Meena decides to buy a laptop by paying Rs. $2600$ at $12\%$ simple interest p.a. for $24$ months. The company charges a processing fee of $1\%$ for this scheme. Calculate the selling price of the laptop.

  1. Rs. $45{,}882$
  2. Rs. $39{,}264$
  3. Rs. $48{,}629$
  4. Rs. $42{,}162$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$P _{total}=Rs.2600+1\%\ of\ 2600=Rs.2626$

$\cfrac { P _{total}\times r\times t }{ 100 } $
$\cfrac { 2626\times 12\times 2 }{ 100 }=630.24 $
S.P amount $=S.I+P _{total}=630.24+2626=Rs.3256.24$

Multiple choice maths angles in our surroundings measuring and drawing angles angles in a clock checking angles between hands of a clock

A circular paper is divided into $4$ equal parts by cutting it through two diameters. Then the central angle of each part is equal to:

  1. $45^\circ$
  2. $90^\circ$
  3. $60^\circ$
  4. $30^\circ$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Central angle $=360^{\circ}$

Now circular piece of paper is divided in four equal parts .
Let measure of central angle $=x$
$\ \Rightarrow x+x+x+x={ 360 }^{ \circ  }\ \Rightarrow 4x={ 360 }^{ \circ  }\ \Rightarrow x=\dfrac { { 360 }^{ \circ  } }{ 4 } \ \Rightarrow x={ 90 }^{ \circ  }$
So option $B$ is correct.

Explanation

Central angle $=360^{\circ}$

Now park is divided in four equal parts.

Let measure of central angle $=x$
$\ \Rightarrow x+x+x+x+x+x={ 360 }^{ \circ  }\ \Rightarrow 6x={ 360 }^{ \circ  }\ \Rightarrow x=\dfrac { { 360 }^{ \circ  } }{ 6 } \ \Rightarrow x={ 60 }^{ \circ  }$

So option $A$ is correct.

The 30 members of a club decided to playa badminton singles tournament. Every time a member loses a game he is out of tournament. There is no ties. What is the minimum number of matches that must be played to determine the winner?

  1. 15

  2. 29

  3. 61

  4. 435
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Clearly, every member except one (i.e. the winner) must lose one game to decide the winner. Thus, minimum number of matches to be played = 30 - 1 = 29.

Each  section of soccer stadium has 44 rows with 22 sets in first row, 23 in the second row, 24 in the third row, and so on. How many seats are there in row 44.

  1. 65

  2. 1914

  3. 43

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

This is an arithmetic progression where a = 22 and d = 1. The number of seats in row n is a + (n - 1)d. For row 44: 22 + (44 - 1) * 1 = 22 + 43 = 65.

The number of all three digit even number such that if $3$ is one of the digits, then next digit is $5$, is 

  1. $359$
  2. $360$
  3. $365$
  4. $380$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
We need even numbers so the last digit must be $0, 2, 4, 6, 8$. So $5$ possibilities
Now the ten's place can be any number between $0$ to $9$ except $3$ because in that case, the $3$ is to be followed by $5$ in the units place then it won't be an even no., so there are $9$ possibilities.
Now in hundred's place can be anything between $1$ to $9$ except $3$ because if $3$ is present then the next digit must be $5$ so there are $8$ possibilities.
Now if there is $3$ in hundred's place then $5$ will be in ten's place and the numbers must be $350, 352, 354, 356, 358$ which will be treated seperately. So $5$ possibilities
Therefore, 
Total no. of even numbers $= 8 \times 9 \times 5 + 5 = 365$

Multiple choice telescopic summation for infinte series binomial theorem, sequence and series maths

If y= -1  then the value of 
$\displaystyle 1+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}+\frac{1}{y^{3}}+\frac{1}{y^{4}}+\frac{1}{y^{5}}$ is

  1. -1

  2. 0

  3. 1

  4. 2
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

$1+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}+\frac{1}{y^{3}}+\frac{1}{y^{4}}+\frac{1}{y^{5}}$

Put the value y=-1
Then $1+\frac{1}{-1}+\frac{1}{(-1)^{2}}+\frac{1}{(-1)^{3}}+\frac{1}{(-1)^{4}}+\frac{1}{(-1)^{5}}= 1-1+1-1+1-1= 3-3=0$
