2. The average of 6 consecutive even numbers is 13. What is the

product of the greatest and lowest numbers among them?

a. 144
b. 162
c. 126
d. 90
e. 108

Answer: a

Explanation:

Let the 6 consecutive even numbers be, (a, a+2, a+4, a+6, a+8, a+10)
As, average = 13
So, the sum of 6 consecutive even numbers = 13*6 =78
So, a+ a+2 + a+4 + a+6 + a+8 + a+ 10 = 78
6a + 30 = 78
6a = 78 – 30 = 48
So, a = 48/6 = 8
So, the largest even numbers in these numbers = a+ 10 = 18
And lowest number = a = 8
So, required product = 18* 8 =144

respectively is 24. What is the product of B and D?

a. 384
b. 475
c. 621
d. 625
e. None of these

Answer: c

Explanation:

Let the odd number A, B, C and D be x, (x + 2), (x + 4) and (x + 6)

respectively.
Now, according to the question,
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 4 × 24
⇒ 4x + 12 = 96
⇒ 4x = 84
⇒ x = 21
So, B = 21 + 2 = 23 and D = x + 6 = 21 + 6 = 27
Required answer = B × D = 23 × 27 = 621

Answer: b

Explanation:

Let the average till 14 thinnings be x.

Average after 15thinnings = (X + 2)
Then, 14x + 72 = 15(x + 2)
⇒ X = 42.
Hence average after 15 thinning will be x + 2 = 42 + 2 = 44

scores?
a. 120
b. 111
c. 117
d. Cannot be determined
e. None of these

Answer: b

Explanation:

Let score of B = x
Score of A = x + 10
Score of D = x + 25 = 63 + 30
⇒ x = 68
Score of A = 68 + 10 = 78
Total score of A, B and C = 189
Required Sum (B + C)’s score = 189 – 78 = 111

11. Average of 11 numbers is 71 and the average of first 5 numbers

number is 9 : 7, then find the 6th number.

a. 27
b. 36
c. 45
d. 54
e. None of these

Answer: c
Explanation:

Let the 6th number = 9x, then 7th number = 7x

According to question
11 × 71 = 5 × 73 + 9x + 7x + 4 × 84
⇒ 781 = 365 + 16x + 336
⇒ 16x = 781 – (365 + 336) = 80
⇒ x = 80/16 = 5
Hence, the 6th number = 9x = 9 × 5 = 45

12. The average weight of 16 employees in a company is 63 kg. The

average weight of the first 5 employees is 58 kg and the average
weight of the next 9 employees is 62 kg. If the weight of 15th
employee is 12 kg more than 16th employee, find the weight of the
15th employee.

a. 76 kg
b. 72 kg
c. 86 kg
d. 78 kg
e. 60 kg

Answer: c

Explanation:

Sum of weight of 15th and 16th employees = 16 × 63 – 5 × 58 – 9 × 62 =

160 kg
Let the weight of 16th employee be x kg.
Then, (x + 12) + x = 160
⇒ x = 74
Weight of 15th employee = 74 + 12 = 86 kg
Hence, option C is correct.

13. In a class of 50 students, 42 students scored an average of 95

marks out of 100 in English. The remaining 8 students have scores
differing by 1 mark each. If the average of the class is 92.6, find the
marks of the student who stood second highest among the
remaining 8 students.

a. 83.2
b. 84.4
c. 82.5
d. 81.8
e. 86.5

Answer: c

Explanation:

Total marks of 42 students = 42 × 95 = 3990

Total marks of class = 50 × 92.6 = 4630
Marks of remaining 8 students = 4630 – 3990 = 640
Let the marks of the student who scores second highest be x.
Using the data from the question, we get
(x + 1) + x + (x – 1) + … + (x – 6) = 640
⇒ 8x – 20 = 640
⇒ 8x = 660
⇒ x = 82.5
Hence, option C is correct

results is 92 and that of the last 10 results is 149, then what will be
the 10 result?
a. 0
b. 92
c. 82
d. 111
e. None

Answer: b

Explanation:

Here, Total marks = 19 × 122 = 2318

Marks of First 10 results = 10 × 92 = 920

Marks of Last 10 results = 10 × 149 = 1490

So, marks of 10th result = 1490 + 920 − 2318 = 92

16. Among three numbers, the second is thrice the first and also 6 times the
third. If the average of the three numbers is 63, then the largest number is:

a. 115
b. 126
c. 96
d. 168
e. None

Answer: b

Explanation:
Let, Third no. = x
Then, Second no. = 6x
And, First no. = 2x
Average of the three numbers = (2x + 6x + x)/3 = 9x/3 = 3x.
Since, 3x = 63
⇒ x = 21.
Thus, Largest number = 6x = 6 × 21 = 126.

decreased by Re 1. What was the original expenditure of the class?

a. Rs 693
b. Rs 713
c. Rs 535
d. Rs 854
e. None

Answer: a

Explanation:

Let the original average expenses is Rs x.

