Question : Mohit and Rohit undertook a work for Rs. 2200. Mohit alone can do that work in 10 days and Rohit alone can do the same work in 12 days. If they work together, then what will be the difference in the amount they receive?
Option 1: Rs. 500
Option 2: Rs. 200
Option 3: Rs. 600
Option 4: Rs. 400
Correct Answer: Rs. 200
Solution : Let the efficiency of Mohit and Rohit be $M$ and $R$, respectively. ⇒ $\frac{M}{R}=\frac{\text{time taken by Rohit}}{\text{time taken by Mohit}}$ ⇒ $\frac{M}{R}=\frac{12}{10}=\frac{6}{5}$ So, Rs. 2200 will be divided in the ratio of 6 : 5. $\therefore$ Share of Mohit $=\frac{6}{6+5}×2200$ = Rs. 1200 So,
Question : Direction: The bar graph shows average marks scored in a 100-mark Science exam by students of 7 divisions of Standard X. Study the diagram and answer the following question. Marks of Division F were lesser than those of Division C by:
Option 1: 35%
Option 2: 47.25%
Option 3: 45%
Option 4: 43.75%
Correct Answer: 43.75%
Solution : Marks of division F = 45 Marks of Division C = 80 Difference = 80 – 45 = 35 So, the required percentage = $\frac{35}{80}\times100$ = 43.75% Hence, the correct answer is 43.75%.
Question : An article was sold for INR 716 after offering a discount of 10.5%. If a discount of 6.5% is given, then for how much (in INR) should it be sold?
Option 1: 748
Option 2: 732
Option 3: 675
Option 4: 756
Correct Answer: 748
Solution : An article was sold = INR 716 Discount = 10.5% Let the marked price be $x$. Selling Price = $\text{Marked Price}×\frac{(100 - \text{Discount%})}{100}$ ⇒ $716 = x×\frac{(100-10.5)}{100}$ ⇒ $716 = x×\frac{89.5}{100}$ ⇒ $x = \frac{716\times100}{89.5}$ $\therefore x =$ INR 800 At a discount of 6.5%,
Question : Mohan purchased trousers for INR 765 after a discount of 15% was offered on its marked price. What is the marked price (in INR) of the trousers?
Option 1: 885
Option 2: 855
Option 3: 900
Option 4: 870
Correct Answer: 900
Solution : The marked price (MP) = Selling price (SP) × $\frac{100}{(100-\text{discount percentage})}$ The trousers were purchased for INR 765 after a 15% discount, which means that INR 765 is 85% of the marked price (MP) (because 100% – 15% = 85%). MP = 765 × $\frac{100}{85}$
