(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 - operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (54, 32, 66) (49, 31, 54)
Option 1: (39, 18, 63)
Option 2: (44, 28, 52)
Option 3: (68, 49, 55)
Option 4: (55, 30, 70)
Correct Answer: (39, 18, 63)
Solution : Given: (54, 32, 66); (49, 31, 54)
In the given sets, subtract the second number from the first and multiply the resultant with 3 to obtain the third number. (54, 32, 66)→54 – 32 = 22; 22 × 3 = 66 (49, 31,

Question : If $a=-12, b=-6$, and $c=18$, then what is the value of $\frac{2 a b c}{9}$?
Option 1: 554
Option 2: 288
Option 3: - 288
Option 4: 144
Correct Answer: 288
Solution : Given $a=-12, b=-6$, and $c=18$ $\therefore$ $\frac{2 a b c}{9} = \frac{2\times(-12) \times (-6) \times 18}{9}$ $= 2\times 12\times 6\times 2 = 288$ Hence, the correct answer is 288.
Question : Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
Option 1: If a chord is extended outside the circle on both ends then it is called a secant.
Option 2: Tangent is perpendicular to the radius of the circle at the point of contact.
Option 3: A line intersecting at two distinct points of a circle is called a tangent.
Option 4: A tangent is a line touching only one point of the circle.
Correct Answer: A line intersecting at two distinct points of a circle is called a tangent.
Solution : Third statement: A line that intersects two distinct points of a circle is called a tangent. It is incorrect. ⇒ A line that intersects two distinct points of a circle is called
Question : By what fraction must the selling price (SP) be multiplied to get the cost price (CP) if the loss is 20%?
Option 1: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 2: $\frac{8}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{5}{4}$
Option 4: $\frac{6}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{4}$
Solution : Cost price = Selling price × $\frac{100}{(100 - \text{Loss %)}}$ So, Cost price = Selling price × $\frac{100}{(100 - 20)}$ ⇒ Cost price = Selling price × $\frac{100}{80}$ $\therefore$ Cost price = Selling price × $\frac{5}{4}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{4}$.
