Answer : 1. "9216"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 9216 Explanation: It takes four of those little squares -- each one 1/2 inch on a side -- to cover one square inch. That's because each one is 1/2 x 1/2, or 1/4 of a square inch. In a rectangle that is 48 inches by 48 inches, there are 2304 square inches.(1 ft = 12 inches) Since it takes 4 little squares to cover 1 sq inch, then it would need 2304 x 4 squares (1/2 inch on a side each) to cover a rectangle 4 feet by 4 feet. That is 9,216 of those squares.

Answer : 2. "8 %"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 8 % Explanation: Let the price of 1 litre of diesel be Rs.x and let Karthik initially buy 'y' litres of diesel. Therefore, he would have spent Rs. xy on diesel. When the price of diesel increases by 25%, the new price per litre of diesel is 1.25x. Karthik intends to increase the amount he spends on diesel by 15%.i.e., he is willing to spend xy + 15% of xy = 1.15xy Let the new quantity of diesel that he can get be 'q'.Then, 1.25x x q = 1.15xyOr q = (1.15/1.25)y = 0.92y. As the new quantity that he can buy is 0.92y, he gets 0.08y lesser than what he used to get earlier. Or a reduction of 8%.
