A) 0 B) 37.5
C) 27 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 37.5

Explanation:

Angle between hands of a clock

 

When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at M minutes past H 'o clock

 

=> 30H-M5+M2 degrees

 

Here H = 4, M = 15 and the minute hand is behind the hour hand.

 

Hence the angle

 

 = 30[4-(15/5)]+15/2 = 30(1)+7.5 = 37.5 degrees

A) 40% is better B) 70% is better
C) Both are same D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 70% is better

Then 100 x 70/100 = 70
=> price after discount = 100-70 = Rs.30

2nd CASE:

Then 100 x 40/100 = 40
=> price after discount = 100-40 = Rs.60
then
60 x 30/100 = 18
=> price after 2 consequent discount = 60-18 = Rs.42

=>from 1 and 2 cases, 70% discount is better.
