Question : The greater of the two numbers whose product is 900 and whose sum exceeds their difference by 30 is:

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 75

Option 3: 90

Option 4: 100

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60


Solution : Let the numbers be $x$ and $y$ where $x > y$.
According to the question,
⇒ $(x + y) – (x – y) = 30$
⇒ $x + y–x + y = 30$
⇒ $y = \frac{30}{2} = 15$
Also, $xy = 900$
⇒ $15x = 900$
$\therefore x = \frac{900}{15} = 60$
Hence, the correct answer is 60.

Option 1: 5,800

Option 2: 6,200

Option 3: 6,000

Option 4: 5,000

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6,000


Solution : Given: In an examination, 92% of the students passed and 480 students failed.
Let the number of the students who appeared in the examination = 100%.
The number of the students failed = 100 – 92 = 8%.
8% = 480
The number of students who appeared in the examination,
100% = $\frac{480}{8}\times 100=6000$
Hence, the correct answer is 6,000.

Question : The cost price of an article is decreased by 10% and then increased by 20%. If the final price is INR 540, then the original cost price is:

Option 1: INR 500

Option 2: INR 650

Option 3: INR 550

Option 4: INR 600

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 500


Solution : Let the cost price be INR $x$.
The cost price first decreased by 10%, then increased by 20%.
So, $\frac{x×90×120}{100×100}=540$
⇒ $108x=54000$
⇒ $x=500$
Therefore, the original cost price = INR 500
Hence, the correct answer is INR 500.

Question : The average mark obtained by a class of 60 students is 65. The average marks of half of the students were found to be 85. The average marks of the remaining students are:

Option 1: 35

Option 2: 45

Option 3: 55

Option 4: 65

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 45


Solution : Given that the average mark of 60 students is 65.
Total marks = (60 × 65) = 3900
The average mark of half of the students = 85
Therefore, total marks of 30 students = 30 × 85 = 2550
Total marks of the remaining students = 3900 – 2550 = 1350
So, the Average mark of the remaining 30 students = $\frac{1350}{30}$ = 45
Hence, the correct answer is 45.
