1. A trader marks up the price of goods he sells by 50% and gives a discount of 20%. Besides this, he also weighs the goods by 20% less. What is the net profit he gets?
A. 20%
B. 25%
C. 40%
D. 50%
SHOW ANSWER
Explanation: Given trader marks up his goods by 50% i.e., marked price is 150
also given he gave a discount of 20% on 150 rupees
150 x (20/100)=30 discount
SP=150- 30= 120
x=(120/80)*100
x=150
He gains a profit of “50%”

5. Statement I: Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.
Statement II: The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
1. Both Statement and Statement Il are true
2. Both Statement and Statement Il are false
3. Statement is correct but Statement Il is false
4. Statement is incorrect but Statement Il is true
SHOW ANSWER
Explanation: Triangle Properties
• Sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.
• Sum of all exterior angles of any triangle is equal to 360°.
• Sum of the length of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
• In the same way, the difference between the two sides of a triangle is less than the length of the third side.
• Exterior angle of a triangle is always equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles. Also known as an exterior angle property.
∠ACD is exterior angle to ∆ABC.
According to the exterior angle property, ∠ACD = ∠CAB + ∠ABC.
• Side opposite the greater angle is the longest side of all the three sides of a triangle.
• Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles of both triangles are congruent and lengths of their sides are proportional.
• Perimeter of a triangle = sum of all its three sides.

6. The product of the ages of Sagun and Srishti is 240. If twice the age of Srishti is more than Sagun’s age by 4 years, then what is Srishti’s age?
1.15
2.12
3. 10
4. 20
SHOW ANSWER
Explanation: x * y = 240 (Equation 1)
2y = x + 4
∴ x = 2y – 4
put above value of x in (Equation 1)
(2y – 4) * y = 240
2y^2 – 4y – 240 = 0
2y^2 – 24y + 20y – 240 = 0
2y(y – 12) + 20(y – 12) = 0
(y – 12)(2y + 20) = 0
y – 12 = 0 OR y = -20 / 2 = -10
y = 12 OR y = -10
Consider +ve age= 12
Or Put from y option in 2y^2 – 4y=240

1. C < A < B
2. B < C < A
3. B < A < C
4. C < B < A
SHOW ANSWER

8. If 30% of A=0.25 of B=1/5 of C, then which of the following is true about A:B:C?
1. 10:11:12
2. 10:15:12
3. 10:12:15
4. 10:11:15
SHOW ANSWER
Explanation: 30% of A = 25% of B
30 A = 25 B
A : B = 25 : 30 = 5 : 6
Again, 25% of B = 20% of C
25 B = 20C
5B = 4C
B : C = 4 : 5
A : B = 5 : 6
B : C = 4 : 5
∴ A : B : C = 5 × 4 : 4 × 6 : 6 × 5 = 20 : 24 : 30 = 10 : 12 : 15
