Correct Answer: 61%

Solution : For successive percentage change use the following formula, $x+y+\frac{xy}{100}$, where $x$ and $y$ are percentage increases or decreases, if increases take positive and if decreases take negative.
Given: $x$ = 15% and $y$ = 40%
$\therefore$ The equivalent price increase = $15+40+\frac{15×40}{100}= 61\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 61%.

Correct Answer: ATEP

Solution : Given:
DUKE is coded as ZQGA.

Subtract 4 from the place value of each letter of DUKE to get the code –
D – 4 = Z; U – 4 = Q; K – 4 = G; E – 4 = A
Thus, DUKE is coded as ZQGA.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for EXIT→E – 4 = A; X – 4 = T; I – 4 = E; T – 4 = P

So, EXIT is coded as ATEP. Hence, the second option is correct.

Correct Answer: 110%

Solution : Let the cost price of the first box be 100.
$\therefore$ Selling price of first box = 100 + 5 = 105
He sold the 2nd box doubling the selling price of the first box.
$\therefore$ Selling price of 2nd box = 105 × 2 = 210
So, the profit percentage on the 2nd box $=\frac{210-100}{100}×100=110\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 110%.

Correct Answer: 16 years

Solution : Given: A certain sum of money becomes triple itself in 8 years at simple interest.
Let $P$ be the principal, the interest rate be $R$ and simple interest be $2P$ after 8 years.
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ $2P=\frac{P\times R\times 8}{100}$
⇒ $R=\frac{2P\times 100}{P\times 8}=25\%$
Now, the principal becomes $5P$, then the interest would be $4P$ in $T$ years and the rate of interest is 25%.
⇒ $4P=\frac{P\times T\times 25}{100}$
⇒ $T=\frac{4P\times 100}{P\times 25}=16$ years
Hence, the correct answer is 16 years.

Correct Answer: 4 days

Solution : Sonu can do work in 15 days
Monu can do it in 10 days
Tipu can do it in 12 days
Let the total work be considered as 120 units which is the multiple of 15, 10, and 12.
Sonu can do ($\frac{120}{15}$) = 8 units of work in a day.
Monu can do ($\frac{120}{10}$) = 12 units of work in a day.
Tipu can do ($\frac{120}{12}$) = 10 units of work in a day.
Hence, Sonu, Monu, and Tipu together can do (8 + 12 + 10) = 30 units of work in a day.
$\therefore$ They can complete the total work of 120 units in ($\frac{120}{30}$) = 4 days.
Hence, the correct answer is 4 days.

Correct Answer: An appeasements policies

Solution : The error lies in the third option.

Explanation:
The term "appeasements" is incorrect because "appeasement" is a word that doesn't require a plural form when used in this context to modify "policies". The correct form is "appeasement policy," as "appeasement" describes the type of policies being discussed.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be, "The appeasement policies were all but a sham to misdirect the local groups".

Correct Answer: lemon

Solution : The correct option is lemon.

Lemon contains citric acid in its free form. Lemons' sour flavour is caused by a natural organic acid. Lemon juice contains 5% to 6% citric acid. Other citrus fruits, such as oranges, limes, and grapefruits, contain citric acid. Other fruits and vegetables that contain it include tomatoes, pineapples, and kiwis. Citric acid has several applications. It is used in food, and drinks as a flavouring ingredient, as a preservative, and as a cleaning agent. It is also used to make medications and cosmetics.

Correct Answer: 31 and 81

Solution : Given:
81 + 31 ÷ 9 – 7 = 33

Let's check the options –
First options: 9 and 7
81 + 31 ÷ 7 – 9 = 33
On solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 81 + 31 ÷ 7 – 9
= 81 + 4.43 – 9
= 76.43 ≠ 33
Second option: 31 and 9
81 + 9 ÷ 31 – 7 = 33
On solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 81 + 9 ÷ 31 – 7
= 81 + 0.29 – 7
= 74.29 ≠ 33
Third option: 31 and 81
31 + 81 ÷ 9 – 7 = 33
On solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 31 + 81 ÷ 9 – 7
= 31 + 9 – 7
= 33
Fourth option: 81 and 7
7 + 31 ÷ 9 – 81 = 33
On solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 7 + 31 ÷ 9 – 81
= 7 + 3.44 – 81
= –70.56 ≠ 33

So, the third option satisfies the equation. Hence, the third option is correct.

Correct Answer:

Solution : On comparing the question figure and all the option figures, the following figure will combine and make the complete pattern –

Hence, the fourth option is correct.
