Question : The least number that should be added to 35460 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 3, 4, 5, and 7 is:
Option 1: 84
Option 2: 420
Option 3: 240

Question : If the side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 34%, then by what percentage will its area increase?
Option 1: 70.65%
Option 2: 79.56%
Option 3: 68.25%
Option 4: 75.15%
Correct Answer: 79.56%
Solution : Let the side of the equilateral triangle be $a$. Area of an equilateral triangle with side $a = (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4})a^{2}$ Side increased by 34% So, new side $= a\times(\frac{134}{100})$ $= \frac{67a}{50}$ Area of an equilateral triangle with a new side $=(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4})(\frac{67a}{50})^{2}$ $= \frac{4489\sqrt{3}a^{2}}{10000}$ Change in area
