Question : The selling price of a glass is Rs 1965, and the loss per cent is 25%. If the selling price is Rs 3013, then what will be the profit percentage?

Option 1: 13

Option 2: 10.4

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 20

Team Careers360 2nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15


Solution : Given, Selling price after 25% loss = Rs. 1965
Let cost price be $\text{CP}$.
$1965 = \frac{\text{CP}(100-25)}{100}$
⇒ $1965= \frac{3}{4}(\text{CP})$
⇒ $\text{CP}= 2620$
Now, when the selling price is Rs. 3013,
$\therefore$ Profit %= $\frac{3013-2620}{2620}\times 100=15\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 15.

Question : A shopkeeper allows a 10% trade discount and a 10% cash discount. If the marked price is INR 1,000, then the selling price is:

Option 1: INR 900

Option 2: INR 850

Option 3: INR 810

Option 4: INR 920

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 810


Solution : Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts.
Effective discount for two successive discounts of 10% and 10% $=10+10-\frac{10×10}{100}=20-1=19\%$
So, the selling price = $\frac{100-19}{100}×1000=\frac{81}{100}×1000$ = INR 810
Hence, the correct answer is INR 810.

Question : In $\triangle XYZ$, points P, Q, and R are points on the sides XY, YZ, and XZ respectively $\angle YXZ = 50^\circ$, XR = PR, ZR = QR, and $\angle RQZ = 80^\circ$. What is the value of $\angle PRQ$?

Option 1: $80^\circ$

Option 2: $90^\circ$

Option 3: $75^\circ$

Option 4: $60^\circ$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $80^\circ$


Solution :
In $\triangle XPR$
$\angle PXR = 50^\circ$
Since XR = PR, the triangle is isosceles.
$\angle$XPR = $\angle$PXR = 50$^\circ$
⇒ $\angle XRP = 180^\circ-50^\circ-50^\circ= 80^\circ$
Since ZR = QR, the triangle is isosceles.
Similarly,
$\angle RQZ = \angle RZQ = 80^\circ$
⇒ $\angle QRZ
