Question : In a 1500 m race, if vehicle P gives vehicle Q a start of 200 m, then vehicle P wins the race by 8 sec. Alternatively, if vehicle P gives vehicle Q a start of 400 m, the race ends in a dead heat. How long does vehicle P take to run 1500 m?
Option 1: 44 sec
Option 2: 45 sec
Option 3: 40 sec
Option 4: 60 sec
Correct Answer: 44 sec
Solution : 2 cases will be formed in this situation. Case 1: Vehicle P gives vehicle Q a start of 200 m, and P wins the race by 8 sec. ⇒ Distance traveled by P = 1500 m And, Distance travel by Q = 1500 –

Question : Successive discounts of 18% and 22% are equal to a single discount of ______.
Option 1: 36.04%
Option 2: 35.04%
Option 3: 37.04%
Option 4: 34.04%
Correct Answer: 36.04%
Solution : Successive discounts of 18% and 22% Single Discount $=D_{1} + D_{2} - \frac{(D_{1}\times D_{2})}{100}$ where, $D_{1}$ & $D_{2}$ are two successive discounts. Single Discount = $18 + 22 - \frac{18\times22}{100}$ = 40 - 3.96 = 36.04% $\therefore$ Successive discounts of 18% and 22% are equal
Question : The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is equal to the circumference of a circle. The ratio of their areas is: ( Use $\pi =\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: $22 : 21\sqrt{3}$
Option 2: $21: 22\sqrt{3}$
Option 3: $21: 22\sqrt{2}$
Option 4: $22: 21\sqrt{2}$
Correct Answer: $22 : 21\sqrt{3}$
Solution : Let the side of the equilateral triangle be $a$ unit. Perimeter = $3a$ unit Circumference of the circle = $2\pi r$ Given: Perimeter of triangle = circumference of the circle So, $3a = 2\pi r$ ⇒ $\frac{a}{r}=\frac{2 \pi}{3} =\frac{2\times22}{3 \times7}$ $\therefore \frac{a}{r}=\frac{44}{21}$ Area
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the related number from the given alternatives. 534 : 2 :: ? : ?
Option 1: 102 : 9
Option 2: 553 : 6
Option 3: 884 : 2
Option 4: 999 : 2
Correct Answer: 999 : 2
Solution : Given: 534 : 2 :: ? : ?
Here, 534 : 2→(5 + 3) ÷ 4 = 8 ÷ 4 = 2 Let's check the options – First option: 102 : 9→(1 + 0) ÷ 2 = 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 ≠
Question : Direction: Which of the following diagrams represents the correct relationship with the class Teacher, Girls and Boys of Std. VIII?

Question : Directions: Select the related letter cluster from the given alternatives. ABDE : FGIJ :: IJLM : ?
Option 1: NMOP
Option 2: NOPQ
Option 3: NOQR
Option 4: NPQR
Correct Answer: NOQR
Solution : Given: ABDE : FGIJ :: IJLM : ?
Add 5 to the place value of each letter of ABDE to obtain the required code – A + 5 = F; B + 5 = G; D + 5 = I; E + 5 = J
Question : Three successive discounts of 15%, 20%, and 25% are given. What will be the net discount in percentage?
