Option 3: 40000

Option 4: 42095

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 40095


Solution : Marked price = INR 55,000
Successive discounts of 10%, 10%, and 10%
For thre successive discounts, selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_3\%}{100}×$ marked price
Selling price = $\frac{90}{100}$×$\frac{90}{100}$×$\frac{90}{100}$× 55,000 = INR 40,095.
Hence, the correct answer is 40095.

Question : Anuj and Anup have to travel from place A to place B in their respective cars. Anuj is driving at 70 km/hr and takes 3 halts of 10 minutes each, while Anup is driving at 80 km/hr and takes 4 halts of 15 minutes each. The time taken by Anup to reach place B, if Anuj takes 8.5 hours, is:

Option 1: 8 hours

Option 2: 7 hours

Option 3: 4 hours

Option 4: 6 hours

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8 hours


Solution : Given: Time spent by Anuj on halts = (10 × 3 = 30) minutes = 0.5 hours
Anuj's speed = 70 km/hr.
He travels for 8.5 – 0.5 = 8 hours
$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
So, place B's distance from A = 70 × 8

Question : If $(4a-3)^2=0$, then the value of $64a^3-48a^2+12a+13$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 11

Option 3: 22

Option 4: 33

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 22


Solution : Given: $(4a-3)^2=0$
$⇒4a-3=0$
$⇒a=\frac{3}{4}$
Substitute the value of $a$ in the equation below, we get,
$64a^3-48a^2+12a+13$
$=(4a)^3-3×(4a)^2×1+3×4a×(1)^2-(1)^3+14$
$=(4a-1)^3+14$
$=(4×\frac{3}{4}-1)^3+14$
$=8+14$
$=22$
Hence, the correct answer is 22.
