Question : A man bought a watch for a 12% discount. If he had bought it for a 24% discount, he would have got the watch for INR 2400 less. The marked price of the watch is:
Option 1: INR 30,000
Option 2: INR 22,500
Option 3: INR 20,000
Option 4: INR 25,000
Correct Answer: INR 20,000
Solution : Let the marked price of the watch be INR $x$. Selling price of watch with 12% discount = $\frac{100-12}{100}x$ = $\frac{88}{100}x$ Selling price of watch with 24% discount = $\frac{100-24}{100}x$ = $\frac{76}{100}x$ According to the question, $\frac{88x}{100}-\frac{76x}{100}=2400$ $⇒\frac{12x}{100}=2400$ $⇒x=20000$ Hence, the correct answer is

Question : Two ships are sailing in the sea on the two sides of a lighthouse. The angles of elevation of the top of the lighthouse as observed from the two ships are 30° and 45°, respectively. If the lighthouse is 100 m high, the distance between the two ships is: (take $\sqrt{3}= 1.73$)
Option 1: 173 metres
Option 2: 200 metres
Option 3: 273 metres
Option 4: 300 metres
Correct Answer: 273 metres
Solution : Let, BD be the lighthouse and A and C be the positions of the ships. Then, BD=100 m, $\angle$BAD=30°, $\angle$BCD=45° In $\triangle$ABD, we have $\tan 30° = \frac{BD}{BA}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ = $\frac{100}{BA}$ ⇒ BA = 100$\sqrt{3}$ In $\triangle$CBD, we have $ \tan 45° =
