Angle between any chord passing through the tangent point and tangent is equal to the angle Subtended by the chord to any point on the other side of circumference.

TRU is a tangent at R and RQ is a chord

∠URQ is an angle in the alternate segment of ∠RPQ

⇒ ∠RPQ = 72°

Similarly, ∠TRS is an angle in the alternate segment of ∠RPS

⇒ ∠RPS = 15°

So, ∠SPQ = ∠RPQ + ∠RPS = 72° + 15° = 87°

⇒ ∠TRS + ∠SRQ + ∠URQ = 180° (liner pair)

⇒ 72° + ∠SRQ + 15° = 180°

⇒ ∠SRQ = 93°

Using the properties sum of angles of quadrilateral,

⇒ ∠RSP ∠SPQ ∠PQR ∠QRS = 360°

⇒ 95° + 87° + ∠PQR + 93° = 360°

⇒ ∠PQR = 360o – 275°

∴ ∠PQR = 85°

Given:

Marked Price = Rs. 1200

First Discount Percent = 15%

Selling Price = Rs. 918

Formula:

Selling Price

Discount

Where, D = Discount, M.P = Marked Price

Calculation:

Discounted price after 15% discount Rs. 1020

Further discount given = Rs. 1020 – Rs. 918 = Rs. 102

Discount% = × 100 = 10%

∴ The required discount percent is 10%.

Given,
Previous income of Aman = Rs. 30, 000 per month
His previous expenditure = Rs. 20, 000 per month
His income increases = Rs. 10, 000 per month
His new expenditure = Rs. 25, 000 per month
As we know,
Savings = Income − Expenditure
And Percentage

Previous savings of Aman = His previous income - His previous expenditure
= Rs. 30, 000 − Rs. 20, 000
= Rs. 10, 000
His new income = Rs. 30, 000 + Rs. 10 , 000 = Rs. 40000
And His new savings = His new income − His new expenditure
= Rs. 40 , 000 − Rs. 25 , 000
= Rs. 15 , 000
Increase in savings = Rs. 15, 000 − Rs. 10, 000 = Rs. 5, 000
Now, percentage increase in saving 

∴ In next month, the savings of Aman increases by 50%.

The given equation is,

Given:



Hence, the correct option is (C).

Given:

(2a + 3b) : (2b + 3c) : (2c + 3a) = 18 : 14 : 13,

a + b + c = 9

Calculation:

Let 2a + 3b = 18k ---- (i)

2b + 3c = 14k ---- (ii)

And 2c + 3a = 13k ---- (iii)

On adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get

5 (a + b + c) = 45k

⇒ (a + b + c) = 9k

But it is given that, a + b + c = 9 ---- (iv)

9k = 9

So, k = 1

So, 2a + 3b = 18 ---- (v)

2b + 3c = 14 ---- (vi)

2c + 3a = 13 ---- (vii)

On subtracting 2 × (iv) from (v), we get

b = 2c

Now put this value in equation (vi), we get

2 × 2c + 3c = 14

⇒ 7c = 14

So, c = 2

So, b = 4

So, from (iv)

a = 3

∴ The required ratio = = 4 : 3 : 6.

As we know,

Single equivalent discount of two given discounts = 

Let be 10% and be 30%

Therefore,

Required Discount =

= 40 - 3

= 37%

• Determine the Marked Price (MP):

  • MP is 24% above CP.
  • So, MP = 100 + (24% of 100) = 124.

• Calculate Revenue from Each Segment:

  • 50% sold at MP:

    • Revenue = 50% of 124 = 62.

  • 25% sold at 30% discount on MP:

    • Selling Price after discount = 124 - (30% of 124) = 124 - 37.2 = 86.8.
    • Revenue = 25% of 86.8 = 21.7.

  • 25% sold at 48% discount on MP:

    • Selling Price after discount = 124 - (48% of 124) = 124 - 59.52 = 64.48.
    • Revenue = 25% of 64.48 = 16.12.

• Total Revenue:

  • Adding up all segments: 62 + 21.7 + 16.12 = 99.82.

• Total Cost:

  • As assumed, CP = 100.

• Profit or Loss:

  • Total Revenue (99.82) - Total Cost (100) = -0.18.
  • This indicates a loss of 0.18%.

The triangles having six components each are DCA and DBA i.e. 2 in number.

DEF is the only triangle having eight components.

ABC is the only triangle having twelve components.

Thus, there are 8 + 10 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 =27 triangles in the figure.

The statement says that the question paper of a pan-India Computer Based Test which was conducted recently had been leaked prior to the exam. As a serious fraud that can have profound implications, the incident needs to be investigated.

But we are not sure yet as to who was responsible for the same.

Therefore, Inference I does not follow.

Cancelling the exam immediately before an enquiry is conducted is an extreme measure and needs to be avoided.

Therefore, Inference II does not follow.

'While' is used when two actions occur simultaneously. In the given sentence, two actions (Bhutia being athletic and his parents not being keen) occur simultaneously.

The given sentence is in the active form of past interrogative tense. The structures for active/passive voices are:
Active: Did + Subject + verb (Ist form) + object.
Passive: Was/Were + Object + verb (IIIrd form) + by + subject.
Passive Voice: Were the date and time remembered by him?

Correct Sentence: "No sooner did I open the door than the rain, heavy and stormy, rushed in making us shiver from head to foot."

• Some conjunctions such as: 'No sooner...than', 'Hardly/scarcely...when', are used in a pair.
• So, in the 2nd part of the sentence, 'than' will be used instead of 'when'.​

The proper sequence is: QSRP

Reason:

• The given part shows the phrase 'according to an engineer', which is an adverb phrase for something that will follow.
• This means that the next part must give a noun clause; or talk about something that is the main point of the sentence.
• This is only shown by Q, which gives the noun clause 'a newly developed air-cooler system'.
• So, Q must be the first part of the correct sequence.

The correct sentence is:

According to an engineer, a newly developed air-cooler system which is based on a principle radically different from that employed in conventional room coolers might hit the market next year.

Ascetic is a man who starves the body for the good of soul.

The correct answer of the given direct form is:

"Jaya told me that she had been waiting for me since 4 pm."

The given sentence is in present perfect continuous tense so the indirect form will be in past perfect continuous tense.

The first person 'I' changes to third person 'she'.

Thus, the option which follows the correct structure (past perfect continuous) is option (A).

Option (B) is in future continuous tense (will be waiting).

Option (C) is in past continuous tense (was waiting).

Option (D) is in present perfect continuous tense (has been waiting).
