Question : A table is sold at Rs 1800 at a loss of 10%. At what price should it be sold to earn a profit of 15%?

Option 1:  Rs. 2070

Option 2: Rs. 1890

Option 3: Rs. 2000

Option 4: Rs. 2300

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 2300


Solution : Let CP of the table be Rs. $y$
At a loss of 10%, Selling price = $\frac{(100-10)}{100}\times 2=\frac{90y}{100}$
According to the question,
$\frac{90y}{100}=1800$
⇒ $y=2000$
For a profit of 15%.
Selling Price = $\frac{2000 \times (10+15)}{100}=\text{Rs.}\ 2300$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2300.

Question : If each edge of a square is doubled, then the increase percentage in its area is:

Option 1: 200%

Option 2: 250%

Option 3: 280%

Option 4: 300%

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 300%


Solution : The area of a square = $s^2$, where $s$ is the length of a side.
If the side length is doubled, the new area = $(2s)^2 = 4s^2$
The increase in area = $4s^2 - s^2 = 3s^2$
The percentage increase in area $=\frac{3s^2}{s^2} \times

Question : If $r\sin\theta=\frac{7}{2}$ and $r\cos\theta=\frac{7\sqrt{3}}{2}$, then the value of $r$ is:

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 7

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7


Solution : Given: $r\sin\theta=\frac{7}{2}$ ------(1)
$r\cos\theta=\frac{7\sqrt{3}}{2}$ ------(2)
Squaring and adding both equations, we have:
⇒ $r^{2}\sin^2\theta+r^{2}\cos^{2}\theta=(\frac{7}{2})^{2}+(\frac{7\sqrt{3}}{2})^{2}$
⇒ $r^{2}(\sin^2\theta+\cos^{2}\theta)=\frac{49}{4}+\frac{147}{4}$
⇒ $r^{2}=\frac{196}{4}$
⇒ $r^{2}=49$
$\therefore r=\sqrt{49}=7$
Hence, the correct answer is 7.

Question : A can do 75% of a job in 9 days and B can do half of the job in 8 days. If they work on it together then in how many days can they do half of the job?

Option 1: $\frac{40}{7}$

Option 2: $\frac{24}{7}$

Option 3: $\frac{7}{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{9}{2}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{24}{7}$


Solution : Given: A can do 75% of a job in 9 days and B can do half of the job in 8 days.
Let the total work be $a$ units.
So, work done by A in 1 day = $\frac{75a}{100}×\frac{1}{9}$ = $\frac{a}{12}$ units,
and work done
