Question : The price of diesel has increased by 26%. A person wants to increase his expenditure by 15% only. By what percentage, correct to one decimal place, should he decrease his consumption?

Option 1: 7.2%

Option 2: 9.5%

Option 3: 8.7%

Option 4: 6.5%

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8.7%


Solution : Let the initial price and initial consumption be 100.
So, initial expenditure = 100 × 100 = 10,000
Price after increment of 26% = 126
Expenditure after increment of 15% = 11500
New Consumption = $\frac{11500}{126}$ = 91.27
Difference in consumption = 100 - 91.27

The number of cigarette-smoking people is greater than the number of pipe-smoking people 

Option 1: 29,765 

Option 2: 47,624

Option 3: 11,906

Option 4: 59,530

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 47,624


Solution : Total number of people = 1,19,060
Degree subtended by number of people smoking cigarettes = 180$^\circ$
Degree subtended by number of people smoking pipe = 36$^\circ$
The number of cigarette-smoking people is greater than the number of pipe-smoking people = $\frac{180^\circ-36^\circ}{360^\circ}\times 119060=\frac{144^\circ}{360^\circ}\times 119060$ = 47624

Question : Internal bisectors of $\angle$ B and $\angle$ C of $\triangle$ ABC meet at O. If $\angle$ BAC = $80^{\circ}$, then the value of $\angle$ BOC is:

Option 1: $120^{\circ}$

Option 2: $140^{\circ}$

OB and OC are the angle bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$.
In $\triangle OBC$,
$\angle OBC + \angle BCO + \angle COB = 180^{\circ}$
$⇒\frac{1}{2} \angle B + \frac{1}{2} \angle C + \angle COB = 180^{\circ}$
$⇒\frac{1}{2} (\angle B+\angle C) + \angle COB
