Question : Successive discounts of 20% and 10% are given on an item marked at Rs. 700. Find the selling price.

Option 1: Rs. 504

Option 2: Rs. 196

Option 3: Rs. 582

Option 4: Rs. 601

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 504


Solution : Successive discounts 20% and 10% are equivalent to $(20+10-\frac{20×10}{100}) = (30- 2) = 28$%
The item is marked at Rs. 700.
Then the selling price = $(700×\frac{100-28}{100}) = (7×72)$ = Rs. 504
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 504.

Question : If $\sin\theta+\operatorname{cosec}\theta=2$, the value of $\sin^{n}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{n}\theta$ is:

Option 1: $2^{n}$

Option 2: $2^{\frac{1}{n}}$

Option 3: $2$

Option 4: $0$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2$


Solution : Given: $\sin\theta+\operatorname{cosec}\theta=2$
Squaring both sides, we get:
$(\sin\theta+cosec\theta)^{2}=2^{2}$
⇒ $\sin^{2}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{2}\theta+2\sin\theta×\operatorname{cosec}\theta=4$
⇒ $\sin^{2}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{2}\theta=4–2$
⇒ $\sin^{2}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{2}\theta=2$
Similarly, $(\sin\theta+\operatorname{cosec}\theta)^{3}=2^{3}$
⇒ $\sin^{3}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{3}\theta+\sin\theta×\operatorname{cosec}\theta×(\sin\theta+\operatorname{cosec}\theta)=8$
⇒ $\sin^{3}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{3}\theta+3×2=8$
⇒ $\sin^{3}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{3}\theta=2$
Similarly, we can say the value of $\sin^{n}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{n}\theta$ will be 2.
Hence, the correct answer is $2$.

Question : A merchant marked the price of an article by increasing its production cost by 40%. Now he allows a 20% discount and gets a profit of Rs. 48 after selling it. The production cost is:

Option 1: Rs. 320

Option 2: Rs. 360

Option 3: Rs. 400

Option 4: Rs. 440

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 400


Solution : Let the production cost of the article be Rs. $y$.
Here, $a$ = 40%, $b$ = –20%
Effective percentage = $a+b+\frac{ab}{100}$%
$\therefore$ Effective percentage = $40 − 20 −\frac{40\times 20}{100}$%
= (20 – 8)% = 12%
According to the question,
12% of $y$ =
