Q:

Find value of $\frac{\log \sqrt{27} + \log 8 + l o g \sqrt{1000}}{\log 120}$

A) 1/2	B) 3/2
C) 2	D) 2/3

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3/2

Explanation:

$= \frac{\log \sqrt{3^{3}} + \log 2^{3} + \log \sqrt{10^{3}}}{\log (10 \times 3 \times 2^{2})}$

$= \frac{\log (3^{3})^{\frac{1}{2}} + \log 2^{3} + \log {(10^{3})}^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\log (10 \times 3 \times 2^{2})}$

$= \frac{\frac{1}{2} \log 3^{3} + 3 \log 2 + \frac{1}{2} \log 10^{3}}{\log 10 + \log 3 + \log 2^{2}}$

$= \frac{\frac{3}{2} (\log 3 + 2 \log 2 + \log 10)}{\log 3 + 2 \log 2 + \log 10}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

Q:

The cost price of 40 Magazines is the same as the selling price of 'P' articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of 'P' is:

A) 32	B) 40
C) 16	D) 30

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32

Explanation:

Let C.P. of each Magazine be Rs. 1

C.P. of P articles = Rs. P.

S.P. of P articles = Rs. 40.

Profit = Rs. (40 - P)

Now, Gain% = $\frac{P r o f i t}{C . P} \times 100$ = $\frac{40 - P}{P} \times 100$

Here $\frac{40 - P}{P} \times 100$ = 25

-->P = 32.
