Question : By selling a watch for INR 2,000, a shopkeeper loses 20%. How much would he gain or lose by selling it for INR 3,000?
Option 1: 20% gain
Option 2: 25% gain
Option 3: 15% loss
Option 4: 25% loss
Correct Answer: 20% gain
Solution : Selling Price = INR 2,000 Loss = 20% of Cost Price Selling Price = 80% of Cost Price 2,000 = $\frac{80}{100}$ × Cost Price Cost Price = $\frac{2000}{0.8}$ = 2500 Selling Price = INR 3,000 Here SP > CP So, it's a profit. Profit

Question : At what point does the line $2x–3y = 6$ cuts the Y-axis?
Option 1: (0, 2)
Option 2: (–2, 0)
Option 3: (2, 0)
Option 4: (0, –2)
Correct Answer: (0, –2)
Solution : Given: The equation is $2x–3y = 6$ The Y-axis can be expressed as $x = 0$. So, both lines should be satisfied at the intersection. Substitute $x=0$ in the equation, $2x–3y = 6$, we get, $(2×0)–3y = 6$ ⇒ $y = –2$ The point
Question : Directions: Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at MN as shown below.
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:

Question : From a solid right circular cylinder of length 4 cm and diameter 6 cm, a conical cavity of the same height and base is hollowed out. The whole surface of the remaining solid (in square cm) is:
Option 1: 48$\pi$
Option 2: 15$\pi$
Option 3: 63$\pi$
Option 4: 24$\pi$
Correct Answer: 48$\pi$
Solution : Given: Diameter = 6 cm So, radius, $r$ = $\frac{6}{2}$ = 3 cm Height, $h$ = 4 cm $\therefore$ Curved surface area of the cylinder $=2\pi rh=2\pi×3×4=24\pi$ Now, slant height, $l$ = $\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$ = $\sqrt{3^2+4^2}$ = $5$ So, the curved surface area of the cone
