Question : Directions: If A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes −, and D denotes ÷, then what will be the value of the following expression? 54 C 34 A 24 D 8 B 2 = ?
Option 1: 29
Option 2: 23
Option 3: 26
Option 4: 21
Correct Answer: 26
Solution : Given: A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes −, and D denotes ÷ 54 C 34 A 24 D 8 B 2 = ?
After replacing the letters with the mathematical signs, we get – = 54 − 34 + 24 ÷ 8 ×
Question : Three circles of radius $63\;\mathrm{cm}$ each are placed in such a way that each circle touches the other two. What is the area of the portion enclosed by the three circles? (in $\mathrm{cm^2}$)
Option 1: $7938\sqrt{3}-4158$
Option 2: $3969\sqrt{3}-4158$
Option 3: $7938\sqrt{3}-6237$
Option 4: $3969\sqrt{3}-6237$
Correct Answer: $3969\sqrt{3}-6237$
Solution : The side length of the equilateral triangle $=2 \times 63 = 126\;\mathrm{cm}$. The area of an equilateral triangle with side length ($a$) $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2$ The area of the equilateral triangle $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times (126)^2=3969\sqrt3\;\mathrm{cm^2}$ Each sector cut out by the triangle is one-sixth of a circle (since

Question : A shopkeeper purchases two items for Rs. 520. One is sold gaining 16% and the other at a loss of 10%, thus making no profit or loss. What is the selling price of the item sold at a loss?
Option 1: Rs. 288
Option 2: Rs. 232
Option 3: Rs. 320
Option 4: Rs. 200
Correct Answer: Rs. 288
Solution : Given that, the cost price of two articles = Rs. 520 Suppose the cost price of the article sold at a loss = Rs. $y$ $\therefore$ cost price of the article sold at profit = Rs. (520 – $y$) According to the question, $y\times\frac{10}{100}=(520-y)\times\frac{16}{100}$
Question : Pipes A, B and C can fill an empty tank in $\frac{30}{7}$ hours if all three pipes are opened simultaneously. A and B are filling pipes and C is an emptying pipe.

Option 1: 3
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 4
Solution : Let the time taken by B be $x$ hour. Work done by B in 1 hr = $\frac{1}{x}$ Work done by (A + B – C) in 1 hr = $\frac{7}{30}$ According to the question: ⇒ $\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{7}{30}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{x}
