Question : A man bought an article and sold it at a gain of 10%. If he had bought the article at 20% less and sold it for INR 1,000 more, he would have made a profit of 40%. The cost price of the article (in INR) is:
Option 1: 50,000
Option 2: 60,000
Option 3: 40,000
Option 4: 25,000
Correct Answer: 50,000
Solution : Here cost price is denoted by CP, selling price is denoted by SP. Let the original CP of the article be $x$. Case 1: SP = $\frac{{100 + \text{Profit%}}}{{100}} \times$ CP ⇒ SP = $\frac{{100 + 10\%}}{{100}} \times x$ ⇒ SP = $\frac{{11x}}{{10}}$ Case2: The
Question : If $\small 1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+......+\ p^{2}=\frac{p(p+1)(2p+1)}{6}$, then $\small 1^{2}+3^{2}+5^{2}+......+17^{2}$ is equal to:
Option 1: 1785
Option 2: 1700
Option 3: 980
Option 4: 969
Correct Answer: 969
Solution : Given: $1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+......+p^{2}=\frac{p(p+1)(2p+1)}{6}$ So, $1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+......+17^{2}=\frac{17(17+1)(2\times 17+1)}{6}$-----------------(1) Also, $2^{2}+4^{2}+6^{2}+......+16^{2}=2^{2}(1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+......+8^{2})$ $⇒2^{2}+4^{2}+6^{2}+......+16^{2}=2^{2}(\frac{8(8+1)(2\times 8+1)}{6})$----------------(2) Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get, $1^{2}+3^{2}+5^{2}+......+17^{2}=\frac{17(17+1)(2\times 17+1)}{6}-2^{2}(\frac{8(8+1)(2\times 8+1)}{6})$ $\therefore1^{2}+3^{2}+5^{2}+......+17^{2}= 969$ Hence, the correct answer is 969.

Question : If $60 \% \text{ of} (x-y)= 45\%(x+y)$ and $y= k \% \text{ of} \ x$, then $21\%$ of $k$ is equal to:
Option 1: 7
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : Given: $60 \% \text{ of} (x-y)= 45\%(x+y)$ and $y= k \% \text{ of} \ x$ So, $\frac{60}{100} \times (x-y)= \frac{45}{100}(x+y)$ ⇒ $60x-60y=45x+45y$ ⇒ $15x=105y$ ⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{1}$ ⇒ $x:y=7:1$ Given, $y= \frac{k}{100}\times x$ Putting the values, we get: $1= \frac{k}{100}\times 7$ ⇒ $k= \frac{100}{7}$ $\therefore 21\%$
