ABCD is a quadrilateral with ∠A = 3(x + 2)°, ∠B = 2(2x − 7)°, ∠C = 69° and ∠D = ∠C − 8°. What is the value of ∠B?
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 122°.
Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
∠D = 69° – 8° = 61°
∠A = (3x + 6)°
∠B = (4x – 14)°
(3x + 6)° + (4x – 14)° + 69° + 61° = 360
⇒ 7x + 122° = 360°
⇒ 7x = 238°
⇒ x = 34°
⇒ ∠B = 4 × 34° – 14° = 136° – 14° = 122°
Pipe A can fill a tank in 12 hours, pipe B can fill the same tank in 21 hours and pipe C can fill the same tank in 16 hours. The time taken by them to fill the same tank if they operate together is:
A and B invest ₹50,000 and ₹70,000, respectively, in a business. After 1 year, the total profit is distributed, including simple interest a 10% per annum on the capital of each partner. If the total profit, including interest, is ₹18,000, what is A's share of the profit?
Given that 170.24 = x, 170.51= y and xz = y4, then the value of z is close to:
The amount on a sum of ₹6,500 at 20% per annum compound interest, compounded annually, in 2 years will be:
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹9,360.
Principal (P) = 6500
Rate (R) = 20%
Time (T) = 2 years
Amount = P(1 + R/100)2
⇒ 6500(1.2)2 = 6500 × 1.44 = ₹9360
By selling 6 tablets for a rupee, a man loses 35%. To gain 30% how many must he sell for a rupee?
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 3.
SP per tablet = 1/6
CP per tablet = (1/6)/65 × 100 = 100/390 = 10/39
For 30% gain, SP per tablet = (10/39) × (13/10) = 1/3
Number of tablets for 1 rupee = 3
A software developer sells a license for a new application to a reseller at a 20% discount. An installment and support fee of 15% is added to the discounted price. The reseller then sells the license for ₹7800 more, making a 25% profit. Determine the original marked price of the software license by the developer.
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ₹33,913.04.
Let MP = M
SP = 0.8M
Reseller price = 0.8M × 1.15 = 0.92M
0.92M + 7800 = 1.25 × 0.92M
⇒ 7800 = 0.23M
⇒ M = 7800/0.23 ≈ 33913.04
A 325 m long train overtakes a man moving at a speed of 5 km/hr (in the same direction) in 45 seconds. How much time (in seconds) will it take this train to completely cross another 440 m-long train, moving in the opposite direction at a speed of 20 km/hr?
In an election between two candidates, 95% of the registered voters cast their vote and 20% of the votes polled were found invalid. The winning candidate got 59% of the valid votes and won the election by a margin of 1881 votes. How many voters were registered?
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 13750.
Let registered voters = R
Votes polled = 0.95R
Valid votes = 0.80 × 0.95R = 0.76R
Winner got 59% of valid votes = 0.59 × 0.76R = 0.4484R
Loser got 41% of valid votes = 0.41 × 0.76R = 0.3116R
0.4484R – 0.3116R = 0.1368R = 1881
⇒ R = 1881/0.1368 = 13750
