Question : By selling a bag for Rs. 230, a profit of 15% is made. The selling price of the bag, when sold at 20% profit, would be:
Option 1: Rs. 250
Option 2: Rs. 205
Option 3: Rs. 240
Option 4: Rs. 200
Correct Answer: Rs. 240
Solution : Let the Cost price (CP) be Rs. $x$. Selling price (SP) of the bag = Rs. 230 and profit = 15% SP = $\frac{100 +\text{Profit %}}{100}$ × CP = 230 ⇒ $\frac{115x}{100}$ = 230 ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{230}{115}$ × 100 ⇒ $x$ = 200
Question : Evaluate the following. $\sin 25^{\circ} \sin 65^{\circ}-\cos 25^{\circ} \cos 65^{\circ}$.
Option 1: 40
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 0
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : $\sin 25^{\circ} \sin 65^{\circ}-\cos 25^{\circ} \cos 65^{\circ}$ We know that, $\cos(x + y) = \cos x \cos y - \sin x \sin y$ Applying, $\sin 25^{\circ} \sin 65^{\circ}-\cos 25^{\circ} \cos 65^{\circ}$ = $-(-\sin 25^{\circ} \sin 65^{\circ}+\cos 25^{\circ} \cos 65^{\circ})$ = $-\cos(25^{\circ}+65^{\circ})$ = $-\cos90^{\circ}=0$ Hence, the

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as the numbers of the given set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (267, 128, 139)
Option 1: (267, 132, 135)
Option 2: (325, 112, 215)
Option 3: (365, 154, 211)
Option 4: (297, 146, 151)
Correct Answer: (325, 112, 215)
Solution : Given: (267, 128, 139)
Here, (267, 128, 139)→128 + 139 = 267
Let's check the options – First option: (267, 132, 135)→132 + 135 = 267 Second option: (325, 112, 215)→112 + 215 = 327 ≠ 325 Third option: (365, 154, 211)→154 +

Question : In a right-angled triangle, if the hypotenuse is 20 cm and the ratio of the other two sides is 4 : 3, the lengths of the sides are:
Option 1: 4 cm and 3 cm
Option 2: 8 cm and 6 cm
Option 3: 12 cm and 9 cm
Option 4: 16 cm and 12 cm
Correct Answer: 16 cm and 12 cm
Solution : Given: In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is 20 cm and the ratio of the other two sides is 4 : 3. Let the two sides be $4x$ cm and $3x$ cm. Then $(4x)^2+(3x)^2=20^2$ ⇒ $25x^2=400$ ⇒ $x^2=\frac{400}{25}$ ⇒ $x^2=16$ ⇒
Question : Select the most appropriate one-word substitution of the given group of words.
Something that is absolutely necessary, that you cannot do without.
Option 1: Insular
Option 2: Indispensable
Option 3: Isolated
Option 4: Intolerant
Correct Answer: Indispensable
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The word indispensable is the most appropriate one-word substitution for the group of words because it means something that is absolutely necessary, essential, and cannot be done without. It conveys the idea that a particular thing or quality
Question : If $x+y+z=0$, then what is the value of $\frac{x^2}{yz}+\frac{y^2}{xz}+\frac{z^2}{xy}$?
Option 1: $0$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $3$
Correct Answer: $3$
Solution : Given: $x+y+z=0$ So, $x^3+y^3+z^3=3xyz$ $\frac{x^2}{yz}+\frac{y^2}{xz}+\frac{z^2}{xy}$ = $\frac{x^3}{xyz}+\frac{y^3}{xyz}+\frac{z^3}{xyz}$ = $\frac{x^3+y^3+z^3}{xyz}$ = $\frac{3xyz}{xyz}$ = $3$ Hence, the correct answer is $3$.
