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
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.
Question : In an examination, 92% of the students passed and 480 students failed. If so, how many students appeared in the examination?
Option 1: 5,800
Option 2: 6,200
Option 3: 6,000
Option 4: 5,000
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
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.
