Q:

 The percentage increase in the area of a rectangle, if each of its sides is increased by 20%

A) 22% B) 33%
C) 44% D) 55%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 44%

Explanation:

Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres.

Original area = xy sq.m 

Increased length  = 120100 and Increased breadth = 120100 

 

New area = 120100x*120100y=3625xy m2 

 

The difference between the Original area  and New area  is:  

3625xy-xy

 

1125xy Increase % =1125xyxy*100= 44%

A salesman gets commission on total sales at 9%. If the sale is exceeded Rs.10,000 he gets an additional commission as bonus of 3% on the excess of sales over Rs.10,000. If he gets total commission of Rs.1380, then the bonus he received is:

A) Rs.180 B) Rs.120
C) Rs.480 D) data insufficient
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.120

Commission up to 10000 = 10000x9100 = 900 

 

Again after 10000, 

 

              Commission    :   Bonus 

                           9       :   3 

                         3x        :   x

 

 Therefore,   Bonus = 1380-900×14 = Rs. 120

Q:

Find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when the time is 3.25

A) 47.5 degrees B) 57.5 degrees
C) 45.5 degrees D) 55.5 degrees
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 47.5 degrees

Explanation:

At 3 O'clock, Minute hand is at 12 while the Hour hand is at 3. Again the minute hand has to sweep through ( 30 x 5 ) ie 150° for reaching the figure 5 to show 25 mins. 

Simultaneously the Hour hand will also rotate for 25 mins. Thus starting from the mark, 3 the hour hand will cover an angle = (25 x 30) / 60 = 12.5° 

Hence, Angle between Hour and the Minute hand = ( 60 - 12.5 ) = 47.5°

Q:

Find the missing term in the following series ?

10000, 11000, 9900, 10890, ?, 10781

A) 10423 B) 9801
C) 10241 D) 9712
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9801

Explanation:

Clearly, alternatively we add and subtract 10% of a term to obtain the next term of the series.
Thus, 10000 + (10% of 10000)= 11000;
11000 - (10% of 11000) = 9900;
 9900 + (10% of 9900)  = 10890;
10890 - (10% of 10890) = 9801.
 9801 + (10% of 9801)  = 9801+980 = 10781.
So, missing term = 10890- (10% of 10890)= 9801.
