Question : If the successive discounts be 20%, 10%, and 5%, then the single equivalent rate of discount is:

Option 1: 31.6%

Option 2: 31.5%

Option 3: 31%

Option 4: 31.4%

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 31.6%


Solution : We know, 
Equivalent discount = $(a+b–\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, 
Where $a,b$ are successive discounts.
So, $20+10-\frac{20\times 10}{100}=28$%
Now again $a = 28$% and $b = 5$%
So, $28+5-\frac{28\times 5}{100}=31.6$%
Hence, the correct answer is 31.6%.

Question : The ratio of the length of a rod and its shadow is $1: \sqrt{3}$. The angle of elevation of the sun is:

Option 1: $90^{\circ}$

Option 2: $30^{\circ}$

Option 3: $45^{\circ}$

Option 4: $60^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $30^{\circ}$


Solution :
The ratio of the length of a rod and its shadow, $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ $\tan \theta = \frac{AB}{BC}$
⇒ $\tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ $\tan\theta = \tan 30^{\circ}$
⇒ $\theta =30^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is $30^{\circ}$.
