Question : A sum of Rs. 2420 is accumulated in 2 years at 10% Compound Interest on a certain amount. Then the original amount is:
Option 1: Rs. 1000
Option 2: Rs. 2000
Option 3: Rs. 1500
Option 4: Rs. 2500
Correct Answer: Rs. 2000
Solution : Total amount = Rs. 2420 Rate, $R$ = 10% Time, $n$ = 2 Let $P$ be the sum. Total amount = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}$ where $P$ is principal, $R$ is the rate of interest per annum compounded annually and $n$ is time in years. ⇒ 2420

Question : Pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 10, 15 and 30 hours, respectively. D is an emptying pipe which alone can empty the full tank in $x$ hours. A, B and C are opened together for 3 hours and then closed. Now D is opened which alone empties the tank in 30 hours. What is the value of $x$?
Option 1: 50
Option 2: 40
Option 3: 60
Option 4: 45
Correct Answer: 50
Solution : Let the capacity of the tank as $V$. The rates at which pipes A, B, and C fill the tank are $\frac{V}{10}$, $\frac{V}{15}$, and $\frac{V}{30}$ units per hour, respectively. The rate at which pipe D empties the tank is $\frac{V}{x}$ units per hour. In the
Question : Directions: The histogram shows the marks obtained by 45 students of a class. look at the histogram and answer the questions. How many students have obtained 30 or more marks but than less 40?

Question : In the given figure, PAB is a secant and PT is a tangent to the circle from P. If PT = 5 cm, PA = 4 cm and AB = x cm, then x is:
Option 1: $\frac{4}9$ cm
Option 2: $\frac{9}4$ cm
Option 3: 5 cm
Option 4: $\frac{2}{3}$ cm
Correct Answer: $\frac{9}4$ cm
Solution : Given, PT = 5 cm, PA = 4 cm and AB = x cm, Secant PB = (4 + x) cm. As we know when a tangent and secant are drawn from a common point outside the circle, then the square of the tangent
Question : Simplify the following: $\mathrm{(1+cot^2\theta)(1-cos\theta)(1+cos\theta)}$
Option 2: –5
Option 4: –3
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : $\mathrm{(1+cot^2\theta)(1-cos\theta)(1+cos\theta)}$ $=\mathrm{(1+cot^2\theta)(1-cos^2\theta)}$ $=\mathrm{(cosec^2\theta)(sin^2\theta)}$ $=1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.
