Initial price increase by 70%
⇒ New price = 100 + (70% of 100) = 170
Discounts of 5% and 20%
⇒ Discounted Price = 170 – (5% of 170) - 20% of [170 – (5% of 170)]
=

Question : Motorcyclist P started his journey at a speed of 30 km/h. After 30 minutes, motorcyclist Q started from the same place but with a speed of 40 km/h. How much time (in hours) will Q take to overtake P?

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $\frac{3}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{3}{8}$

Option 4: $2$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{2}$


Solution : Relative speed in the same direction = (40 – 30) = 10 km/hr
Distance covered by P in 30 minutes,
= $(30×\frac{1}{2})=15$ km
The time it will take Q to overtake P = $\frac{15}{10}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ hr
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{2}$.

$OA^2 = OP^2 + PA^2$
Substituting the given values, we get:
$OA^2 = 12^2 + 5^2 = 144 +

Question : When the price of sugar increased by 28%, a family reduced its consumption per month such that the expenditure on sugar was only 12% more than the earlier one. If the family consumed 18.4 kg of sugar per month earlier, then what is its new consumption of sugar per month?

Option 1: 15.75 kg

Option 2: 16.1 kg

Option 3: 15.8 kg

Option 4: 16.6 kg

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16.1 kg


Solution : Let the price of 1 kg sugar be 100.
So, total expenditure before price hike = 18.4 × 100 = 1840
New price = 100 + 28 = 128
New expenditure $=\frac{100+12}{100}×1840=\frac{112}{100}×1840=2060.8$
So, the new quantity of sugar expenditure = $\frac{2060.8}{128}=16.1$ kg

Question : A hemispherical bowl of internal diameter 18 cm contains water. This water is to be filled in cylindrical bottles of diameter 6 cm and height 3 cm. The number of bottles required to empty the bowl is:

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 18

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18


Solution : The volume of a hemisphere is $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$.
Given that the diameter of the hemisphere is 18 cm, the radius$(r)$ is 9 cm.
$\therefore$ The volume of the hemisphere = $\frac{2}{3}\pi (9)^3 = 486 \pi \text{ cm}^3$
The volume of a cylinder is $\pi r^2h$.
