Question : The price of a chair is Rs. 500. It has been sold at two successive discounts of 10% each. What is its selling price?

Option 1: Rs. 400

Option 2: Rs. 405

Option 3: Rs. 415

Option 4: Rs. 425

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 405


Solution : We know,
Equivalent single discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%,
Where $a,b$ are successive discounts.
So, $10+10-\frac{10\times 10}{100}=19$%
$\therefore$ Required selling price = (100 – 19)% of 500 = $\frac{500 \times 81}{100}$ = Rs. $405$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 405

Question : If $A:B=3:4$ and $B:C=6:5$, then $C:A$ is

Option 1: $10:9$

Option 2: $9:10$

Option 3: $8:9$

Option 4: $9:8$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $10:9$


Solution : Given:
$\frac{A}{B} = \frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{B}{C} = \frac{6}{5}$
Multiplying both the equations we get,
$\frac{A}{B}\times \frac{B}{C} = \frac{3}{4}\times\frac{6}{5}$
$\frac{A}{C} = \frac{9}{10}$
⇒ $\frac{C}{A} = \frac{10}{9}$
$\therefore C: A=10:9$
Hence, the correct answer is $10:9$
