A manufacturer makes 600 articles at a cost of Rs. 5 per article. He fixes the selling price such that if only 500 articles are sold, he would make a profit of 30% on his outlay. However 60 articles get spoilt and he was able to sell 540 articles at this price. Find his actual profit percent.1. 30.4%2. 40.3%3. 35%4. 55.2%5. 40.4%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : 40.4%

Given:

Cost of per articles = Rs. 5 

Profit % = 30%

Concept used:

Profit percent = [(SP – CP)/CP] × 100

CP = cost price

SP = selling price

Calculation:

CP of 600 articles = Rs. (600 × 5)

⇒ Rs. 3000

SP of 500 articles = Rs. (3000 × 13/10)

⇒ Rs. 3900

SP per articles = Rs. (3900/500)

⇒ Rs. 7.8

SP of 540 articles = Rs. (540 × 7.8)

⇒ Rs. 4212

Profit = Rs. (4212 – 3000) = Rs. 1212

Profit percent = (1212/3000) × 100

⇒ 40.4%

∴ Profit percent is 40.4%

The product of three consecutive positive numbers is divided by each of them in turn, the sum of the three quotients will be 74. What will be sum of three numbers?1. 122. 153. 174. 19

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 15

Let the three consecutive numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2

Now, the product of these three numbers = x (x + 1) (x + 2)

The product is divided by each of them and sum of three quotients is 74 

∴ (x + 1) (x + 2) + x (x + 1) + x (x + 2) = 74

⇒ x2 + 2 + 3x + x2 + x + x2 + 2x = 74

⇒ 3x2 + 6x = 74 – 2

⇒ x2 + 2x – 24 = 0

⇒ x2 + 6x – 4x – 24 = 0

⇒ x(x + 6) – 4(x + 6) = 0

⇒ x = -6, 4

Rejecting -6 as number is positive

∴ Three consecutive numbers are 4, 5 and 6

Sum = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15

∴ The sum of three numbers is 15

In 2002, Meenu's age was one-third of the age of Meera, whereas in 2010, Meenu's age was half the age of Meera, What is Meenu's year of birth ?1. 19922. 19943. 19964. 1998

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1994

Given :

In 2002, Meenu's age was one-third of the age of Meera, whereas in 2010, Meenu's age was half the age of Meera.

Calculations :

Let the age of Meera in 2002 be 'M'

So the age of Meenu in 2002 will be M/3

Age of Meera in 2010 will be (M + 8) years 

Age of Meenu after 8 years will be (M/3) + 8 years 

According to the question 

(M/3) + 8 = (1/2) of (M + 8) 

(2M/3) + 16 = M + 8 

M/3 = 8 

⇒ M = 24 years 

Age of Meera in 2002 = M = 24 years 

Age of Meenu in 2002 = M/3 = 8 years

Date of birth of menu = 2002 - 8 

⇒ 1994 

∴ Option 2 will be the correct choice.

Which one of the following is not correct?1. One gram is one-hundredth of one kilogram.2. One millimetre is one-tenth of one centimetre.3. One lakh is equal to a hundred thousand4. One hundredth of a crore is equal to one lakh

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : One gram is one-hundredth of one kilogram.

Checking all statements one by one : 

1) 1 kilogram = 1000 grams 

One-hundredth of one kilogram = 1/100 × 1000 grams = 10 grams 

So, the given statement is not correct.

2) 1 cm = 10 mm

⇒ one-tenth of 1 cm = 1/10 × 10 mm = 1 mm

So, the given statement is correct.

3) 1 lakh = 100000

⇒ 100000= 100 × 1000

So, 1 lakh equals a hundred thousand.

∴ The given statement is correct.

4) 1 crore = 10000000

One hundredth of a crore = 1/100 × 10000000 = 100000

which is one lakh so, this statement is also true.

Which one of the following is true?1. The number of seconds in 6 hours is equal to the number of minutes in 12 days.2. The number of minutes in 15 days is equal to the number of seconds in 8 hours.3. The number of minutes in 10 days is equal to the number of seconds in 6 days4. The number of seconds in 2 hours is equal to the number of minutes in 5 days.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : The number of seconds in 2 hours is equal to the number of minutes in 5 days.

Option 1:

An hour = 60 minutes

A minute = 60 seconds

An hour = 60 × 60

The number of seconds in 6 hours is equal to the number of minutes in 12 days. 

 The number of seconds in 6 hours = 6 × 60 × 60

⇒ 21600 seconds

The number of minutes in 12 days = 12 × 24 × 60

⇒ 17280 minutes

21600 > 17280 

Hence, The number of seconds in 6 hours is not equal to the number of minutes in 12 days.

Option 2:

The number of minutes in 15 days is equal to the number of seconds in 8 hours.

The number of minutes in 15 days = 15 × 24 × 60

⇒ 21600 minutes

The number of seconds in 8 hours = 8 × 60 × 60

⇒ 28800 seconds

21600 < 28800 

The number of minutes in 15 days is not equal to the number of seconds in 8 hours.

Option 3:

The number of minutes in 10 days is equal to the number of seconds in 6 days

The number of minutes in 10 days = 10 × 24 × 60

⇒ 14400 minutes

The number of seconds in 6 days = 6 × 24 × 60 × 60

⇒ 518400 seconds

14400 < 518400 

Option 4:

The number of seconds in 2 hours is equal to the number of minutes in 5 days.

The number of seconds in 2 hours = 2 × 60 × 60

⇒ 7200 seconds

The number of minutes in 5 days = 5 × 24 × 60

⇒ 7200 minutes

7200 = 7200

∴ Option 4 is true

27998.

The L.C.M. of two different numbers are 30. Which of the following cannot be their H.C.F.?1. 122. 153. 64. 10

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 12

Given:

The L.C.M. of two different numbers are 30.

Concept used:

L.C.M. of two different numbers = H.C.F. × Prime factor of first number × Prime factor of second number

Calculation:

H.C.F. is the factor of L.C.M.

∴ H.C.F. divides L.C.M. completely.

Here option 2, option 3 and option 4 are dividing L.C.M. completely and option 1 is not dividing L.C.M. completely. 

∴ option 1 cannot be H.C.F.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 4 + √7

Given:

The number is 23 + 8√7

Identity used:

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

Calculation:

The number can be written as 23 + 2 × 4√7 

⇒ 23 + 8√7 = 23 + 2√(16 × 7)

⇒ 23 + 8√7 = 16 + 7 + 2√(16 × 7)

⇒ 23 + 8√7 = 42 + √7 + 2 × 4 × √7

⇒ 23 + 8√7 = (4 + √7)2 

√(23 + 8√7) = √(4 + √7)2 

⇒ √(23 + 8√7) = 4 + √7

∴ Square root of 23 + 8√7 is 4 + √7