∴ According to the question,
77(x-1) – 63x = 77
⇒ 77x-77-63x=77
⇒ 14x= 154 ⇒ x= 11
∴ Original expenditure= 11×63= Rs 693
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

19. The batting average of a cricket player for 64 innings is 62 runs.

His highest score exceeds his lowest score by 180 runs. Excluding
these two innings, the average of remaining innings becomes 60
runs. What is his highest score?

a. 180 runs
b. 209 runs
c. 212 runs
d. 214 runs
e. None

Answer: d

Explanation:

Let the highest and lowest score be L and H respectively.

We are given that the sum of the highest and the lowest score,
H + L = 64 × 62 – 62 × 60
H + L = 62 × 4 = 248 ………….(i)
Given that,
H – L = 180 …………..(ii)

Adding eq.(i) and (ii):

∴ 2H = 248 + 180
∴ H = 214
Hence, the Highest score = 214

between Cost price of chair for Dev and Amit was Rs.2680. Then,
how much Rahul pays to Amit for the chair?

A. RS.2400
B. RS.3400
C. RS.3000
D. RS.2200
E. RS.2100

Answer: A

Explanation:

Let the C.P of chair be 100x.

The, S.P for Amit = C.P for Rahul = 100x + 20% of 100x= 100x+20x= 120x
S.P for Rahul = C.P for Sanjiv = 120 + 30% of 120 = 120x + 36x = 156x
S.P for Sanjay = C.P for Dev = 156x + 50% of 156x = 156x + 78x = 234x
ATQ,
C.P for Dev – C.P for Amit = 2680
So, 234x – 100x = 2680
134x = 2680
So, x = 20
So, Rahul pays 120x = 120 * 20 = Rs.2400 to Amit.

A. RS.2000
B. RS,1800
C. RS.2600
D. RS.2500
E. RS.3500

Answer: C

Explanation:

Let the Cost price of item be 100x

So, after 20% loss, S.P of item = 100x – 20% of 100x = 80x
And, it is given that
80x = 1600
So, x = 20
So, cost price of item = 2000
After 30% profit,
S.P of item = 2000 + 30% of 2000 = 2000+ 600 = Rs.2600

price of the article (in Rs.) was:

A. 250
B. 500
C. 300
D. 400

Answer: B

Explanation:

Let the Cost price of the article be Rs. x.

Then, Selling price = Rs. 0.9x
A.T.Q.:
⇒ 0.9x + 125 = 115% of x
⇒ 0.9x + 125 = (23/20)x
⇒ 18x + 2500 = 23x
⇒ 5x = 2500
⇒ x = Rs. 500 = Cost Price of the article

16. A fruit vendor makes a profit of 18% by selling raspberries at a

certain price. If he charges ₹1 more for each raspberry, he can make
a profit of 38%. Find the selling price at 38% profit.

A. ₹6.0
B. ₹5.9
C. ₹6.9
D. ₹5.0
E. None

Answer: C

Explanation:

Let the cost price of a raspberry be ₹x.

Then, selling price in first condition = (x) + (x) × 18% = x + 0.18x = 1.18x
And selling price in second condition = (x) + (x) × 38% = x + 0.38x = 1.38x
Now, as per question,
Selling price in first condition + ₹1 = Selling price in second condition
⇒ 1.18x + 1 = 1.38x
⇒ 1.38x – 1.18x = 1
⇒ 0.2x = 1
⇒ x = 1/0.2 = 5
Therefore, selling price in second condition = 1.38 × 5 = ₹6.9
17. A shopkeeper sells two watches for 5000. The cost price of 1st
watch is equal to the selling price of 2nd watch. If the first watch is
sold at a loss of 33.33% and the second watch is sold at the gain of
60%. Find the overall profit or loss.

