Question : Z is increased successively by $11 \frac{1}{9}$% and 10% to get R. If R = 165, then what is the value of Z?

Option 1: 145

Option 2: 115

Option 3: 125

Option 4: 135

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 135


Solution : Increase = $11 \frac{1}{9}$% and 10%
Net increase = $\frac{100}{9} + 10 + \frac{100}{9}×\frac{10}{100}$ = $\frac{200}{9}$%
R = 165
So, Z + $\frac{200}{9}$% of Z = 165
⇒ $\frac{11}{9}$ × Z = 165
⇒ Z = $\frac{165×9}{11}$ = 15 × 9 = 135
Hence, the

Question : The cost price of a notebook is INR 120. It is sold at a profit of 40%. What is the nominal profit made on the sale of each notebook?

Option 1: INR 36

Option 2: INR 48

Option 3: INR 24

Option 4: INR 40

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 48


Solution : Cost price of a notebook = INR 120
Profit percentage = 40%
Selling price = $\frac{100 + \text{Profit percentage}}{100}\times$ Cost price
= $\frac{100+40}{100}\times120$
= $\frac{140}{100}\times120$ 
= INR 168
Nominal profit made on the sale of each notebook = Selling Price – Cost Price

Question : If $A=\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{4}{9}, B=\frac{6}{11} \times\frac{33}{12}$ and $C=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{9}{2}$, then what is the value of $A \times B-C$?

Option 1: $\frac{3}{8}$

Option 2: $\frac{3}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{3}{4}$

Option 4: $\frac{3}{16}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{4}$


Solution : $A=\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{4}{9}=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$
$B=\frac{6}{11} \times\frac{33}{12}=\frac{3}{2}$
$C=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{9}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$
$\therefore A \times B-C$
$=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{3}{2}-\frac{3}{2}$
$=\frac{9}{4}-\frac{3}{2}$
$=\frac{9-6}{4}$
$=\frac{3}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{4}$.
