Prerna has Rs. $5000$. She bought $2$ boxes of chocolates for Rs. $52.98$ each, $3$ packets of chips for Rs. $12.98$ each and $2$ books for Rs. $300.05$ each. How much money left with her?

  1. Rs. $4255$
  2. Rs. $4750$
  3. Rs. $4000$
  4. Rs. $3875$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Total expenditure $=Rs. ((2\times 52.98)+(3\times 12.98)+(2\times 300.05))$
$=Rs. (105.96+38.94+600.10)=Rs. 745$
Amount of money left with her$=Rs. (5000-745)=Rs. 4255$.

Mohan bought $500$ g of cabbage, $250$ g of onions, $750$ g of potatoes, $600$ g of apples.
Calculate total weight in kilograms.

  1. $2100$kg
  2. $21.00$kg
  3. $2.100$kg
  4. $0.2100$kg
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Weight of cabbage is $500$ gm

Weight of onions is $250$ gm

Weight of potatoes is $750$ gm

Weight of apples is $600$ gm

Total weight of fruits and vegetables in grams is:

$500+250+750+600=2100$ gm

We know that $1$ kg $=1000$ gm

Therefore, $2100$ gm can be converted in kgs as follows:

$\dfrac {2100}{1000}=2.100$ kg

Hence, the total weight is $2.1$ kg.

$1\ km\ 250\  m =....................km$
Fill in the blank by chosing correct option from the following options

  1. $10.360$
  2. $10250$
  3. $1.250$
  4. $10.625$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

We know that $1\ m$=$1000\ km$.


Now, let us convert $250\ m$ in kms by dividing it by $1000$ as follows:

$\dfrac {250}{1000}=0.25$

Therefore, $250\ m$=$0.25\ km$

Thus we have:

$1\ km$ $250\ m$=$(1+0.25)\ km$=$1.25\ km$

Hence, $1\ km$ $250\ m$=$1.25\ km$

The cost of 1kg of sugar is Rs.18.What is cost of 250gms of sugar?

  1. $Rs.9$
  2. $Rs.4.5$
  3. $Rs.8$
  4. $Rs.5.5$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

We know that $1$kg=$1000$gm.


It is given that the cost of $1$kg sugar is Rs.$18$ which means that the cost of $1000$g sugar is Rs.$18$ then cost of one gram sugar will be:


$\dfrac {18}{1000}=0.018$

Therefore, $1$gm sugar costs Rs.$0.018$.

Now, the cost of $250$gms of sugar will be as follows:

Cost$\times$number of grams$=0.018\times 250=4.5$

Hence, the cost of $250$gms of sugar is Rs.$4.5$.

How much pure alcohol should be added to $400 ml$ of strength $15\%$ to make its strength $32\%$?

  1. $50 ml$
  2. $75 ml$
  3. $100 ml$
  4. $150 ml$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The amount of alcohol in $400ml$ solution of $15\%$ strength

$=400\times \cfrac { 15 }{ 100 } ml=60ml$

Let the required amount of alcohol to be added $=x$ ml.
It will increase the amount of the solution by $x$ ml.

$\therefore $ The amount of alcohol now $=(60+x)ml$
and the amount of the solution$=(400+x)ml$.
Then, the strength $=32\%=\cfrac { 60+x }{ 400+x } =\cfrac { 32 }{ 100 }$

$\Rightarrow 25x+1500=3200+8x\ \Rightarrow 17x=1700\ \Rightarrow x=100$.
So, the required amount of pure alcohol to be added $=100 ml$.
