = 162 - 54 = 108 kmph

    Train Q crosses train P running in the same direction in 'a + 5' seconds

    600/(a+5) = 108 x 5/18     (1kmph = 5/18 mps)

    600/(a+5) = 30

    a = 15

    Length of platform that train P crosses in 'a + 35' seconds = (270 + X)/(a+35) = 54 x 5/18

    (270 + X)/(15 + 35) = 15

    (270 + X) = 750

    X = 750 - 270 = 480m

    Hence option (4) is correct.

    Mistake Points

    Please note that the difference between speeds of P and speed of Q means

    Speed of P ~ speed of Q 

    which means 

    either (speed of P - speed of Q) or (speed of Q - speed of P) is true.

    So we have to determine out of these two which condition is possible. Here train Q is crossing train P, this means speed of train Q is more. so the second condition is true.

    So Q = 162 km/hr and P = 54 km/hr

  • Question 10/10
    2 / -0.5

    The ratio of the marks obtained by Yash in English to Hindi is 15 : 16 and the marks obtained in Maths to Science is 5 : 6. The aggregate marks obtained is 64% in the four subjects together. If the marks obtained in English and Maths are the same and the maximum marks in each subject are 100 then find the total marks obtained by him in Hindi and Science together.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Marks obtained in English : Hindi = 15 : 16

    Marks obtained in Maths : Science = 5 : 6

    Average marks obtained = 64%

    Marks obtained in English = Marks obtained in Maths 

    Maximum marks in each subject = 100

    Formula used:

    Average marks = Total marks obtained in all the subjects/Total number of subjects

    Calculation:

    Let the marks obtained by Yash in English and Hindi be 15x and 16x respectively.

    And, the marks obtained by Yash in Maths and Science be 5y and 6y respectively.

    ATQ, 15x = 5y

    ⇒ y = 3x

    Total marks in all subject = 4 × 100 = 400

    The aggregate marks obtained in the four subjects together = 64%

    Therefore, (15x + 16x + 5y + 6y)  = 400 × 64%

    ⇒ 31x + 11y = 400 × 64/100

    ⇒ 31x + 11y = 256

    ⇒ 31x + 33x = 256 (11y = 11 × 3x = 33x)

    ⇒ x = 4 

    ⇒ y = 3x = 12

    Total marks obtained in Hindi and Science together = 16x + 6y = 64 + 72 = 136

    Hence, the correct answer is 136.
