Answer : 4. "17.08 cm"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 17.08 cm Explanation: Let the length of the rectangle = L cm   Then the breadth of the rectangle = (L - 10) cm   Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B) cm   => 44 = 2(L + L - 10)   => 44 = 4L - 20   => 4L = 64   => L = 16 cm   => B = L - 10 = 6 cm   Diagonal = L2+B2 = 162+62 = 17.08 cm

Answer : 4. "Rs. 500"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Rs. 500 Explanation: Watson bought the book for Rs. 240 and sold to Johny at a profit of 50%. S.P = C.P(1 + P%/100) => S.P for Watson = C.P for Johny = 240(1 + 50/100) = 240 x 1.5 = Rs. 360 Let Johny quoted the marked price of the book as Rs. M We know, SP = M.P(1 - Discount(%)/100) Here discount = 10% to Shekar, S.P for Johny = M(1 - 10/100) = 0.9M But Johny want to earn 25% profit, => S.P = C.P(1 + P%/100) => 0.9M = 360(1 + 25/100) => M = (360x1.25)/0.9 => M = Rs. 500 Therefore, Johny should quote Rs. 500 as the marked price of the book to get 25% profit and allowing 10% discount to Shekar.

Answer : 1. "Rs. 6000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 6000 Explanation: Let the sum invested be Rs. P Let the rate of interest be R% per annum => Interest earned for 5 years = (P x 5 x R/100) = PR/20 Now, given that the interest earned increased by Rs. 600 if the Rate increased to (R+2)% => SI = (P x 5 x (R+2))/100 = PR/20 + 10P/100 Hence, PR/20 + 10P/100 = PR/20 + 600 => P = 6000 Therefore, the sum invested is Rs. 6000
