Question : A dealer is selling an article at a discount of 5% on the marked price. If the marked price is 12% above the cost price and the article was sold for Rs. 532, then the cost price is (in Rs.):
Option 1: 500
Option 2: 525
Option 3: 505
Option 4: 520

Option 2: 10%
Option 3: 12%
Option 4: 15%
Correct Answer: 15%
Solution : Given: An article is listed at INR 7,600 and the discount offered unit is 10%. Discount = Marked price – Selling price The price after 10% discount = $\frac{90}{100}\times 7600=$ INR 6,840. The net selling price is INR 5,814. The second discount = INR 6840
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, POLISH is written as 89 and CLIP is written as 72. How will CONTROL be written in that language?
Option 1: 89
Option 2: 92
Option 3: 106
Option 4: 99
Correct Answer: 99
Solution : Given: POLISH is written as 89 and CLIP is written as 72.
The logic here is – The sum of the opposite position values + the total number of letters POLISH ⇒ P→K = 11; O→L = 12; L→O = 15; I→R = 18; S→H

Question : A alone can do $\frac{2}{5}$ of a work in 12 days. B is 25% more efficient than A. C alone can do the same work in 12 days less than B. D is 25% less efficient than C. If they all work together, then the work will be completed in how many days?
Option 1: $\frac{240}{53}$ days
Option 2: $\frac{180}{43}$ days
Option 3: $\frac{200}{51}$ days
Option 4: $\frac{300}{47}$ days
Correct Answer: $\frac{240}{53}$ days
Solution : Given: A alone can do $\frac{2}{5}$ of a work in 12 days. Total work = Efficiency × Number of days A will finish one work in $12 \times \frac{5}{2}=30$ days. A's work in a day is $\frac{1}{30}$ of the total work. Since B is
