Answer : 1. "14.28 % profit"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 14.28 % profit Explanation: Let 1kg of Rs. 100 then 840gm is of Rs. 84.Now (label on can 1kg but contains 840kg ) so for customer it is of Rs. 100 and further gives 4% discount [he sells his article on 4% loss on cost price.] So now S.P = Rs. 96But actually it contains 840 gm so C.P for shopkeeper = Rs. 84S.P = Rs. 96C.P = Rs. 84Profit% = {(S.P-C.P)/C.P}x100{(96-84)/84} x 100 = 14.28571429% PROFIT.

Answer : 1. "29"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 29 Explanation: Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4 According to the question, Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last two odd numbers is 396 i.e, x+3 and x-3 ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396⇒ 12x = 396⇒ x = 33 Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.
Q: Two trains are running with speeds 30 kmph and 58 kmph respectively in the same direction. A man in the slower train passes the faster train in 18 seconds. Find the length of the faster train? 1942 05b5cc67ee4d2b4197774c23f

Answer : 4. "140 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 140 mts Explanation: Speeds of two trains = 30 kmph and 58 kmph => Relative speed = 58 - 30 = 28 kmph = 28 x 5/18 m/s = 70/9 m/s Given a man takes time to cross length of faster train = 18 sec Now, required Length of faster train = speed x time = 70/9 x 18 = 140 mts.

Answer : 4. "0.375 & 0.1"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 0.375 & 0.1 Explanation: 3/8 as a Decimal : In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple. Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125 => 3 x 1258 x 125 = 3751000 = 0.375 1/10 as a Decimal : 1 divided into 10 parts of each 0.1. Therefore, 3/8 = 0.375 and 1/10 = 0.1 in decimals.

Answer : 2. "7/15"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 7/15 Explanation: Given total students in the class = 60Students who are taking Economics = 24 andStudents who are taking Calculus = 32Students who are taking both subjects = 60-(24 + 32) = 60 - 56 = 4Students who are taking calculus only = 32 - 4 = 28probability that a randomly chosen student from this group is taking only the Calculus class = 28/60 = 7/15.
Q: What is the angle made by the hour hand and the minute hand, if the clock shows 9:15 pm ? 1942 05b5cc6d2e4d2b4197774e410

Answer : 2. "172.5 degrees"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 172.5 degrees Explanation: The minute hand angle is the easiest since an hour (i.e. 60 minutes) corresponds to the entire 360 degrees, each minute must correspond to 6 degrees. So just multiply the number of minutes in the time by 6 to get the number of degrees for the minute hand. Here 15 minutes corresponds to 15 x 6 = 90 degrees Next, you have to figure out the angle of the hour hand. Since there are 12 hours in the entire 360 degrees, each hour corresponds to 30 degrees. But unless the time is EXACTLY something o'clock, you have to write the time as a fractional number of hours rather than as hours and minutes.Here the time is 9:15 which is (9 + 15/60) = 37/4 hours. Since each hour corresponds to 30 degrees, we multiply 30 to get (37/4)(30) = 277.5 degrees. Since the hour hand is at 277.5 degrees and the minute hand is at 90 degrees, we can subtract to get the angle of separation. 277.5 - 90 = 187.5 =~ 360 - 187.5 = 172.5 degrees.

Answer : 3. "decrease by 4%"
Explanation :
Answer: C) decrease by 4% Explanation: Here, x = 20 and y = - 20Therefore, the net % change in value=x + y + xy100 %= 20 + -20 + 20 × -20100% or - 4% Since the sign is negative, there is a decrease in value by 4%.
