Question : The lengths of the two parallel sides of a trapezium are 28 cm and 40 cm. If the length of each of its other two sides is 12 cm, then the area (in cm2) of the trapezium is:

Option 1: $312\sqrt{5}$

Option 2: $408\sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $204\sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $504\sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $204\sqrt{3}$


Solution :
Let ABCD be a trapezium.
AB = 40 cm, CD = 28 cm, and AD = BC = 12 cm.
DE and CF are perpendicular to AB.
As per symmetry AE = FB = 6 cm
In the right-angled triangle CFB
$CF^2= BC^2-FB^2$
⇒ $CF^2=12^2-6^2$

Question : A tradesman marks his goods at 25% above the cost price. If he reduces the marked price by $12\frac{1}{2}\%$, then his profit will be:

Option 1:

$9\frac{3}{8}\%$

Option 2: $7\frac{3}{5}\%$

Option 3: $6\frac{3}{8}\%$

Option 4: $5\frac{1}{3}\%$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:

$9\frac{3}{8}\%$


Solution : Use the successive percentage change formula, where $x$ and $y$ are percentage increases or decreases, if increases take positive and if decreases take negative.
$=(x+y+\frac{xy}{100})\%$
We have, $x = 25\%$ and $y=-12\frac{1}{2}\%=-\frac{25}{2}\%$
The required profit percentage,
$=(25-\frac{25}{2}-\frac{25×25}{200})\%$
$=(25-\frac{25}{2}-\frac{25}{8})\%$
$=\frac{75}{8}\%$
$=9\frac{3}{8}\%$
Hence, the correct answer is
