Question : A store sells a watch for a profit of 25% of its cost price. Then, the percentage of profit against the selling price is:

Option 1: 22%

Option 2: 20%

Option 3: 18%

Option 4: 15%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20%


Solution : Let the cost price (CP) of the watch be 100.
The selling price (SP) at a profit of 25% = 125
So, profit = 125 – 100 = 25
When the profit percentage is calculated on SP,
Profit % = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{SP}} × 100 = \frac{25}{125}

Question : What is the area of the curved surface of a right circular cone with a height of 8 m and a slant height of 10 m?

Option 1: $60\mathrm{~m}^2$

Option 2: $60\pi \mathrm{~m}^2$

Option 3: $40 \mathrm{~m}^2$

Option 4: $ 40 \pi \mathrm{~m}^2$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $60\pi \mathrm{~m}^2$


Solution : Given: Height($h$) = 8 m and slant height($l$) = 10 m
Radius($r$) = $\sqrt{l^2-h^2}$

= $\sqrt{100-64}$
= $\sqrt{36}$
= 6 m
Area of the curved surface of a right circular cone
= $ \pi rl$
= $\pi×6×10$
= $60\pi $

Option 1: Rs. 256

Option 2: Rs. 280

Option 3: Rs. 380

Option 4: Rs. 320

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 256

Marked price, MP = Rs. 400
Profit % gained = 25%
Selling price, SP after 20% discount = MP – $\frac{20}{100}$MP

⇒ SP = Rs. 320
Also, Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling
