Q:

By selling an article at Rs.800, a shopkeeper makes a profit of 25%.At what price should he sell the article so as to make a loss of 25%?

A) Rs.720 B) Rs.640
C) Rs.540 D) Rs.480
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.480

Explanation:

SP = Rs.800 ; Profit = 25%

 CP = SP x 100100+P% = 800 x 100100+25 = 640

 

 Now, CP = Rs.640

 

Loss = 25% = 25% of Rs.640 = Rs.160

 

Thus, SP = CP - Loss = Rs.640 - Rs.160 = Rs.480

A) 2/9 B) 1/8
C) 3/8 D) 4/7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/8

Explanation:

125 over 1000 in Simplest Form means 1251000 in its simple fraction form.

 

Now, to get the simplest form of 125/1000, find the HCF or GCD of both numerator and denominator i.e, 125 and 1000.

 

HCF of 125, 1000 = 125

 

Then, divide both numerator and denominator by 125

i.e, 1251251000125 = 18

 

Hence, 18 is the simplest form of 125 over 1000.

Q:

Find the quadratic equations whose roots are the reciprocals of the roots of 2x2+5x+3?

A)  3x2+5x+2=0   

B) 5x2+3x+2=0 

C) 3x2-5x-2=0   

D)  None



A) A B) B
C) C D) D
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) A

Explanation:

The quadratic equation whose roots are reciprocal of 2x2+5x+3=0 can be obtained by replacing x by 1/x.

 

Hence, 2(1/x)(1/x)+ 5(1/x) + 3 = 0

number_puzzle11531377158.jpg image

A) 3 B) 6
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both A & B

Explanation:

The given number puzzle can be soved in two ways.

Logic 1 ::

Row 1  - 2 x 3 = 6 , 6 x 3 = 18

Row 2  - 4 x 5 = 20 , 20 x 5 = 100

Row 3  - 3 x 7 = 21 , 21 x 7 = 147

 

Hence, the missing number could be 3.

 

Logic 2 ::

Row 1 - 6 x (2+1) = 18

Row 2 - 20 x (4+1) = 100

Row 3 - 21 x (6+1) = 147

 

Hence, the missing number could be 6.

 

Therefore, 3 or 6 is the right answer.
