Question : Ranjeet buys 1 kg potato for INR 20 and sells it for INR 25. He also uses a weight of 800 gm in place of 1 kg. What is Ranjeet's actual profit percentage on the sale of 1 kg potato?

Option 1: 56.75%

Option 2: 56.25%

Option 3: 55.75%

Option 4: 57.25%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 56.25%


Solution : The cost price of 1 kg potato = INR 20
Selling price of 800gm potato = INR 25
The cost price of 800 gm potato = $\frac{20\times 800}{1000}$ = INR 16
Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$
= $\frac{25-16}{16}\times100$
= $56.25$%
Hence,

Question : If an article is sold for INR 402, there is a loss of 33% At what price should it be sold to get 37% profit?

Option 1: INR 911

Option 2: INR 618

Option 3: INR 822

Option 4: INR 781

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 822


Solution : Given: Selling price = INR 402
Loss = 33%
Selling price = 67%
Let the cost price be $x$.
So, $\frac{67x}{100}=402$
$\therefore x = 600$
To get 37% profit, selling price = $\frac{137}{100}\times$cost price $=\frac{137}{100}\times600=822$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 822.

Question : If $\cos 5 \alpha=\sin \alpha$ and $5 \alpha<90^{\circ}$, then the value of $\tan 2 \alpha$ is:

Option 1: $\sqrt{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$


Solution : Given, $\cos 5 \alpha=\sin \alpha$
We know, $\cos(90°-\theta)=\sin\theta$
⇒ $\cos5\alpha=\cos(90°-\alpha)$
⇒ $5\alpha=90°-\alpha$
⇒ $6\alpha=90°$
⇒ $\alpha=15°$
Now, $\tan 2 \alpha=\tan(2\times 15°)=\tan30°=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$.
