👆Ans. B | Explanation:👆
Let store A has x books.
Then, books in store B = (2/5) x
& Books in store C = (2/5) x × 2/5 = 4x/25
According to the question,
x – 4x/25 = 2100
or 21x/25 = 2100
or x = 2500
Now, Number of books in store B = (2/5) x = (2/5) × 2500 = 1000

👆Ans. C | Explanation:👆
According to the question,
Quantity of herb X in 50 g of medicine = (40/100) × 50 = 20 g
Let x g of herb X is further mixed in the medicine.
Then, [(20 + x)/(50 + x)] × 100 = 84
Or 2000 + 100x = 4200 + 84x
Or 16x = 2200
Or x = 2200/16
Or x = 137.5 g

👆Ans. B | Explanation:👆
The hands of a clock move in a circular fashion and hence the minute hand in question can be considered as radius (r) of the circle it draws.
In 60 minutes, the minute hand covers a full circle, i.e. 360°.
Therefore, in 20 minutes, this hand would cover (360°/60) × 20° = 120°
Area swept by the minute hand = [θ/360°] × πr2 (here, r is the radius of the circle)
= [120°/360°] × (22/7) × 14 × 14
= 616/3 square feet.

If A = {a, b, c, d} and B = {b, d, f, h}, then which of the following is true for the sets A and B?
Anonymous Quiz
10%
(a) Sets A and B are equal.
24%
(b) Sets A and B are disjoint.
49%
(c) Sets A and B are equivalent.
17%
(d) None of these.
👍3
👆Ans. C | Explanation:👆
Given, A = {a, b, c, d}, and B = {b, d, f, h}
Equal sets have the exact same elements in them, even though they could be out of order. Equivalent sets have different elements but have the same number of elements. Two sets are called disjoint sets if they don't have any element in common.
Now, n(A) = 4 and n (B) = 4
So, sets A and B are equivalent, because both have the same number of elements.

👆Ans. D | Explanation:👆
Given, Marked price = Rs. 16000
So, Cost Price = (16000/160) × 100 = Rs. 10000
If it is sold at 12% discount, then Selling Price = 16000 × (88/100) = Rs. 14080
Profit on cost price = 14080 - 10000 = Rs. 4080
So, Profit percent = (4080/10000) × 100 = 40.8%

Ans. B | Explanation:
प्रात: 6 बजे से दोपहर 3:15 बजे तक की समयावधि = 9 घंटे 15 मिनट = 555/60 घंटे = 37/4 घंटे
इस घड़ी के 3 मिनट 5 सेकंड = सही घड़ी के 3 मिनट
या इस घड़ी के (37/720) घंटे = सही घड़ी के (1/20) घंटे
तो, इस घड़ी के (37/4) घंटे = सही घड़ी के [(1/20) × (720/37) × (37/4)] घंटे = सही घड़ी के 9 घंटे।
सही समय सुबह 6 बजे के 9 घंटे बाद अर्थात दोपहर 3 बजे होगा।
