Question : A table is sold at a profit of 13%. If it is sold for Rs 25 more, then the profit is 18%. The cost price of the table is:
Option 1: Rs. 100
Option 2: Rs. 500
Option 3: Rs. 200
Option 4: Rs. 1,000
Correct Answer: Rs. 500
Solution : Let the cost price ($\text{CP}$) of the table be $y$ Selling Price ($\text{SP}$) at $R\%$ profit = $\frac{(100+R\%)}{100}\times \text {CP}$ According to the question, $\frac{113y}{100}+25=\frac{118y}{100}$ ⇒ $\frac{5y}{100}=25$ ⇒ $y=500$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 500.
Question : Amount of water vapour (gaseous) in a given volume of air (cubic metre) is know as:
Option 1: mixing ratio
Option 2: relative humidity
Option 3: absolute humidity

Question : Directions: If A stands for ÷, B stands for ×, C stands for + and D stands for – what will replace the question mark? 1024 A 32 B 11 D 57 C 121 = ?
Option 1: 107
Option 2: 421
Option 3: 436
Option 4: 416
Correct Answer: 416
Solution : Given: 1024 A 32 B 11 D 57 C 121 = ?
After replacing the letters as per the information given, the equation becomes – = 1024 ÷ 32 × 11 – 57 + 121 = 32 × 11 – 57 + 121 = 352

Question : The sides of a triangle are 20 cm, 21 cm, and 29 cm. The area of the triangle formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of the triangle will be:
Option 1: $67 \frac{2}{3}$ cm2
Option 2: $52 \frac{1}{2}$ cm2
Option 3: $47 \frac{1}{2}$ cm2
Option 4: $58 \frac{1}{3}$ cm2
Correct Answer: $52 \frac{1}{2}$ cm2
Solution : Given: The sides of a triangle = 29 cm, 21 cm, and 20 cm We can see, $29^2 = 21^2 + 20^2$ So, this is a right-angled triangle. ⇒ Area $=\frac{1}{2}\times 21\times 20=210$ cm2 Area of the smaller triangle $=\frac14\times210=\frac{105}{2}=52\frac12$ cm$^2$

Question : A can complete a task at the same time in which B and C work together. If A and B could complete it jointly in 10 days and C alone in 50 days, then B could complete it independently in:
Option 1: 26 days
Option 2: 27 days
Option 3: 25 days
Option 4: 23 days
Correct Answer: 25 days
Solution : (A + B)'s 1 day's work $= \frac{1}{10}$ C's 1 day's work $= \frac{1}{50}$ ⇒ (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work $= \frac{1}{10} +\frac{1}{50}= \frac{6}{50} =\frac{3}{25}$ ............ (1) A's 1 day's work = (B + C)'s 1 day's work .................. (2) From
