Question : Study the given bar graph carefully and answer the question that follows. Increment of four employees (in INR) in the months of May, June and July.
What is Kamal’s overall average increment in three months?
Option 1: INR 60
Option 2: INR 70
Option 3: INR 75
Option 4: INR 65
Correct Answer: INR 65
Solution : Increment in May = INR 65 Increment in June = INR 55 Increment in July = INR 75 Average = $\frac{\text{Increment in May + June + July}}{3}=\frac{65+55+75}{3}=\frac{195}{3}= 65$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 65.

Correct Answer: 16.76
Solution : Area of coloured sector = $\frac{120}{360}×\pi×r^2$ = $\frac{1}{3}×\frac{22}{7}×4^2$ = $\frac{22}{21}×16$ = 16.76 cm2 Hence, the correct answer is 16.76.

Question : The perimeter of a sheet of paper in the shape of a quadrant of the circle is 75 cm. Its area would be $(\pi=\frac{22}{7})$
Option 1: 100 cm2
Option 2: 346.5 cm2
Option 3: 693 cm2
Option 4: 512.25 cm2
Correct Answer: 346.5 cm2
Solution : Let the radius of the circle be $r$ cm. Perimeter of quadrant = $2r+\frac{1}{4}\times 2\pi r$ So, $2r+\frac{1}{2}\pi r=75$ ⇒ $r(2+\frac{11}{7})=75$ ⇒ $r=\frac{75\times 7}{25}$ ⇒ $r=21$ cm Area of quadrant = $\frac{1}{4}\pi r^2$ = $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{22}{7}\times 21^2$ = 346.5 cm2 Hence, the
Question : Directions: If A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes −, and D denotes ÷, then what will be the value of the following equation? 11 B 12 C 144 D 24 A 57 =?
