Question : If a regular polygon has 5 sides, then the measure of its interior angle is greater than the measure of its exterior angle by how many degrees?

Option 1: $60^{\circ}$

Option 2: $36^{\circ}$

Option 3: $90^{\circ}$

Option 4: $100^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $36^{\circ}$


Solution : Sides of a pentagon, $n$ = 5
Each interior angle of a pentagon = $(\frac{2×5-4}{5})×90^{\circ}$ = $6 × 18^{\circ}$ = $108^{\circ}$
External angle of a pentagon = $\frac{360^{\circ}}{5}$ = $72^{\circ}$
Difference = $108^{\circ}$ – $72^{\circ}$ = $36^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is $36^{\circ}$.

Question : The sum of the two numbers is 520. If the bigger number is decreased by 4% and the smaller number is increased by 12%, then the numbers obtained are equal. The smaller number is:

Option 1: 280

Option 2: 210

Option 3: 240

Option 4: 300

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 240


Solution : Given: The sum of two numbers is 520.
Let the bigger number be $a$ and the smaller number be $(520 - a)$.
The bigger number is decreased by 4% and the smaller number is increased by 12%.
So, $a×\frac{96}{100}=(520 - a)×\frac{112}{100}$
⇒ $96a=(520 - a)×112$

Question : If the selling price of an article is $1\tfrac{1}{3}$rd of the cost price, find gain percentage:

Option 1: $25\%$

Option 2: $33\frac{1}{3}\%$

Option 3: $1.33\%$

Option 4: $66\tfrac{2}{3}\%$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $33\frac{1}{3}\%$


Solution : Given: The selling price (SP) of an article is $1\tfrac{1}{3}$rd of the cost price (CP).
Gain percentage $=\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$
Gain percentage $=\frac{\frac{4}{3}×\text{CP}-\text{CP}}{\text{CP}}×100=(\frac{4}{3}-1)×100=\frac{100}{3}\%=33\frac{1}{3}\%$
Hence, the correct answer is $33\tfrac{1}{3}\%$.

Question : Simplify the given expression. $\frac{(381+119)^2+(381-119)^2}{(381)^2+(119)^2}$

Option 1: –1

Option 2: –2

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $\frac{(381+119)^2+(381-119)^2}{(381)^2+(119)^2}$
Let $a=381\ and\ b= 119$
$\frac{(a+b)^2+(a-b)^2}{(a)^2+(b)^2}$
= $\frac{(a^2+b^2+2ab)+(a^2+b^2-2ab)}{a^2+b^2}$
= $\frac{a^2+b^2+a^2+b^2}{a^2+b^2}$
= $\frac{2(a^2+b^2)}{a^2+b^2}$
= $2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
