Question : If 8% of $x$ = 4% of $y$, then 20% of $x$ is:
Option 1: 10% of $y$
Option 2: 16% of $y$
Option 3: 40% of $y$
Option 4: 80% of $y$
Correct Answer: 10% of $y$
Solution : Given: 8% × $x$ = 4% × $y$ ⇒ $\frac{8}{100}x$ = $\frac{4}{100}y$ ⇒ $\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{400}{800}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{1}{2}y$ So, 20% × $x$ = 20% × $\frac{1}{2}y$ = 10% of $y$ Hence, the correct answer is 10% of $y$.

Question : If $\tan\left ( A-B \right )=x$, then the value of $x$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A \tan B}$
Option 2: $\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1+\tan A \tan B}$
Option 3: $\frac{\tan A-\tan B}{1-\tan A \tan B}$
Option 4: $\frac{\tan A-\tan B}{1+\tan A \tan B}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{\tan A-\tan B}{1+\tan A \tan B}$
Solution : $\tan(A-B) = \frac{\sin(A-B)}{\cos(A-B)}$ We know that, $\sin(A-B)=\sin A \cos B - \cos A \sin B$ $\cos(A-B)=\cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B$ On substituting the values, $\tan(A-B) = \frac{\sin A \cos B - \cos A \sin B}{\cos A
