Question : If $\frac{A}{L}+\frac{M}{B}=1$ and $\frac{B}{M}+\frac{N}{C}=1$, then the value of $\frac{L}{A}+\frac{C}{N}$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{B}{M}$

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 1

Option 4: $\frac{M}{B}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given: $\frac{A}{L}+\frac{M}{B}=1$............................(equation 1)
$\frac{B}{M}+\frac{N}{C}=1$.................................(equation 2)
Now,
$\frac{A}{L}+\frac{M}{B}=1$
⇒ $\frac{A}{L}=\frac{B-M}{B}$
⇒ $\frac{L}{A}=\frac{B}{B-M}$
Similarly, $\frac{C}{N}=\frac{M}{M-B}$
Putting the values in $\frac{L}{A} + \frac{C}{N}$, we get:
$\frac{L}{A} + \frac{C}{N} =\frac{B}{B-M}+\frac{M}{M-B} $
$⇒\frac{L}{A} + \frac{C}{N} =\frac{B}{B-M}-\frac{M}{B-M} $
$\therefore\frac{L}{A} + \frac{C}{N} =\frac{B-M}{B-M}=1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : After successive discounts of 10% and 5%, an article was sold for Rs.342. What was the original price of the article?

Option 1: Rs. 400

Option 2: Rs. 342

Option 3: Rs. 300

Option 4: Rs. 442

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 400


Solution : Let the original price of the mobile be Rs. $x$.
Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts.
Discount = $(10+5-\frac{50}{100}$)% = 14.5%
Selling price of the article = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}\ \%}{100}$ × original price
⇒ $342 = \frac{100-14.5}{100} \times x$
