Question : Find the area of the trapezium whose parallel sides measure 14 cm, and 18 cm and the distance between parallel sides is 15 cm.
Option 1: 310 cm2
Option 2: 300 cm2
Option 3: 220 cm2
Option 4: 240 cm2

Question : If the cost price is Rs. 150 less than the selling price and the profit is 20%, then what is the selling price (in Rs.)?
Option 1: Rs. 750
Option 2: Rs. 800
