Q:

Rahul went to purchase a Nokia mobile handset, the shopkeeper told him to pay 20% tax if he asked the bill. Rahul manages to get the discount of 5% on the actual saleprice of the mobile and he paid the shopkeeper Rs. 3325 without tax. Besides he manages to avoid to pay 20% tax on the already discounted price, what is the amount of discount that he has gotten?

A) 750	B) 375
C) 875	D) 525

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 875

Explanation:

CP = 100, SP (with tax) =120

New SP = 100 - 5 = 95

Effective discount = 120 - 95 = 25

So, at SP of 95 ----> discount = 25

and at SP of 3325 -----> discount = $\frac{25}{95} \times 3325 = 875$

Q:

H.C.F of 4 x 27 x 3125, 8 x 9 x 25 x 7 and 16 x 81 x 5 x 11 x 49 is

A) 180	B) 360
C) 540	D) 1260

$4 \times 27 \times 3125 = 2^{2} \times 3^{3} \times 5^{5}$

$8 \times 9 \times 25 \times 7 = 2^{3} \times 3^{2} \times 5^{2} \times 7$

$16 \times 81 \times 5 \times 11 \times 49 = 2^{4} \times 3^{4} \times 5 \times 7^{2} \times 11$

Therefore, H.C.F = $2^{2} \times 3^{2} \times 5$ = 180

$\inline \fn_jvn \therefore$ $\inline \fn_jvn H.C.F =2^{2}\times 3^{2}\times 5=180$
