Question : In a quadrilateral ABCD, E is a point in the interior of the quadrilateral such that DE and CE are the bisectors of $\angle D$ and $\angle C$, respectively. If $\angle B=82^{\circ}$ and $\angle D E C=80^{\circ}$, then $\angle A=$ ?
Option 1: 75º
Option 2: 81º
Option 3: 84º
Option 4: 78º
Correct Answer: 78º
Solution : Concept used: The sum of all the internal angles of a quadrilateral is 360$^\circ$ The sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is 180$^\circ$ Calculations: In quadrilateral ABCD, $\angle$A + $\angle$B + $\angle$C + $\angle$D = 360$^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle$A + 82° + $\angle$C
Question : A container contains 25 litres of milk. From this container, 5 litres of milk is taken out and replaced by water. This process is further repeated two times. How much milk is there in the container now?
Option 1: 11.5 litres
Option 2: 14.8 litres
Option 3: 13.5 litres
Option 4: 12.8 litres
Correct Answer: 12.8 litres
Solution : Left quantity = Initial quantity(1 – [Fraction removed])N (Where N = Number of times the process is carried out) Fraction of milk removed = $\frac{5}{25}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$ Now, the quantity of milk left in the container $= 25(1 - \frac{1}{5})^3$ $= 25 ×
Question : Directions: The bar graphs represent the number of road accidents due to buses and cars during the years 2008 to 2013. Study the graph and answer the question.

Option 1: $4:5$
Option 2: $5:4$
Option 3: $5:1$
Option 4: $1:4$
Correct Answer: $5:4$
Solution : As per the given graph: The average number of road accidents due to buses in the years 2008, 2011, and 2013= $\frac{30+60+10}{3}=\frac{100}{3}$ The average number of road accidents due to cars in the years 2008, 2011, and 2013 = $\frac{40+20+20}{3}=\frac{80}{3}$ The required ratio = $\frac{100}{3}$:$\frac{80}{3}$