A. Rs 125
B. Rs 150
C. Rs 200
D. Rs 185
E. None

Answer: A

Explanation:

Let the S.P of 1st watch be x then S.P of 2nd watch be 5000 – x
Now, C.P of 1st watch = S.P of 2nd watch = 5000 – x
Loss in 1st watch = 33.33% = 1/3
S.P of 1st watch = (5000 – x) – [(5000 – x) 1/3]
x = (15000 – 3x – 5000 + x)/3
5x = 10000
x = 2000
Now S.P of 2nd watch = 5000- 2000 = 3000
Profit = 60% so, C.P of 2nd watch = 3000 × 100/160 = Rs 1875
Therefore, total C.P = 3000 + 1875 = Rs 4875
Total Profit = 5000 – 4875 = Rs 125

7. Vansh and Tarushi can do a piece of work in 24 days and 40 days

respectively. They started the work, after 8 days Shubham, who can
complete the same work in 20 days joined them. In how much days
can they complete the whole work?

A. 12 days
B. 15 days
C. 16 days
D. 20 days
E. None of these

Answer: A

Explanation:

Let the total amount of the work = 120 units

Amount of the work done by Vansh in one day = 120/24 = 5 units
Amount of the work done by Tarushi in one day = 120/40 = 3 units
Amount of the work done by Shubham in one day = 120/20 = 6 units
Amount work done by Vansh and Tarushi together in 8 days = 8 × 8 = 64
units
Remaining amount of the work = 120 – 64 = 56 units
Time taken by all three to complete the remaining work = 56/14 = 4 days
Required total number of days = 4 + 8 = 12 days
Hence, option A is correct.

8. A and B working alone can do a work in 40 days and 30 days

respectively. They started the work together but B left after
sometime and A finished remaining work in 5 days. Find after how
many days from start B left the work?

A. 15 days
B. 14 days
C. 16 days
D. 12 days
E. 18 days

Answer: A

Explanation:

Assume total work unit=120

A efficiency= 120/40= 3 unit per day
B efficiency= 120/30= 4 unit per day
Remaining work finished by A in last 5 days= 3×5= 15 unit
Rest work done by both A & B= 120-15= 105 unit
So A & B work for days= 105/(3+4)= 15 day
B left after 15 days

10. A water reservoir has two inlets and one outlet. Through the
inlet it can be filled in 3 hours 15 minutes and 3 hours 45 minutes
respectively. It can be emptied completely in 1 hour by the outlet. If
the two inlets are opened at 01 : 00 pm and 02 : 00 pm respectively
and the outlet at 03 : 00 pm, then it will be emptied (approx) after
how much time

A. 1 hr 48 min
B. 2 hr 18 min
C. 2 hr 4 min
D. 2 hr 12 min
E. None of these

Answer: C

Explanation:

Let first inlet, 2nd inlet and outlet be A, B and C respectively.

Now, time taken by inlets to fill the tank is 195 and 225 minutes respectively.
So, let total volume of the reservoir = 195 litres
So first inlet will fill = 1 litre water per minute
and 2nd inlet will fill = (13/15) litre water per minute
and outlet will empty = –(13/4) litre water per minute
According to the question:
Total water filled till 3 : 00 PM = 2 × 60 + (13/15) × 60 = 172 litres
Now pipe C will be opened
Net efficiency when all 3 are opened = 1 + (13/15) – (13/4) = –(83/60) litre
per minute or –83 litres per hour
So, Required Time = (172/83) = 2 hour 4 minutes (approx.)

11. 18 boys and 24 girls can complete a piece of work in 16 days. All
of them started working together but after 12 working days, all girls
and 6 boys stopped working. 12 boys complete the remaining work
in 9 days. How many days will it take to complete the entire job if
only 24 girls have to complete the job?

A. 48 days
B. 24 days
C. 32 days
D. 40 days
E. None of these

Answer: A

Explanation:

Amount of work done by 18 boys and 24 girls in 12 days = 12/16=3/4

Remaining work = 1- 3/4= 1/4
Now 12 boys complete ¼ work in 9 days
Therefore 18 boys can complete the entire work in
9*4*12/18 = 24 days
24 girls have to complete the job= 1/16 – 1/24= 1/48 = 48 days

12. 48 men can do a work in 5 days while 40 women can do the

13. Rahul can do a piece of work in 20 days whereas Rohan can do

the same work in 30 days. Both started the work together and
worked for 6 days with full efficiency and in the next 6 days with
half of their efficiencies. In how many days will the remaining work
be finished if both of them work with their full efficiencies for the
remaining period?

