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
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
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: $60^\circ$
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
