Question : The marked price of a computer is Rs. 10000. Selling price of the computer is Rs. 7650. If two successive discounts of 15 percent and x percent are given, then what is the value of x?

Option 1: 5 percent

Option 2: 15 percent

Option 3: 10 percent

Option 4: 20 percent

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10 percent


Solution : The marked price of a computer is Rs. 10000.
The selling price of the computer is Rs. 7650.
According to the question,
For two successive discounts selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×$ marked price
$10000×\frac{85}{100}×\frac{100-x}{100}=7650$
$⇒100-x=90$
$\therefore x =10\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 10

Option 4: $\frac{760}{47}$ km/hr

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{840}{47}$ km/hr

According to the question,
Distance at 35 km/hr, he covers = $\frac{1}{2}$ × D 
At 8 km/hr, he covers 40% of $\frac{1}{2}$ × D = $\frac{1}{5}$D
The rest of the distance = D – $\frac{1}{2}$D – $\frac{1}{5}$D =

Question : Pankaj sells an article and earns a profit of 55 percent. What will be the ratio of cost price and selling price?

Option 1: 20 : 37

Option 2: 17 : 25

Option 3: 18 : 25

Option 4: 20 : 31

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20 : 31


Solution : We know, Profit percent = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}} × 100$
Given,
Profit percent = 55%
⇒ $\frac{55}{100}=(\frac{\text{Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}-1)$
⇒ $\frac{55}{100}+1=\frac{\text{Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}$
⇒ $\frac{55+100}{100}=\frac{\text{Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}$
⇒ $\frac{155}{100}=\frac{\text{Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}$
⇒ Selling price : Cost price = 31 :

Question : A train 200 metres long, is running at a speed of 20 metres per second. In how much time (in seconds) it will cross a bridge of length 400 metres?

Option 1: 20

Option 2: 25

Option 3: 30

Option 4: 60

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 30


Solution : We have,
Distance to cover = the length of the train + length of the bridge = 400 + 200 = 600 metres
Speed = 20 metres per second
$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{{\text{Speed}}}=\frac{600}{20}$ = 30 seconds
Hence, the correct answer is 30 seconds.
