Q:

The length of a rectangle is halved, while its breadth is tripled. What is the percentage change in area?

A) 25% increase B) 50% increase
C) 50% decrease D) 75% decrease
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50% increase

Explanation:

Let original length = x and original breadth = y.

Original area = xy.

 

New length = x/2 and New breadth = 3y.

New area = (x/2 * 3y) = (3/2 )xy

 

Therefore,  Increase % = [(1/2)xy * (1/xy) * 100] % = 50%

Q:

When the price of rice decrease by 10%, a girl could buy 1 kg more for Rs. 270. Then, the original price of the rice per kg is

A) Rs. 36 B) Rs. 30
C) Rs. 28 D) Rs. 40
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 30

Explanation:

From the given data,

When the price of rice is decreased by 10%, the value of Rs. 270 would become

270 x 100/90 = 300

Now, the value 270 becomes 300

And given, the girl could buy 1 kg extra for that value

Change in value = 300 - 270 = Rs. 30

 

Therefore, 1 kg extra rice she can get for Rs. 30

 

=> The original price of rice = Rs. 30/kg.

 

As she gets only 9 kgs for Rs. 270 before 10% discount, now after discount she gets 10 kgs instead of 9 kgs for Rs. 270.

Q:

The true discount on a bill due 9 months hence at 12% per annum is Rs 540. Find the amount of the bill and its present worth?

A) 1600 B) 7000
C) 6000 D) 6500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 6000

Explanation:

Let amount be Rs.x then,  

 [X * R * T] / [100 + (R * T)] = T.D  

=> [x * 12 * (3/4)] / [100+(12 * 3/4)] =540  

=> x = 6540  

Amount = Rs.6540   

P.W = Rs.(6540 -540) = Rs.6000
