Answer & Explanation1. (3)
C.P. of the item = ( 6750 ×100 )/75 = Rs 9000
So, Reqd. S.P. of the item = (9000 × 115)/100=Rs 10350
2. (1)
Length of the rectangle = 112/8 = 14 cm, so perimeter= 44 cm,
Circumference= 132-44=88 cm,
R = (88 × 7 )/(2 ×22) = 14cm
3. (4)
4. 2)
Number = 740 × 35/100 – 34 = 225
2/5 of the number=90
5. (3)
The largest angle of the quadrilateral (6 ×360)/(6+4+3+5) = 120 degrees
Smallest angle of the triangle = 120 × 1/4 = 30 degrees
If second largest angle of the triangle = (x + 10)
So 30+ x+ x+10 = 180 , x = 70 degrees
6. (2)
7. (3)
8. (5)
9. (5) Total ways = 16C3 = 16!/(13!×3!) = 560
Favourable ways = 4C3 + 5C3 = 4!/(3!×1!) + 5!/(3!×2!)
Required probability = 1/40
