Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (4, 6, 72) (5, 7,105)
Option 1: (6, 8, 144)
Option 2: (2, 5, 40)
Option 3: (3, 6, 36)
Option 4: (6, 9, 108)
Correct Answer: (6, 8, 144)
Solution : Given: (4, 6, 72); (5, 7,105)

Question : A water purifier is on sale for a 10% discount on the original price. A store-wide sale results in an additional discount of 15%. What is the total discount on the original price?
Option 1: 18.50%
Option 2: 19.50%
Option 3: 22.50%
Option 4: 23.50%
Correct Answer: 23.50%
Solution : We know, Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts. Here, $a$ = 10% and $b$ = 15% $\therefore$ Single equivalent discount $= 10 + 15 - \frac{10 × 15}{100}=25-1.50=23.50\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 23.50%.

Question : A cuboid is of dimensions 80 cm × 64 cm × 50 cm How many small cubes with sides 8 cm can be placed in the given cuboid?
Option 1: 480
Option 2: 700
Option 3: 1000
Option 4: 200
Correct Answer: 480
Solution : Length of cuboid, $l$ = 80 cm Breadth of cuboid, $b$ = 64 cm Height of cuboid, $h$ = 50 cm Side of a cube, $a$ = 8 cm But height, $h$ should be multiple of $a$. Here, Height utilised = 50 – 2 =