A. 5 days
B. 10 days
C. 3 days
D. 7 days
E. None

Answer: C
Explanation:

Work done in 6 days = (3+2) × 6 = 5×6 = 30 units

Now, next 6 days they work with half of their efficiencies:
Rahul efficiency = 3/2; Rohan efficiency = 1 unit/day
Work done in these 6 days = (3/2 + 1) × 6 = 15 unit
Remaining work = 60 – (30+15) = 15 units
Time Required to do 15 units work with full efficiency= 15/5 = 3 days
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

a. 1320
b. 1330
c. 1340
d. 1350
e. 1360

Let the total population of town B is B

So, total population of town A = 1.50B
Males of town B + females of town B = total population of town B
540 + 720 = B
B = 1260
Total population of A = 1.50 × 1260
= 1890
Number of males are same in both the towns,
Females in town A = 1890 – 540
= 1350

15. A person gives 10% of his salary to his wife and 10% to his
daughter. 50% of the remaining he invest in a scheme and 30% of
the remaining he spends in various expenses. Rest amount he
saves. If he spends Rs. 4500 on various expenses, then find the
difference between the amount he gives to his wife and his saving.

a. Rs. 2250
b. Rs. 6750
c. Rs. 6575
d. Rs. 7560
e. None of these

Answer: b

Explanation:
Let the salary of the person = Rs. 100x, then
Amount given to his wife and his daughter are Rs. 10x and Rs. 10x
respectively.
Amount invested in the scheme = 50% of remaining = 50% of (100x – 10x –
10x) = 50% of 80x = 40x
Amount spent on the various expenses = 30% of remaining = 30% of (80x –
40x) = 30% of 40x = 12x
Amount saved = 40x – 12x = 28x

According to question
12x = Rs. 4500
⇒ 6x ≡ Rs. 2250
Hence, the required difference = Saving – Amount given to his wife = 28x –
10x = 18x = 3 × 6x
= 3 × Rs. 2250 = Rs. 6750

16. In a school in which the total number of students is 1800, 80%

boys and 70% girls attended an event. If in total 75% of the
students attended the event, then what is the number of boys in the
school?
a. 720
b. 800
c. 600
d. 900
e. 1080

Answer: d

Explanation:

Let the number of boys in the school be 100x, then

The number of girls in the school = (1800 – 100x)
According to question
80x + 70% of (1800 – 100x) = 75% of 1800
⇒ 80x – 70x = 5% of 1800
⇒ 10x = 90
⇒x=9
Hence, the number of boys in the school = 100x = 100 × 9 = 900.

c. Rs. 11880
d. Rs. 12960
e. None of these
Answer: d

Explanation:

Investment of Gauri in Mutual funds = 10%

Expenditure on buying groceries = 30% of (100 – 10)% = 30% of 90% = 27%
According to question
10% ≡ Rs. 4800
⇒ 1% ≡ Rs. 480
⇒ 27% ≡ Rs. 480 × 27 = Rs. 12960.

UK and UAE, respectively. M and N form 30% and 50% of the total
production cost. The product is sold at a profit of 20%. Due to
change in the international scenario, the cost of the parts from the
UK and UAE increases by 30% and 22%, respectively. Due to market
conditions, the selling price cannot be increased beyond 10%. What
is the maximum possible profit percentage?

a. 10%
b. 0%
c. 7.5%
d. 12%
e. None of these
Answer: a

Explanation:

Let the cost of the components M and N be Rs. 30 and Rs. 50, respectively.
Then, cost of production = Rs. (30 + 50 + 20), where Rs. 20 contributes to
the other expenses
We assume the total production cost to be Rs. 100.
Since profit is 20%, selling price = Rs. 120
Now, new cost price of component X = Rs. 39
New cost price of component Y = Rs. 61
New production cost (other expenses do not change)
= (39 + 61 + 20) = Rs. 120
New SP = 120 × 1.1 = 132
∴ New profit% = (132 – 120)/120 × 100 = 10%

20. A shopkeeper allows a discount of 10% on a product whose

marked price is Rs 100 and 25% percent on a product whose marked
price is Rs 180. If a customer paid total of Rs 1710 and gets a total
discount of Rs 370 then how many products of marked price Rs 180
he has purchased.

a. 6
b. 10
c. 8
d. 9
e. None

Answer: a
Explanation:

Let he bought x number of product whose marked price is Rs 100 product

and y number of product whose marked price is Rs 180.
Discount on Rs 100 product = Rs 10
S.P of Rs 100 product = Rs 90
Discount on Rs 180 product = 180 × 25/100 = Rs 45
S.P of Rs 180 product = 180 – 45 = Rs 135
According to question,
10x + 45y = 370 —— i
90x + 135y = 1710 —–ii
From i and ii we get
y=6
So, he bought 6 numbers of Rs 180 product.

