Given:

Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP) ratio of a fan = 8 ∶ 9

Formula Used:

Profit Percentage = [(SP - CP) / CP] × 100

Calculation:

Let Cost Price (CP) = 8x

Let Selling Price (SP) = 9x

Profit = SP - CP

⇒ Profit = 9x - 8x

⇒ Profit = x

Profit Percentage = (Profit / CP) × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = (x / 8x) × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = (1 / 8) × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = 12.5%

The profit percentage is 12.5%.

Given:

X ∶ Y = 8 ∶ 5

X - Y = 18

Formula Used:

Let X = 8k and Y = 5k

Calculation:

X - Y = 18

⇒ 8k - 5k = 18

⇒ 3k = 18

⇒ k = 18 / 3

⇒ k = 6

X = 8k = 8 × 6 = 48

Y = 5k = 5 × 6 = 30

X + Y = 48 + 30 = 78

The value of X + Y is 78.

Given:

Umesh's efficiency is 250% of Vikas's efficiency.

Umesh can complete a work in 70 days.

Formula Used:

Work done together = 1/(Umesh's time) + 1/(Vikas's time)

Time taken together = 1/(Work done together)

Calculation:

Let Vikas's efficiency be x.

Umesh's efficiency = 2.5x.

Time taken by Vikas to complete the work alone = (2.5x/x) × 70 = 175 days.

Work done by Umesh in one day = 1/70

Work done by Vikas in one day = 1/175

Work done together in one day = 1/70 + 1/175

⇒ Work done together in one day = 1/70 + 1/175 = (5 + 2)/350 = 7/350 = 1/50

Time taken together = 1/(1/50) = 50 days.

Umesh and Vikas together will take 50 days to complete the work.

Given:

Difference between cost price and selling price = Rs. 204

Loss percentage = 24%

Formula Used:

Loss = Cost Price (CP) × Loss Percentage

Selling Price (SP) = Cost Price (CP) - Loss

Calculation:

Let the Cost Price be CP.

Loss = 24% of CP = 0.24 × CP

Given that the difference between CP and SP is Rs. 204, so

CP - SP = 204

We know that SP = CP - Loss

⇒ SP = CP - 0.24 × CP

⇒ SP = CP(1 - 0.24)

⇒ SP = 0.76 × CP

So, CP - 0.76 × CP = 204

⇒ CP(1 - 0.76) = 204

⇒ CP × 0.24 = 204

⇒ CP = 204 / 0.24

⇒ CP = 850

Therefore, SP = 0.76 × CP

⇒ SP = 0.76 × 850

⇒ SP = 646

The selling price is Rs. 646.

Given:

Ratio of volume of two cubes = 64 ∶ 343

Formula Used:

Volume of a cube = side³

Calculation:

Let the sides of the two cubes be a and b.

Given ratio of volumes: a³ / b³ = 64 / 343

⇒ (a / b)³ = (4 / 7)³ (since 64 = 4³ and 343 = 7³)

⇒ a / b = 4 / 7

The ratio of the sides of the two cubes is 4 ∶ 7.

Given:

W and X can complete a work in 25 days and 75 days respectively.

X completed the remaining work in 15 days.

Formula Used:

Work done by W in 1 day = 1/25

Work done by X in 1 day = 1/75

Total work done = Work done by W + Work done by X

Calculation:

Let W worked for d days.

Work done by W in d days = d × (1/25)

Work done by X in d days = d × (1/75)

Work done by X in remaining 15 days = 15 × (1/75)

Total work done by X = d × (1/75) + 15 × (1/75)

Total work done = Work done by W + Total work done by X

Total work done = d × (1/25) + d × (1/75) + 15 × (1/75)

Since the work is completed, Total work done = 1

⇒ d/25 + d/75 + 15/75 = 1

⇒ d/25 + d/75 + 1/5 = 1

⇒ 3d/75 + d/75 + 1/5 = 1

⇒ (3d + d)/75 + 1/5 = 1

⇒ 4d/75 + 1/5 = 1

⇒ 4d/75 = 1 - 1/5

⇒ 4d/75 = 4/5

⇒ d/75 = 1/5

⇒ d = 75/5

⇒ d = 15

W left the work after 15 days.

Given:

Amount to be divided = Rs. 7700

4 times of A's share is equal to 2 times of B's share which is equal to 6 times of C's share.

Formula Used:

4A = 2B = 6C

Calculation:

Let 4A = 2B = 6C = k

⇒ A = k / 4

⇒ B = k / 2

⇒ C = k / 6

Total amount = A + B + C = 7700

⇒ k/4 + k/2 + k/6 = 7700

⇒ (3k + 6k + 2k) / 12 = 7700

⇒ 11k / 12 = 7700

⇒ 11k = 7700 × 12

⇒ 11k = 92400

⇒ k = 92400 / 11

⇒ k = 8400

Share of B = k / 2

⇒ B = 8400 / 2

⇒ B = 4200

The share of B is Rs. 4200.

