Question : After allowing a discount of 12.5% on the marked price, an article is sold for INR 2,625. Find its marked price.

Option 1: INR 2,975

Option 2: INR 2,900

Option 3: INR 2,950

Option 4: INR 3,000

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 3,000


Solution : Given, Discount = 12.5% and Selling price = 2625
Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}\%}{100}×\text{Marked price}$
⇒ $2625 = \frac{100-12.5}{100}×\text{Marked price}$
$\therefore$ Marked price $=\frac{100×2625}{87.5}=3000$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 3,000.

Question : Which of the following is a value of $\theta$, when $\cos ^2 \theta-2+\cos \theta=0$?

Option 1: 60°

Option 2: 90°

Option 3: 30°

Option 4:

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : Given, $\cos ^2 \theta-2+\cos \theta=0$
⇒ $\cos ^2 \theta+2\cos \theta-\cos\theta-2=0$
⇒ $\cos \theta(\cos \theta+2)-1(\cos \theta+2)=0$
⇒ $(\cos \theta+2)(cos \theta-1)=0$
⇒ $\cos \theta=-2$ or $\cos \theta=1$
Since the range of $\cos\theta$ is –1 < $\cos \theta$ < 1
Hence, $\cos\theta$ cannot be –2.
So, $\cos \theta=1⇒\theta=
