Question : 24 equal solid hemispheres are melted to form a right circular cylinder of radius 12 cm and height 24 cm. Find the radius of each solid hemisphere.
Option 1: 4 cm
Option 2: 8 cm
Option 3: 6 cm
Option 4: 3 cm
Correct Answer: 6 cm
Solution : The total volume of the 24 solid hemispheres is equal to the volume of the cylinder. The volume of the cylinder = $\pi r^2h$ Volume of the cylinder (height $h$, radius $r$) = $\pi(12)^2 × 24 = 144 × 24\pi$ Since the 24 solid

Question : In a $\triangle {JKL}, {O}$ is the orthocenter of this triangle. $\angle {K}=55$ degree and $\angle {KOL}=120$ degree. What is the value of $\angle {JLK}$?
Option 1: 60 degree
Option 2: 65 degree
Option 3: 55 degree
Option 4: 70 degree
Correct Answer: 65 degree
Solution : Given, ${O}$ is the orthocenter of this triangle, $\angle {K}=55$ degree and $\angle \mathrm{KOL}=120$ degree. In quadrilateral ${JMON}$, $\angle KJL + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle MON = 360^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle KJL + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + 120^\circ = 360^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle KJL =
Question : Rs. 6000 is lent at the rate of 20% per annum on compound interest (compounded half yearly). What will be the compound interest of 18 months?
Option 1: Rs. 1825
Option 2: Rs. 1986
Option 3: Rs. 1876
Option 4: Rs. 2036
Correct Answer: Rs. 1986
Solution : Principal, $P$ = Rs. 6000 Time, $t$ = 18 months = 1.5 years Rate, $R$ = 20% per annum Amount = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{nt}$, where $n$ is the number of times the interest is compounded per year = $6000(1+\frac{\frac{20}{2}}{100})^{2 \times 1.5}$ = $6000 \times 1.10^3$ =
Question : The cost price of two dozen bananas is Rs. 30. After selling 15 bananas at Rs. 12 per dozen, the shopkeeper sells the remaining bananas at Rs. 5 per dozen. What is the loss percentage?
Option 1: 22.5%
Option 2: 25%
Option 3: 40%
Option 4: 30%
Correct Answer: 40%
Solution : Cost price of 24 bananas = Rs. 30 Selling price of 15 bananas at (Rs. 12 per dozen) = 12 + 3 = Rs. 15 Selling price of remaining 9 bananas at (Rs. 4 per dozen) = Rs. $\frac{4}{12}$ × 9 = Rs. 3 Total

Question : The cost price of 44 items is the same as the selling price of $x$ items. If the profit is 10%, then what is the value of $x$?
Option 1: 55
Option 2: 40
Option 3: 60
Option 4: 50
Correct Answer: 40
Solution : Cost price of 44 items = Selling price of $x$ items Profit = 10% Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{(Selling price – Cost price)}}{\text{Cost price}} \times 100$ $⇒ 10 =\frac{(44 - x)}{x} \times 100$ $⇒ x = 40$ Hence, the correct answer is 40.
Question : The Psychological Law of Consumption states that
Option 1: proportionate increase in consumption is less than a proportionate increase in income.

Question : If $x^3=270+y^3$ and $x=(6+y)$, then what is the value of $(x+y)? $(given that $x>0$ and $y>0$)
Option 1: $2 \sqrt{3}$
Option 2: $\sqrt{3}$
Option 3: $4 \sqrt{3}$
Option 4: $4 \sqrt{2}$
Correct Answer: $4 \sqrt{3}$
Solution : Given: $x^3=270+y^3$ and $x=(6+y)$ Putting the value of the $x=(6+y)$, we have: ⇒ $(6)^{3}+y^{3}+3×6×y(6+y)=270+y^{3}$ ⇒ $216+y^{3}+18y(6+y)=270+y^{3}$ ⇒ $108y+18y^{2}–54=0$ ⇒ $y^{2}+6y–3=0$ The given quadratic equation is $y^{2}+6y-3=0$. $y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ ⇒ $y = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^{2}-4(1)(-3)}}{2(1)}$ ⇒ $y = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{48}}{2}$ ⇒
