The value of an asset increases by 25% per year, and after one year, the value becomes 4,450,000. What was the value of the asset before one year?
A 3,000,000
B 3,500,000

The point (0, -7) lies in:
A First quadrant
B Second quadrant
C On the x-axis
D On the y-axis
Correct Answer: On the y-axis
Explanation:

  • If x = 0 the point lies on the y-axis.
  • If y = 0 the point lies on the x-axis.
  • If both x and y are non-zero, the point lies in one of the four quadrants.
  • Here, the point is (0, -7), where x = 0 and y = - 7.
  • → It lies exactly on the y-axis, not in any quadrant

What is the result of the following expression: 5 + 51 + (- 3) + 7 +(-5.1)?
A 52.9
B 53.9
C 54.9
D 58.9
Correct Answer: 54.9
Explanation:

  • Let's evaluate the expression:
  • 5+51 =56
  • 56+(-3)=56-3 =53
  • 53+7=60
  • 60 + (-5.1) =60 - 5.1 = 54.9

How much time will it take for an amount of Rs. 450 to yield Rs. 81 as interest at 4.5% per annum of simple interest?
A 2 years
B 3 years
C 4 years
D 5 years
Correct Answer: 4 years
Explanation:

  • Let's use the simple interest formula:
  • Simple Interest (SI) = (Principal x Rate x Time)/100
  • Given: Principal (P) = Rs 450
  • SI = Rs 81
  • Rate (R) = 4.5% per annum
  • We need to find Time (T). Rearranging the formula
  • 81 = (450 * 4.5 *T) / 100
  • Multiply both sides by 100:
  • 8100 = 450 * 4.5 * T
  • 8100 = 2025 * T
  • Divide both sides by 2025:
  • T = 8100/2025
  • T = 4
  • The correct answer is: (C) 4 years

A and B finish a job in 12 days. While A, B, and C together can finish it in 8 days. How many days will it take for C alone to finish the job?
A 20 days
B 24 days
C 28 days
D 30 days
Correct Answer: 24 days
Explanation:

  • Work done by A + B in 1 day = 1/12
  • Work done by A+B+C in 1 day = 1/8
  • So, C's 1 day work = (1/8) - (1/12) = (3 - 2) / 24 = 1/24
  • →C alone can finish the job in 24 days.

If 1/5 of the keyboards are not working out of a total of 3,000, how many keyboards are working:
A 600
B 1500
C 2000
D 2400
Correct Answer: 2400
Explanation:

  • To find the number of working keyboards, we need to subtract the number of non-working keyboards from the total.
  • Number of non-working keyboards = 1/5 x 3,000 = 600
  • Number of working keyboards = Total keyboards - Non-working keyboards

=3,000-600

= 2,400

  • The correct answer is: (D) 2400

The sum of three consecutive integers is 33. Find the smallest integer.
A 8
B 10
C 11
D 13
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:

  • Consecutive integers are numbers that follow each other in order, e.g., n, n+1, n+2
  • The sum of three Consecutive integers is written as
  • n + (n+1) + (n+2) = 3n + 3
  • n + (n+1) + (n+2) = 33 \implies 3n + 3 = 33 \implies 3n = 30 \implies n = 10
