23. A shopkeeper allows a discount of 10% to its customers and still gains 20% on a product. If the cost price of the product is Rs. 450, then the marked price is: एक दुकानदार अपने ग्राहकों को 10% की छूट देता है और फिर भी एक उत्पाद पर 20% का लाभ कमाता है। यदि उत्पाद का क्रय मूल्य 450 रु. है, तो अंकित मूल्य है:

(A) 500

(B) 540

(D) 640

Answer: (C) 600

Explanation: Given a cost price (CP) of Rs. 450, a 20% gain means the selling price (SP) is Rs. 450×1.20=Rs. 540; since this SP is after a 10% discount, the marked price (MP) must be Rs. 540/0.90=Rs. 600.

24. The mean of a, b, c, d and e is 28. If the mean of a, c and e is 24. then mean of b and d is: a, b, c, d और e का माध्य 28 है। यदि a, c और e का माध्य 24 है, तो b और d का माध्य क्या है?

(A) 31

(B) 32

(D) 34

Answer: (D) 34

Explanation: The sum of a, b, c, d, and e is 28×5=140. The sum of a, c, and e is 24×3=72. Therefore, the sum of b and d is 140−72=68. The mean of b and d is 68/2=34. The sum of (a, b, c, d, e) is 28×5=140. The sum of (a, c, e) is 24×3=72. Subtracting the second sum from the first gives the sum of (b + d) as 140−72=68. Therefore, the mean of b and d is 68/2=34.

25. In a cricket match, a batsman hits a boundary 8 times out of 42 balls he played. The probability that he did not hit a boundary is: एक क्रिकेट मैच में, एक बल्लेबाज ने 42 गेंदों में से 8 बार चौका मारा। इस बात की संभावना है कि उसने चौका नहीं मारा, है :

(A) 4/21

(B) 7/21

(D) 17/21

Answer: (D) 17/21

Explanation: Number of times he did not hit a boundary = 42 – 8 = 34. Probability = 34/42 = 17/21.

26. The arithmetic mean and mode of a data are 24 and 12 respectively, then its median is: किसी डेटा का arithmetic mean और mode 24 और 12 हैं, तो इसका median क्या है?

(A) 18

(B) 20

(D) 25

Answer: (B) 20

Explanation: Mode ≈ 3 Median – 2 Mean.

Given: Mean = 24 Mode = 12

Substitute the values into the formula: 12≈3×Median−2×24 12≈3×Median−48 12+48≈3×Median 60≈3×Median Median≈60/3 Median≈20

Therefore, the median is approximately 20.

(A) 2/12

(B) 5/12

(D) 7/12

Answer: (D) 7/12

(A) 93.75

(B) 113.25

(D) 117.75

Answer: (A) 93.75

Explanation: Time for first part = 100/100 = 1 hr. Time for second part = 150/90 = 5/3 hr. Total distance = 250 km. Total time = 1 + 5/3 = 8/3 hr. Average speed = 250 / (8/3) = 750/8 = 93.75 km/h.

30. The number 0.00273 in the form P/q, where p and q are integers, and q≠0, is: P/q के रूप में संख्या 0.00273 है, जहाँ p और q पूर्णांक हैं, और q≠0 क्या है?

(A) 261/99000

(B) 271/99000

(D) 291/99000

Answer: (B) 271/99000

Explanation: the question implies a repeating decimal like 0.00273 (meaning 0.002737373…), here’s how you’d calculate it:

Let x=0.002737373… Multiply by 1000 to get the repeating part after the decimal: 1000x=2.737373… (Equation 1)

Multiply by 100 to shift the repeating part one cycle: 100000x=273.737373… (Equation 2)

Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2: 100000x−1000x=273.737373…−2.737373… 99000x=271 x=271/99000

32. The sum of length, breadth and height of a cuboid is 20 cm and the length of its diagonal is 10 cm. The surface area of the cuboid is: एक घनाभ की लंबाई, चौड़ाई और ऊँचाई का योग 20 सेमी है और इसके विकर्ण की लंबाई 10 सेमी है। घनाभ का पृष्ठीय क्षेत्रफल है :

(A) 280

(B) 300

(D) 340

Answer: (B) 300

Explanation:

Given (l+b+h)=20 cm and the diagonal square root of ( l2+b2+h2)=10 cm, square the sum (l+b+h)2=l2+b2+h2+2(lb+bh+hl) to get 202=102+Surface Area, which simplifies to 400=100+Surface Area, thus the surface area is 400−100=300 cm2.

33. A rectangular sheet of paper 88 cm (length) and 28 cm (breadth) is rolled along its length and a cylinder is formed. The radius of the cylinder is: 88 सेमी (लंबाई) और 28 सेमी (चौड़ाई) वाली एक आयताकार कागज की शीट को इसकी लंबाई के अनुरूप घुमाया जाता है और एक बेलनाकार आकृति बनाई जाती है। बेलन की त्रिज्या है :

(A) 11

(B) 14

(D) 22

Answer: (B) 14

Explanation: When a rectangular sheet is rolled along its length, the length becomes the circumference of the cylinder’s base, so 2πr=88, leading to r=88/(2×22/7)=14 cm.

34. A shopkeeper allows a discount of 20% to its customers and still gains 10% on a product. If the cost price of the product is Rs. 500, then the marked price is: एक दुकानदार अपने ग्राहकों को 20% की छूट देता है और फिर भी एक उत्पाद पर 10% का लाभ कमाता है। यदि उत्पाद का क्रय मूल्य 500 रुपये है, तो अंकित मूल्य है:

(A) 683.5

(B) 685.5

(D) 689.5

Answer: (C) 687.5

Explanation: Given a cost price (CP) of Rs. 500 and a 10% gain, the selling price (SP) is 500×1.10=Rs. 550; since this SP is after a 20% discount, the marked price (MP) must be Rs. 550/(1−0.20)=Rs. 550/0.80=Rs. 687.5.

35. If the difference of mode and median of a data is 24, then the difference of median and mean is: यदि किसी डेटा के बहुलक और माध्यिका का अंतर 24 है, तो माध्यिका और माध्य का अन्तर क्या है?

(A) 8

(B) 12

(D) 36

Answer: (B) 12

Explanation: Given the empirical relationship linking mean, median, and mode (Mode ≈ 3 Median – 2 Mean), if Mode – Median = 24, then substituting Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean, we get (3 Median – 2 Mean) – Median = 24, which simplifies to 2 Median – 2 Mean = 24, or 2(Median – Mean) = 24, thus Median – Mean = 12.

36. An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to 100° and two interior opposite angles are equal. Then, each of these angles is equal to : किसी त्रिभुज का एक बाह्य कोण 100° के बराबर है तथा दो आंतरिक सम्मुख कोण बराबर हैं, तो इनमें से प्रत्येक कोण बराबर है :

(A) 40°

(B) 50°

(D) 80°

Answer: (B) 50°

Explanation: The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles. If each of these angles is x, then x + x = 100°, so 2x = 100°, and x = 50°.
