model 2 hiking & discounting Section-Wise Topic Notes With Detailed Explanation And Example Questions
(a) 10 %
(b) 2 %
(c) 5 %
(d) 15%
Answer: (c)
Let the cost price be Rs.100.
Marked price = Rs.140
S.P. = ${75 × 140}/100$ = Rs.105
Profit per cent = 5%
Using Rule 8,
Here, r = 40%, $r_1$ = 25%
Profit % = ${r × (100 - r_1)}/100 - r_1$
= ${40 × (100 - 25)}/100 - 25$
= ${40 × 75}/100 - 25$
= $3000/100$ - 25
= 30 - 25 = 5%

Question : 1
The lengths of a train and that of a platform are equal. If with a speed of 90 km/hr the train crosses the platform in one minute, then the length of the train (in metres) is
a) 600
b) 750
c) 900
d) 500
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let, length of train = length of platform = x metre
Speed of train = 90 kmph
= $({90 × 5}/18)$ m/sec.
= 25 m/sec.
Speed of train
= $\text"Length of train and platform"/ \text"Time taken in crossing"$
25 = ${2x}/60$
2x = 25 × 60
$x = {25 × 60}/2$ = 750 metre
Question : 2
A train 'B' speeding with 100 kmph crosses another train C, running in the same direction, in 2 minutes. If the length of the train B and C be 150 metre and 250 metre respectively, what is the speed of the train C (in kmph)?
a) 88
b) 95
c) 110
d) 75
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the speed of train C be x kmph.
Relative speed of B
= (100 – x ) kmph.
Time taken in crossing
= $\text"Length of both trains"/ \text"Relative speed"$
$2/60 = {({150 + 250}/1000)}/{100 – x}$
$1/30 = 2/{5(100 – x)}$
$1/6 = 2/{100 – x}$
100 – x = 12
x = 100 – 12 = 88 kmph.
Question : 3
The sum of two numbers is 36 and their H.C.F. is 4. How many pairs of such numbers are possible ?
a) 1
b) 3
c) 2
d) 4
Answer »Answer: (b)
HCF of two numbers = 4.
Hence, the numbers can be given by 4x and 4y
where x and y are co-prime.
Then, 4x + 4y = 36
4 (x + y) = 36
x + y = 9
Possible pairs satisfying this condition are : (1, 8), (4, 5), (2, 7)
Question : 4
Arranging the following in descending order, we get $√^3{4}, √2, √^6{3}, √^4{5}$
a) $√2>√^6{3}>√^3{4}>√^4{5}$
b) $√^3{4}>√^4{5}>√2>√^6{3}$
c) $√^4{5}>√^3{4}>√^6{3}>√2$
d) $√^6{3}>√^4{5}>√^3{4}>√2$
Answer »Answer: (b)
$√^3{4}, √2, √^6{3}, √^4{5}$
LCM of indices = LCM of 3,6, 4 and 2 = 12
$√^3{4}=(4)^{1/3}=(4)^{1/12}=√^12{4^4}=√^12{256}$
$√2=(2)^{1/2}=√^12{2^6}=√^12{64}$
$√^6{3}=√^12{3^2}=√^12{9}$
$√^4{5}=√^12{5^3}=√^12{125}$
Clearly,$√^3{4}>√^4{5}>√2>√^6{3}$
Question : 5
The compound interest on a certain sum of money at 5% per annum for 2 years is Rs.246. The simple interest on the same sum for 3 years at 6% per annum is
a) Rs.432
b) Rs.435
c) Rs.430
d) Rs.450
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1,
C.I. = P$[(1 + R/100)^T - 1]$
246 = P$[(1 + 5/100)^2 - 1]$
246 = P$[(21/20)^2 - 1]$
246 = P$({441 - 400}/400)$
246 = ${41P}/400$
P = ${246 × 400}/41$ = Rs.2400
SI = $\text"Principal × Time × Rate"/100$
= ${2400 × 3 × 6}/100$ = Rs.432
