Correct Answer: $\frac{100x}{100+x}$%

Solution : Let the original number be = 100
It is increased by $x$%,
Now, the new number = $(100 + x)$
It is to be reduced from $(100 + x)$ to 100.
Thus, reduction = $(100 + x) - 100 = x$
So, the reduction percentage

Correct Answer: 21

Solution : Distance = 28 km
Speed = 8 km/hr
Time taken = $\frac{28}{8}$
= $\frac{7}{2}$
= 3.5 hr
Speed = 6 km/hr
Distance covered = 3.5 × 6
= 21 km
Hence, the correct answer is 21.

Correct Answer: 28 cm²

Solution :
Area of the semi-circle
= $\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2$
= $\frac{1}{2}\times  \frac{22}{7}\times  7^2$
= 77 cm²
The altitude of the isosceles triangle OC is $r$ = 7 cm.
The base of the isosceles triangle AB is the diameter = $2 r$ = 14

Correct Answer: 0.003

Solution : Let $x$ be the mean proportional value.
a = 0.03, b = 0.0003
According to the question,
$\frac{a}{x} =\frac{x}{b}$
⇒ $\frac{0.03}{x} = \frac{x}{0.0003}$
⇒ $x^2 = 0.03 \times 0.0003$
$\therefore x = 0.003$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.003.

Correct Answer: 1.44 crore

Solution : Annual expenditure = Rs. 72 crore
Expenditure on miscellaneous = 24% of annual expenditure
= $\frac{24}{100}×72$
= 17.28 crore
So, the monthly expenditure = $\frac{17.28}{12} = 1.44$ crore
Hence, the correct answer is 1.44 crore.

Correct Answer: 2

Solution : Given: $\frac{\sin 54^{\circ}}{\cos 36^{\circ}}+\frac{\sec 46^{\circ}}{\operatorname{cosec} 44^{\circ}}$
= $\frac{\sin 54^{\circ}}{\cos (90^{\circ}-54^{\circ})}+\frac{\sec 46^{\circ}}{\operatorname{cosec} (90^{\circ}-46^{\circ})}$
= $\frac{\sin 54^{\circ}}{\sin 54^{\circ}}+\frac{\sec 46^{\circ}}{\sec 46^{\circ}}$
= $1 + 1$
= $2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
