Given:

2 successive discounts of 20% and 30%

Calculations:

Let the Marked price be 100.

SP after 1st discount = 100 - 20 = 80

SP after 2nd discount = 80 - 30% of 80 = 80 - 0.3(80)

= 80 - 24 = 56

So, The Ratio

= 100 ∶ 56

= 25 ∶ 14

∴ The Required ratio is 25 ∶ 14.

Shortcut TrickFormula used:

When 2 successive discounts X and Y are given -

Equivalent discount = (X + Y - XY/100)%

Calculation:

X = 20% and Y = 30%

Equivalent discount = [20 + 30 - (20 × 30)/100]%

= 50 - 6

= 44%

Let MP be 100

Then, after 44% discount

SP = 56

∴ MP : SP = 100 : 56

= 25 : 14

∴ Required ratio is 25 : 14

Given:
Product Price = Rs 2,700
Successive Discounts = 10% and 15%
Single Discount = 25%
Concept Used:
Discount = % of Discount × Product Price
Price After Discount = Product Price – Discount
Calculations:
For first successive discount of 10%,
⇒ Product Price = 2,700 - 10% x 2,700
⇒ Product Price = 2,700 - (10/100) x 2,700
⇒ Product Price = 2700 - 270
⇒ Product Price = Rs 2,430
For second successive discount of 15%,
⇒ Product Price = 2430 - 15% x 2430
⇒ Product Price = 2430 - (15/100) x 2430
⇒ Product Price = 2430 - 364.50
⇒ Product Price = Rs 2065.50
Price after single discount of 25%,
⇒ Product Price = 2700 - 25% x 2700
⇒ Product Price = 2700 - (25/100) x 2700
⇒ Product Price = 2700 - 675
⇒ Product Price = Rs 2025.00
Difference between prices after the discounts = Rs 2065.50 – Rs 2025.00
Difference between prices after the discounts = Rs 40.50
∴ The required difference between the two options is Rs 40.50

Given:

• Smallest six-digit number which is divisible by 4, 8, 12 and 16.

Concept:

• LCM (Lowest Common Multiple)
• Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculation:
LCM of 4, 8, 12 & 16 will be calculated by writing them as the product of their prime factors.

• 4 = 22
• 8 = 23
• 12 = 22 × 3
• 16 = 24

So, LCM (4, 8, 12, 16) = 24 × 3 = 48
The smallest six-digit number is 100000.

By dividing 100000 by 48, we get the remainder 16.
So, we need to add the difference between the Divisor and Remainder to 100000 (Dividend) in order to get the smallest six-digit number divisible by 48.
⇒ 100000 + (48 - 16) = 48 × 2083 + 16 + (48 - 16)
⇒ 100032 = 48 × 2083 + 16 + 32
⇒ 100032 = 48 × 2083 + 48
⇒ 100032 = 48 × 2083 + 48
∴ The smallest six-digit number which is completely divisible by 4, 8, 12 and 16 is 100032.

Given:

Area of Triangle = Area of square

Base of Triangle = 98 cm

Height of Triangle = 36 cm

Concept Used:

Area of Triangle = ½ × Base × Height

Area of Square = Side²

Perimeter of Square = 4 × Side

Calculation:

Area of Triangle = ½ × Base × Height

⇒ ½ × 98 × 36

⇒ 1764 sq. cm

∴ Area of Square = Side²

⇒ Side² = 1764

⇒ Side = √(1764)

⇒ Side = 42 cm

Perimeter of Square = 4 × Side

⇒ 4 × 42

∴ Perimeter is 168 cm

Given:

S.P = 684.25

C.P = 595

Formula used:

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

Profit% = (Profit/C.P) × 100%

Calculation:

∴ Profit % = (684.25 – 595)/595 × 100 = 15%

From Pie chart,
⇒ English teacher = 26% of total number of teacher
⇒ (26/100) × 1650 = 429
⇒ Maths teacher = 14% of total number of teacher
⇒ (14/100) × 1650 = 231
⇒ Physics teacher = 18% of total number of teacher
⇒ (18/100) × 1650 = 297
⇒ Total number of teacher of English, Maths and Physics = 429 + 231 + 297 = 957
∴ Total number of teachers teaching English, Maths and Physics is 957

Formula used:

A = P (1 + r/n)^nt

Calculation:

Let the principal amount of Rs. 100
It is given that amount is compounded half-yearly
⇒n = 2 and t = 1 year

So after 1 year the Amount he will be receiving,

⇒A =

⇒A = 106.09
Effective rate = final amount - intial amount/100
⇒ 106.09 - 100/100  
⇒ 0.0609
The effective rate of annual interest is 0.0609

Given:

The number when divided by 24, 40, and 48 leaves the remainder of 13, 29, and 37, respectively.

Concept used:

If the gap for each number is equal,

Then, the number = LCM - The equal gap

Calculation:

The gap for each number is 24 - 13 = 11, 40 - 29 = 11 and 48 - 37 = 11

So, the LCM of 24, 40, and 48 is = 240

So the number should be

240 - 11 = 229

Sum of the digits will be 2 + 2 + 9 = 13

The Sum of digits of the number is 13.
