Correct Answer: 28.5%

Solution : Suppose at first 100 kg sugar costs Rs. 100.
Now, the price increased by 40%.
New price = 100 + 40 = 140
Now, quantity of sugar in that price will be = $\frac{100×100}{140}=71.43$ kg
Reduced percentage = 100 – 71.43 = 28.57%
Hence, the

Correct Answer: $\frac{792}{7}$ cm³

Solution : Side of cube = diameter of sphere = 6 cm
⇒ Radius, $r$ = 3 cm
$\therefore$ The volume of the sphere
= $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
= $\frac{4}{3}×\frac{22}{7}×3^3$
= $\frac{792}{7}$ cm³
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{792}{7}$ cm³.

Correct Answer: 65

Solution : Given:
8 : 28 :: 27 : ?

Like, 8 : 28→2³ + 0 = 8 + 0 = 8; 3³ + 1 = 27 + 1 = 28
Similarly, for 27 : ?→3³ + 0 = 27 + 0 = 27;

Correct Answer: 924 cm²

Solution : Given: The radius of a right circular cylinder, $r$ = 7 cm
Its height, $h$ is thrice its radius = 7 × 3 = 21 cm
The curved surface area of the cylinder
$=2\pi rh$
$=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 7\times 21=924$ cm²
Hence, the

Correct Answer: 504897

Solution : Given:
CENTRE is coded as 982748, and DEVICE is coded as 583098.

Comparing the letters of CENTRE and DEVICE, we have two E and one C common in both. In the code, 8 is repeated, and 9 is common.
Therefore, E = 8 and C

Correct Answer: 11

Solution : The sum of the square of first $n$ natural numbers = $\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$, where $n$ is the number of numbers.
Here, $n = 5$
⇒ Sum = $\frac{5(5+1)(10+1)}{6}=\frac{5(6)(11)}{6}=55$
$\therefore$ Average $=\frac{55}{5}=11$
Hence, the correct answer is 11.
