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%
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
Question : Direction: Following is the pie chart showing the result of the survey among 119060 people concerning tobacco. Study the pie diagram and answer the following question.

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: $140^{\circ}$
Option 3: $110^{\circ}$
Option 4: $130^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $130^{\circ}$
Solution : 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