21. A shopkeeper sells three types of TVs, one at a loss of 15%,

another at a profit of 25% and the third one at a loss of 20%. If the
selling price of all the three TVs is same, find by how much
percentage is their average Cost Price lower than or higher than
their Selling Price. (Approximate)

a. 8.55
b. 7.55
c. 6.55
d. 5.55
e. None

Answer: b

Explanation:
We have to calculate: (average CP – average SP)/average SP.
Here, the selling price is equal for all the three TVs.
Let’s assume the individual selling price of each TV be 100.
So, the average SP for the three TVs is 100.
Now the cost price of the articles
First TV = 100/85% = 117.64
Second TV = 100/125% = 80
Third TV = 100/80% = 125
Now, the average CP of the three TVs = Total cost price/No. of TVs =
322.64/3 = 107.55.
Hence, (average CP – average SP)/average SP = (107.55 – 100)/100 =
7.55%. higher

b) 25 kmph, 35 kmph
c) 30 kmph, 20 kmph
d) 35 kmph, 25 kmph
e) None

Answer: C

Explanation:

Relative speed between A and B= 1200/24

Distance covered by (A+B) in 20 hrs = 50×20 = 1000 km
Since A starts walking after 10 hours of B.
So, Distance covered by B in 10 hrs. = 1200 – 1000 = 200 km
Speed of B = 200/10 = 20 km/hr
Speed of A = 50- 20 = 30 km/hr
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

km/hr. After 30 minutes, cyclist B started from the same place but
with a speed of 10 km/hr. At what time did B overtake A?

a) 8 am
b) 10 am
c) 9 am
d) 9:30 am
e) None

Answer: B

Explanation:

A started his journey at 7.30 a.m. and B at 8 a.m.

Distance covered by A in half an hour (distance covered by a till 8 a.m.) =
speed × time = 8 × 1/2 = 4 Km
Both A and B are moving towards the same direction with the speed of 8
km/hr and 10 km/hr respectively.
⇒Relative speed of B = 10 – 8 = 2kmph
Time taken by B to overtake A= Time taken by B (with relative speed of 2
kmph) to cover 4 km that A has covered from 7.30 am to 8 am
= 4/2= 2 hours i.e.
That means B will overtake A at (8am + 2 hrs.)= 10 a.m.

is the distance between his office and home?

a) 420 km
b) 525 km
c) 630 km
d) 210 km
e) None

Answer: C

Explanation:

Given, Anil goes to office at the speed of 35 km/hr and returns to his home at
30 km/hr.
Therefore, the ratio of speed = 35 : 30 = 7 : 6
Ratio of time = 6 : 7 (reciprocal of ratio of time)
(If the distance is constant, time is reciprocal of the speed)
Sum of ratio = 6 + 7 = 13
Total time taken = 39 hours
Time taken to reach office = 39× 6/13 = 18 hours
Distance between home & office = 35×18 = 630 km

15. A zookeeper counted the heads of the animals in a zoo and

found it to be 80. When he counted the legs of the animals he found
it to be 260. If the zoo had either pigeons or horses, how many
horses were there in the zoo? In the zoo, each horse had four legs
and each pigeon had two legs.

a. 40
b. 30
c. 50
d. 60
e. None of these

Answer: c

Explanation:

Let the number of horses = x

Then the number of pigeons = 80 – x.
Each pigeon has 2 legs and each horse has 4 legs.
Therefore, total number of legs = 4x + 2(80-x) = 260
4x + 160 – 2x = 260
2x = 100
x = 50.

16. There are two types of sugar. One is priced at Rs 62 per kg and
the other is priced at Rs 72 per kg. If the two types are mixed
together, the price of new mixture will be Rs 64.50 per kg. Find the
ratio of the two types of sugar in this new mixture

a. 2:5
b. 3:1
c. 6:7
d. 3:2
e. None of these

Answer: b

Explanation:
Cost Price of 1kg of Type 1 sugar = 6200 p.
Cost Price of 1kg of Type 2 sugar = 7200 p.
Mean Price of 1 kg of mixture = 6450 p.
According to the Rule of Alligation,
(Quantity of Cheaper) : (Quantity of Dearer) = (CP of dearer – Mean Price):
(Mean Price – CP of cheaper)
Therefore, the required ratio = (7200-6450):(6450-6200) = 750:250 = 3:1.

