Correct Answer: 18 sq. units

Solution :
$9x+4y=36$ can be written as
$\frac{9x+4y}{36}=1$
$⇒\frac{x}{4} + \frac{y}{9} = 1$
$\therefore$ Area = $\frac{1}{2}\times OA\times OB=\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 9$ = 18 sq. units
Hence, the correct answer is 18 sq. units.

Correct Answer: 52

Solution : We know, Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of all the scores of the students}}{\text{No. of students}}$
The sum of the scores of all 45 students = Average × No. of students = 52 × 45 = 2340
Now, A group of 6 boys leaving the class, the average score is 40
⇒ Sum of the scores of 6 boys = Average × No. of students = 40 × 6 = 240
⇒ Sum of the scores of 8 boys joining the class = Average × No. of students = 43 × 8 = 344
Now, the average score of the class
$=\frac{\text{Total Sum - Sum of scores of students leaving class + Sum of scores of students joining class }}{\text{Total number of students - Number of students leaving + number of students joining}}$
$=\frac{2340-240+344}{45-6+8}=\frac{2444}{47}=52$
Hence, the correct answer is 52.

Correct Answer: INR 50.12

Solution : First discount = 35% of 700
Successive discounts = 18% and 12%
Effective discount = $18+12-\frac{18×12}{100}= 30-2.16 = 27.84$%
Second discount = 27.84% of 700
Required difference = (35 – 27.84)% of 700
= 7.16% of 700
= 0.0716 × 700
= 50.12
Hence, the correct answer is INR 50.12.