Given:

Substitute back into the expression:

⇒ 524 - 101

⇒ 423

Finally, substitute back into the expression:

⇒ 758 - 423

⇒ 335

The value of the expression is 335.

Given:

Runs scored in the first 15 overs = 3.6 runs per over

Target runs = 299

Formula Used:

Total runs needed in the remaining overs = Target runs - Runs scored in the first 15 overs

Runs per over needed = Total runs needed in the remaining overs / Number of remaining overs

Calculation:

Runs scored in the first 15 overs = 3.6 × 15

⇒ Runs scored in the first 15 overs = 54

Runs needed in the remaining 35 overs = 299 - 54

⇒ Runs needed in the remaining 35 overs = 245

Required runs per over in the remaining 35 overs = 245 / 35

⇒ Required runs per over in the remaining 35 overs = 7

The required runs per over in the remaining 35 overs is 7.

Given:

The new price of the camera = Rs. 2,100

The price decreased by 30%

Formula Used:

New Price = Original Price - (30% of Original Price)

Calculation:

Let the original price be x.

30% of x = 0.30 × x

New Price = Original Price - 0.30 × Original Price

⇒ 2100 = x - 0.30x

⇒ 2100 = 0.70x

⇒ x = 2100 / 0.70

⇒ x = 3000

The original price of the camera was Rs. 3000.

Given:

Value to be calculated: $\frac{23}{64} \times \frac{32}{46} \times \frac{44}{220} \div \frac{4}{80}$

Formula Used:

Multiplication and Division of fractions:

$\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \times c}{b \times d}$

$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$

Calculation:

$\frac{23}{64} \times \frac{32}{46} \times \frac{44}{220} \div \frac{4}{80}$

Convert the division to multiplication:

$\frac{23}{64} \times \frac{32}{46} \times \frac{44}{220} \times \frac{80}{4}$

Now, simplify step by step:

$\frac{23 \times 32 \times 44 \times 80}{64 \times 46 \times 220 \times 4}$

Simplify the numerator and denominator:

Numerator: 23 × 32 × 44 × 80 = 258560

Denominator: 64 × 46 × 220 × 4 = 258560

Now divide:

⇒$\frac{258560}{258560}$  = 1

The value is 1.

Given:

Principal (P) = Rs. 8000

Amount (A) = Rs. 21520

Simple Interest (SI) = A - P

Annual rate of interest (R) = Number of years (T)

Formula Used:

Simple Interest formula: SI = P × R × T / 100

Since R = T, we can write SI = P × R² / 100

Calculation:

SI = 21520 - 8000

⇒ SI = 13520

Using the formula: SI = P × R² / 100

13520 = 8000 × R² / 100

⇒ R² = 13520 × 100 / 8000

⇒ R² = 169

⇒ R = √169

⇒ R = 13

The annual rate of interest is 13 percent.

⇒ 840

Now, substitute these values into the equation and simplify:

400 - 840 + 1300

⇒ -440 + 1300

⇒ 860

The value of 5200 ÷ 13 - 420 × 2 + 1300 is 860.

Given:

Ramesh's walking speed = 6 km/hr

Time taken while walking = 1 hour 30 minutes = 1.5 hours

Ramesh's running speed = 8 km/hr

Formula Used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance / Speed

Calculation:

Distance covered while walking = 6 km/hr × 1.5 hours

⇒ Distance = 9 km

Time taken while running = Distance / Running Speed

⇒ Time = 9 km / 8 km/hr

⇒ Time = 1.125 hours

Convert 1.125 hours to minutes:

1 hour = 60 minutes

⇒ 1.125 hours = 1.125 × 60 minutes

⇒ 1.125 hours = 67.5 minutes

The correct time Ramesh will take to cover the same distance while running is 67.5 minutes.

Given:

Formula Used:

Successive Discount Formula: A × (1 - (d₁)/(100)) × (1 - (d₂)/(100))

Calculation:

1. Single discount of 60% on ₹1000:

Discounted Price = ₹1000 × (1 - 0.60)

⇒ ₹1000 × 0.40

⇒ ₹400

2. Two successive discounts of 30% and 40% on ₹1000:

First discount:

Discounted Price after 30% = ₹1000 × (1 - 0.30)

⇒ ₹1000 × 0.70

⇒ ₹700

Second discount:

Discounted Price after additional 40% on ₹700:

Discounted Price = ₹700 × (1 - 0.40)

⇒ ₹700 × 0.60

⇒ ₹420

Difference between the two discounts:

Difference = ₹420 - ₹400

⇒ ₹20

The difference between a discount of 60% on ₹1000 and two successive discounts of 30% and 40% on the same amount is ₹20.

Given:

2/5 of marked price is equal to 3/4 of selling price.

⇒ Discount Percent = [(15S/8 - S) / (15S/8)] × 100

⇒ Discount Percent = [(15S - 8S) / 15S] × 100

⇒ Discount Percent = (7S / 15S) × 100

⇒ Discount Percent = (7 / 15) × 100

⇒ Discount Percent = 46.66%

The discount percent is 46.66 percent.

