A. 200 kg B. 170 kg C. 175 kg D. 1
Ans. (A) : Total weight of sugar = 423 kg
Weight of sugar sold in 1 day = 42 kg
Weight of sugar sold in 6 days = 42 * 6 = 252 kg
so, weight of sugar left = 423 kg - 252 kg = 171 kg
171 kg when rounded off to nearest hundred gives 200 kg

(b) Find the ratio of total cars sold in February to the total number of cars sold in 5 months.
(a) (b)
A. 8000 12:49
B. 8000 17:50
C. 7500 17:50
D. 7500 12:49
Ans. (D) : (a) Number of cars sold by Showroom P in January, March and April together
= 6000 + 7500 + 4500 = 18000
Number of cars sold by Showroom Q in January, March and April together
= 4500 + 12000 + 9000 = 25500
Required difference = 25500 - 18000 = 7500
(b) Total cars sold in February = 10500 + 7500 = 18000
Total number of cars sold in 5 months = 6000 + 4500 + 10500 + 7500 + 7500 + 12000 + 4500 + 9000 + 6000 +6000 = 73500
Required ratio = 18000 / 73500 = 12 /49 i.e 12 ; 49

A. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
B. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are false.
C. Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.
D. Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.
Ans. (A) : Statement 1: The largest 5-digit number having three different digits is 99987.
Statement 2 : let the whole number be x.
According to question,
( x + 10 ) + ( 10 - x ) = x + 10 +10 - x = 20
so, both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
