Question : The marked price of the computer is Rs. 80000. It is sold for Rs. 65280 after two successive discounts. If one of the discounts is 15 percent, then what is the value of the other discount?
Option 1: 7 percent
Option 2: 5 percent
Option 3: 6 percent
Option 4: 4 percent
Correct Answer: 4 percent
Solution : Given, Marked price of the computer = Rs. 80,000, Selling price after two discounts = Rs. 65,280, First discount = 15% Let the second discount be $x$%. ⇒ Selling price after the first discount = Marked price – $\frac{15}{100} ×$ Marked price ⇒ Selling
Question : A profit incurred by selling an article for INR 1,032 is equal to the loss incurred when the same article is sold for INR 648. What should be the selling price of the article if the profit is 30%?
Option 1: INR 2,520
Option 2: INR 1,050
Option 3: INR 1,092
Option 4: INR 998
Correct Answer: INR 1,092
Solution : Let the Cost Price be INR $x$ According to the question, 1032 – $x$ = $x$ – 648 ⇒ 1680 = 2$x$ ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{1680}{2}$ ⇒ $x$ = 840 The selling price (SP) at 30% profit = $\frac{840×130}{100}$ = INR 1092 Hence, the
Question : If $\sin(3\alpha -\beta )=1$ and $\cos(2\alpha+\beta)=\frac{1}{2}$, then the value of $\tan \alpha$ is:
Option 1: $0$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Solution : We have, $\sin(3\alpha -\beta )=1$ ⇒ $\sin(3\alpha -\beta )=\sin 90^{\circ}$ ⇒ $(3\alpha -\beta )=90^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\beta=3\alpha-90^{\circ}$..............(i) Also, $\cos(2\alpha+\beta)=\frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ $\cos(2\alpha+\beta)=\cos 60^{\circ}$ ⇒ $(2\alpha+\beta)=60^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\beta=60^{\circ}-2\alpha$ ..............(ii) From equations (i) and (ii), we get, $3\alpha-90^{\circ}=60^{\circ}-2\alpha$ ⇒ $3\alpha+2\alpha=60^{\circ}+90^{\circ}$ ⇒ $5\alpha=150^{\circ}$ $\therefore \alpha=30^{\circ}$ $\therefore\tan\alpha = \tan 30^{\circ} =