17. A certain quantity of water is mixed with milk priced at Rs 12

per litre. The price of mixture is Rs 8 per litre. Find out the ratio of
water and milk in the new mixture.

a. 3:2
b. 1:2
c. 5:2
d. 2:1
e. None of these

Answer: b

Explanation:

Cost Price of 1 litre of water = Rs 0.

Cost Price of 1 litre of milk = Rs 12.
Mean Price of Mixture = Rs 8.
According to the Rule of Alligation,
(Quantity of Cheaper) :(Quantity of Dearer) = (CP of dearer – Mean Price):
(Mean Price – CP of cheaper)
Therefore, Water : Milk = (12-8):(8-0) = 4:8 = 1:2.

annum would fetch Rs.96.4 more, if the interest was payable half
yearly, then find the sum?

A. Rs. 2,000
B. Rs. 2,500
C. Rs. 3,750
D. Rs. 4,250
E. Rs 4,000

Answer: E

Explanation:

Let the sum is 100%

Interest for 2 years compounds annually
1st years interest = 20%
2nd year interest = 20% + 4% = 24%
Total interest = 20% + 24% = 44%
If the interest was payable half yearly
First six month interest = 10%
Next six month interest = 10% + 1%
Next six month interest = 10% + 2.1%
Last six month interest = 10% + 3.31%
Total interest = 46.41%
Half yearly interest more than annually interest = 46.41%-44% = 2.41%
2.41% = 96.4
1% = 96.4/2.41
100% = 100 x 96.4/2.41
= Rs 4,000
3. A sum of money lent at compound interest for 2 years at 20% per

yearly, then find the sum?

A. Rs. 2,000
B. Rs. 2,500
C. Rs. 3,750
D. Rs. 4,250
E. Rs 4,000

Answer: E

Explanation:

Let the sum is 100%

Interest for 2 years compounds annually
1st years interest = 20%
2nd year interest = 20% + 4% = 24%
Total interest = 20% + 24% = 44%
If the interest was payable half yearly
First six month interest = 10%
Next six month interest = 10% + 1%
Next six month interest = 10% + 2.1%
Last six month interest = 10% + 3.31%
Total interest = 46.41%
Half yearly interest more than annually interest = 46.41%-44% = 2.41%
2.41% = 96.4
1% = 96.4/2.41
100% = 100 x 96.4/2.41
= Rs 4,000
4. The compound interest accrued on an amount at the end of 3
years at the rate of 20% per annum is Rs.5824. What is the
Principal?

A. Rs.8000
B. Rs.9000
C. Rs.7500
D. Rs.10000
E. Rs.15000

Answer: A

Explanation:

Here, given C.I = Rs.5824, T= 3years and R = 20%

Let Principal = 100
1st year interest = 20%
2nd year interest = 20%+4% = 24%
3rd year interest = 20% + 4% + 4.8% = 28.8%
Total interest = 20% +24% + 28.8% = 72.8%
72.8% = 5824

A. Rs 4600
B. Rs 5450
C. Rs 4950
D. Rs 5600
E. Rs 5870

Answer: C

Explanation:
Total amount that sikhar have at the end of 1st year= Rs(15000×1.1)
=Rs 16500
Amount withdrawn at the end of 1st year= Rs 12000
Principal amount for 2nd year on which shikhar will get interest=Rs(16500 -

rectangular table is 209 cm², then what will be the length of the
table?

a. 17 cm
b. 19 cm
c. 13 cm
d. 21 cm
e. None

Answer: b

Explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangular table = 60 cm

Area of the rectangular table = 209 cm2
Let length of the table = x cm
Breadth of the table = y cm
According to question,
⇒ 2(x + y) = 60 cm
⇒ x + y = 30 cm………….(1)
⇒ xy = 209 cm2…………….(2)
Now, we know that-
(x+y)2 = (x−y)2 + 4xy
⇒ (30)2 = (x−y)2 + 4×209
⇒ (x−y)2 = 900−836 = 64
⇒ x−y = 8 ……..(3)
Adding (1) and (3)
⇒ 2x = 38 cm
⇒ x = 19 cm
Length of the table = 19 cm
