Question : If $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$ such that $\mathrm{BC}=3 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{EF}=4 \mathrm{~cm}$ and the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=54 \mathrm{~cm}^2$, then the area of $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$ is:

Option 1: 78 cm2

Option 2: 96 cm2

Option 3: 66 cm2

Option 4: 44 cm2

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 96 cm2


Solution : Given,
$\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\sim \triangle \mathrm{DEF}$
$\mathrm{BC}=3 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{EF}=4 \mathrm{~cm}$ and the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=54 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
⇒ $\frac{area(\triangle{ABC})}{area(\triangle{DEF})}=\frac{BC^2}{EF^2}$
⇒ $\frac{54}{area(\triangle{DEF})}=\frac{3^2}{4^2}$
⇒ $\frac{54}{area(\triangle{DEF})}=\frac{9}{16}$
⇒ $area(\triangle{DEF})=\frac{54\times16}{9}$
⇒ $area(\triangle{DEF})=96$ cm$^2$
Hence, the correct answer is 96 cm$^2$

Question : The two numbers are in the ratio of 5 : 3. If 9 is subtracted from each, then the new ratio is 9 : 5. What are the two numbers?

Option 1: 50 and 30

Option 2: 45 and 27

Option 3: 90 and 54

Option 4: 15 and 45

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 90 and 54


Solution : Let the numbers be $5x$ and $3x$
According to the question,
$\frac{5x–9}{3x–9} = \frac{9}{5}$
⇒ $25x–45 = 27x–81$
⇒ $36 = 2x$
⇒ $x = \frac{36}{2}$
⇒ $x = 18$
Thus, the numbers are $(5 × 18) = 90$ and $(3 × 18)

Question : A helmet is sold for INR 1,650 at a profit of 10%. If the selling price is INR 2,100, then what will be the profit percentage?

Option 1: 30%

Option 2: 25%

Option 3: 40%

Option 4: 60%

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 40%


Solution : Profit% = $\frac{\text{Selling Price-Cost Price}}{\text{Cost Price}}\times 100$
Let's denote the cost price of the helmet as CP
 helmet is sold for INR 1,650 at a profit of 10%
⇒ Selling Price  = Cost Price + Profit = 1,650 = CP + 0.10 × CP
