Question : A man can build a wall in 70 hours. After 7 hours, he takes a break. What fraction of the wall is yet to be built?
Option 1: 0.9
Option 2: 0.8
Option 3: 0.5
Option 4: 0.75
Correct Answer: 0.9
Solution : The work done of a man in 1 hour $=\frac{1}{70}$ ⇒ The work done of a man in 7 hour $=\frac{7}{70}=\frac{1}{10}$ The fraction of the wall that is yet to be built $=1-\frac{1}{10} = \frac{9}{10}=0.9$ Hence, the correct answer is 0.9.
Question : The pie chart given below shows the number of girls in six schools. The total number of girls in all these six schools is 8000.

Option 1: 64.3°
Option 2: 82.8°
Option 3: 74.3°
Option 4: 93.5°
Correct Answer: 82.8°
Solution : Given, The total number of girls in all these six schools is 8000 The difference between the central angle formed by sectors M and Q $= \frac{\text{ The difference of percentage of M and Q }}{\text{100}}\times 360°$ $=\frac{37-14}{100}\times 360°=\frac{23}{100}\times 360° = 82.8°$ Hence, the correct
