Let the population of a city be x

decreased by

.

decrease

= 12%

Given:

The successive discount are 40% and 20%.

Formula:

Successive discount = X + Y - (XY/100)

Where,

X = First discount

Y = Second discount

Successive discount = X + Y - (XY/100) 

X = 40%, Y = 20%

= 40 + 20 - (800/100)

= 52%

∴ The single equivalent discount is 52%.

Given:

Group of 8 men and 7 women.

According to the formula,

So,

Total amount of lemon drinks contain by bucket = 20 litres = (20 x 1000)ml = 20000 ml

Aneesh has sold 45 small glasses.

The total amount of lemon drinks contain in a small glass = 250 ml

Total amount sold in small glasses = (45 x 250) = 11250ml

He has sold 21 large glasses. The total amount of lemon drinks contain in a large glass = 400 ml

Total amount sold in large glasses = (21 x 400) ml = 8400 ml

Total amount of lemon drinks sold = (11250 + 8400)ml = 19650 ml 

The remaining amount of lemon drinks = (20000 - 19650) ml = 350 ml 

Given,

of

= 41/25

Numbers that are divisible by 7 between 244 and 332,

⇒ 245, 252.........329

Using AP:

an = a + (n - 1)d

329 = 245 + (n - 1) × 7

n = 13

∴ There are 13 whole numbers between 244 and 332 which are exactly divisible by 7.

Given: (585)³ × (1197)⁹⁹⁹ × 2188 is divided by 23.

Calculation:

Individual remainder When 585 is divided by 23, remainder will be 10.

When 1197 is divided by 23, remainder will be 1.

When 2188 is divided by 23, remainder will be 3.

Using remainder theorem,

(585)³ × (1197)⁹⁹⁹ × (2188/23)

=

=

= 3000/23, remainder will be 10

∴ When dividing 3000 by 23, remainder will be 10.

Let's assume the side is 100 cm

100 cm is read as 103 cm.

A₁ = (100 x 100) cm² and A₂ = (103 x 103) cm².

Difference in Area between A₁ and A₂

= (103 + 100) x (103 - 100)

= 203 x 3

= 609

Percentage error

Given:

Radii of two cylinder are in the ratio = 3 : 4

Heights of two cylinder are in the ratio = 5 : 7

r₁ = 3, r₂ = 4, h₁ = 5 and h₂ = 7

Volume of first cylinder = V₁

Volume of second cylinder = V₂

∴ V₁ : V₂ = 45 : 112

An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.

'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.

• Option (A) is incorrect as 'The' is inappropriate since it is used as a definite article for something previously mentioned. Such that we are sure about the subject's details.
• Option (C) is incorrect as 'One' sounds grammatically weak for the above sentence and it signifies a number.
• Option (B) is incorrect as 'An' cannot be used with a word having a consonant at the beginning and having a consonant sound. We use a with a singular noun to say something about all things of that kind.

Correct sentence: Maya is an analyst.

Option (B) is the correct answer because 'an' is an indefinite article that is used before a non-specific singular noun starting with a vowel sound.

Option (A) is incorrect because 'a' can only be used before non-specific nouns that start with a consonant.

Option (C) is incorrect because this sentence requires an indefinite article as we do not know if Maya is a specific analyst and 'the' is a definite article.

Option (D) is incorrect because it would be grammatically incorrect if used in the sentence.
