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%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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 = $18 + 22 - \frac{18\times22}{100}$

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: $22: 21\sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

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, $3a = 2\pi r$
⇒ $\frac{a}{r}=\frac{2 \pi}{3} =\frac{2\times22}{3 \times7}$
$\therefore \frac{a}{r}=\frac{44}{21}$
