Question : The marked price of a laptop is Rs. 12000. In a clearance sale, it is sold at a discount of 15%, incurring a loss of 4%. What is the cost price of the laptop?

Option 1: Rs. 10200

Option 2: Rs. 10625

Option 3: Rs. 11200

Option 4: Rs. 10275

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 10625


Solution : Here, the marked price of a laptop = Rs. 12000
Cost price of the laptop = Rs. $y$
According to the question,
(100 – 4)% of $y$ = (100 – 15)% of 12000
⇒ $y × \frac{96}{100}=\frac{85}{100}×12000=120×85$
⇒ $y = \frac{120×85×100}{96}$
$\therefore y = 10625$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 10625.

Question : A can do a piece of work in 10 days, while A and B together can complete it in $2 \frac{1}{2}$ days. How long will B alone take to complete the work?

Option 1: $\frac{3}{10}$ days

Option 2: $\frac{10}{3}$ days

Option 3: $3$ days

Option 4: $4$ days

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{10}{3}$ days


Solution : Given: A can do a piece of work in 10 days, while A and B together can complete it in $2\frac{1}{2}$ days.
Let the total work = LCM of 10 and $2\frac{1}{2}$ i.e., $\frac{5}{2}$ = 10 units
Now, the efficiency of A = $\frac{10}{10}$ = 1
and the total efficiency of A and B = 10 ÷ $\frac{5}{2}$ = 4
So, the efficiency of B = (4 – 1) = 3
$\therefore$ B alone can complete the work in $\frac{10}{3}$ days.
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{10}{3}$ days.

B sits to the left of A. E is an immediate neighbour of A to the right. Only one person sits to the right of D. F is not an immediate neighbour of B. Who sits to the extreme left?

Option 1: B

Option 2: D

Option 3: E

Option 4: F

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: B


Solution : Given:
(I) Only two people sit between A and B. B sits to the left of A. E is an immediate neighbour of A to the right.

(II) Only two people sit to the left of C. Only one person sits to the right of D. F is not an immediate neighbour of B.

So, B sits to the extreme left. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : If the square of the sum of two numbers is equal to 4 times their product, then the ratio of these numbers is:

Option 1: 2 : 1

Option 2: 1 : 3

Option 3: 1 : 1

Option 4: 1 : 2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1 : 1


Solution : Let the numbers be $x$ and $y$.
According to the question,
$(x + y)^2 = 4xy$
⇒ $x^2+y^2+2xy-4xy = 0$
⇒ $x^2+y^2-2xy = 0$
⇒ $(x -y)^{2} = 0$
⇒ $x = y$
$\therefore$ The required ratio is 1 : 1.
Hence, the correct answer is 1 : 1.

Question : A rectangular lawn whose length is twice its breadth is extended by having four semi-circular portions on its sides. What is the total cost (in INR) of levelling the entire lawn at the rate of INR 100 per square metre, if the smaller side of the rectangular lawn is 12 m? (Take $\pi=3.14$)

Option 1: 85,320

Option 2: 78,650

Option 3: 86,540

Option 4: 97,625

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 85,320


Solution :
Breadth = 12 m
Length = 2 × Breadth = 2 × 12 = 24 m
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth = 12 × 24 = 288 m2
Cost of levelling = Rs. 100 per m2
Area of semi-circle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\pi r^2$
Area of semi-circle on larger side = $\frac{1}{2} \times \pi \times 12^2$ = $72\pi$ m$^2$
Area of semi-circle on smaller side = $\frac{1}{2} × \pi × 6^2$ = $18\pi$ m$^2$
The total area of the lawn = Area of the rectangle + 2 × Area of the semi-circle on the larger side + 2 × Area of the semicircle on the smaller side
Total area of lawn = 288 + (2 × 72$\pi$ ) + (2 × 18$\pi$)
Total area of lawn = 288 + 2$\pi$(72 + 18) = 288 + 2 × 3.14 × 90
 = 288 + 565.2 = 853.2 m$^2$
The total cost of levelling = Total area of lawn × 100
= 853.2 × 100
= 85,320
Hence, the correct answer is INR 85,320.