Given:

Principal (P) = Rs. 10000

Annual Interest Rate (R) = 20%

Time (T) = 1 year

Compounding frequency = Half yearly

Formula Used:

Compound Interest Formula: A = P (1 + (R)/(100n))^nt

Where,

A = Amount

P = Principal

R = Annual Interest Rate

n = Number of times interest applied per time period

t = Number of time periods the money is invested for

Calculation:

Here, n = 2 (since interest is compounded half yearly)

t = 1 year

Substitute the values into the formula:

⇒ A = 10000 (1 + (20)/(100 × 2))^{2 × 1}

⇒ A = 10000 (1 + (20)/(200))²

⇒ A = 10000 (1 + 0.1)²

⇒ A = 10000 (1.1)²

⇒ A = 10000 (1.21)

⇒ A = 12100

The amount to be paid after 1 year is Rs. 12100.

Given:

Average age of 16 teachers = 58 years.

After involving a new teacher, the average rises by 2 years.

Formula Used:

Sum of ages = Average age × Number of teachers

Calculation:

Initial sum of ages of 16 teachers = 58 × 16

⇒ Initial sum of ages = 928 years

New average age = 58 + 2 = 60 years

New total number of teachers = 16 + 1 = 17

New sum of ages of 17 teachers = 60 × 17

⇒ New sum of ages = 1020 years

Age of the new teacher = New sum of ages - Initial sum of ages

⇒ Age of the new teacher = 1020 - 928

⇒ Age of the new teacher = 92 years

The age of the new teacher is 92 years.

Given:

Initial radius of the circle = r

Decrease in radius = 80%

Initial area = πr²

New radius = r - 0.8r = 0.2r

New area = π(0.2r)²

New area = π(0.04r²)

New area = 0.04πr²

Initial area = πr²

Percentage decrease in area = [(πr² - 0.04πr²) / πr²] × 100

Percentage decrease in area = [(1 - 0.04)πr² / πr²] × 100

Percentage decrease in area = 0.96 × 100

Percentage decrease in area = 96%

The percentage decrease in the area of the circle is 96%.

• Example: The children stood agape as the magician pulled a rabbit out of his hat.

The correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Key Points

• Beekeepers are referred to as "bee farmers" or "apiarists."
• The sentence requires the verb in past participle form "called" to indicate that beekeepers are identified by the alternate term "bee farmers."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2: called.

Additional Information

• Option 1 (call): Incorrect because it does not fit the grammatical structure of the sentence.
• Option 3 (calls): Incorrect because it is in present tense and does not match the context.
• Option 4 (calling): Incorrect because it does not convey the intended meaning of being identified as.

The correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Key Points

• Explanation:
• The blank (2) requires a relative pronoun that connects the antecedent "a person" to the description "keeps honey bees in bee hives."
• 'who' is the correct choice as it refers to a person performing an action.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Additional Information

• Option 1: 'that' is incorrect as it is generally used for objects, animals, or groups, not for people in this context.
• Option 3: 'whom' is incorrect as it refers to the object of a verb or preposition, not the subject performing the action.
• Option 4: 'which' is incorrect as it is used for non-human references.

The correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Key Points

• The word 'knowledge' fits the context of the sentence.
• The passage describes a beekeeper as a person who has skills and experience in maintaining bee colonies. Thus, the word 'knowledge' is most appropriate for blank (3).

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1 - 'knowledge.'

Additional Information

• Option 2: Incorrect because 'partake' does not convey the idea of having experience or skills.
• Option 3: Incorrect because 'suspicion' is not relevant to the context.
• Option 4: Incorrect because 'sedition' is unrelated to the passage.

The correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Key Points

• A) Beekeeping involves the maintenance of bee colonies and the extraction of products like honey and wax.
• The passage explicitly mentions that beekeepers have expertise in beekeeping and extracting hive products, indicating that 'products' is the most suitable option for blank (4).
• B) The primary focus of beekeeping is the management of hives to obtain hive products.
• This confirms that 'products' is the most appropriate word for the blank.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: products.

Additional Information

• Option 2 (features): Incorrect because 'features' does not represent the tangible outcomes of beekeeping.
• Option 3 (data): Incorrect because 'data' is unrelated to the physical nature of hive products.
• Option 4 (information): Incorrect because 'information' does not align with the context of extracting hive products.

The correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Key Points

• Beekeeping can be practiced by both literate and illiterate individuals.
• The context suggests that the profession does not require formal education, making 'illiterate' the most appropriate option for blank (5).

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Additional Information

• Option 1: Incorrect because 'dynamite' does not describe an educational status.
• Option 2: Incorrect because 'whimsical' refers to being playful or fanciful, which is irrelevant here.
• Option 3: Incorrect because 'surgical' pertains to precision, not literacy.
