Question : A retailer buys 50 pens at the marked price of 44 pens. If he sells these pens at a discount of 1% on the marked price, what is the profit percentage?
Option 1: 10%
Option 2: 12.5%
Option 3: 12%
Option 4: 15%
Correct Answer: 12.5%
Solution : Let the cost price of 1 pen be Re. 1. Cost price for the retailer = $1\times 44 = 44 \ \mathrm{rupees}$ Marked price of the pens = $1\times 50 = 50 \ \mathrm{rupees}$ After giving 1% discount, selling price = 50 – 1% of
Question : If 5416*6 is the perfect square, then the digit at the '*' place is:
Option 1: 9
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 5

Solution : Find the perfect square by replacing "*" with digits from options, one by one. The square root of 541696 is 736. Thus, the digit at the "*" place is 9. Hence, the correct answer is 9.
Question : The greatest value of $\sin ^{4 }\theta +\cos ^{4}\theta$ is:
Option 1: $2$
Option 2: $3$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 4: $1$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : To find the maximum value of $\sin^4\theta +\cos^4\theta$ We can write this expression as, $\sin^4\theta +\cos^4\theta=(\sin^2\theta)^2 +(\cos^2\theta)^2 +2\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta- 2\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta$ $=(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)^2- 2\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta = 1-2\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta$ $= 1-\frac{(\sin^22\theta)}{2}$ For the maximum value of the above function, $\frac{(\sin^22\theta)}{2}$ should have minimum value, i.e., 0. So,

Question : How many men need to be employed to complete a job in 5 days, if 15 men can complete $\frac{1}{3}$ of the job in 7 days?
Option 1: 20
Option 2: 21
Option 3: 45
Option 4: 63
Correct Answer: 63
Solution : Given: 15 men can complete $\frac{1}{3}$ of the job in 7 days. Let the number of men needed for 5 days be $y$. According to the question, ⇒ 15 men × 7 days = $\frac{1}{3}$rd work ⇒ 15 men × 21 days = 1 work
Question : Find the third proportional to 8 and 20.
Option 1: 25
Option 2: 50
Option 3: 40
Option 4: 64
Correct Answer: 50
Solution : Third proportional to $a$ and $b$ is given by $\frac{b^2}{a}$, where $a$ = 8, $b$ = 20. So, the third proportional to 8 and 20 is = $\frac{20^2}{8}$ = $\frac{400}{8}$ = $50$ Hence, the correct answer is 50.
