Question : A reduction of 10% in the price of a commodity enables a person to buy 25 kg more for Rs. 225. The original price of the commodity per kg was:

Option 1: Rs. 2

Option 2: Re. 1

Option 3: Rs. 2.50

Option 4: Rs.1.50

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Re. 1


Solution : Let the original price of the commodity be Rs. $x$ per kg.
Reduction = 10%
New price is 90% of $x$ = $\frac{90}{100}x$ = Rs. $\frac{9}{10}x$
According to the question:
$\frac{225}{\frac{9}{10}x}$–$\frac{225}{x}$ = 25
⇒ $\frac{2250}{9x}$–$\frac{225}{x}$ = 25
⇒ $\frac{2250-2025}{9x}$ = 25
⇒ $\frac{225}{25}$ =

⇒ A : B : C = 3 : 6 : 7
Let $x$ be the whole profit.
According to the question,
B's share = 759

Question : A missile travels at 1386 km/hr. How many metres does it travel in one second?

Option 1: 305 metres

Option 2: 385 metres

Option 3: 372 metres

Option 4: 325 metres

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Distance covered = Speed × Time taken
Average speed = 1386 km/hr = $1386×\frac{5}{18}$ = 385 m/s
Time taken = 1 second
$\therefore$ Distance covered in 1 second = 385 × 1 = 385 metres
Hence, the correct answer is 385 metres.
