    C) 732 cm2
    D) 750 cm2
    E) None of these
    D) 750 cm2
    Explanation:

    Shortcut-
    ᴨr2 = 3850, so r = 35
    now perimeter of rect. = (1/2)*2ᴨr = 110
    so 2(l+30) = 110, so l = 25
    area = 25*30

  7. There are 2 mixtures of milk and water such that mixture P contains 30% water and mixture Q contains 20% water. Equal quantities of both mixtures are taken and put in a bottle. What is the ratio of milk to water in the bottle?

    D) 2 : 7
    E) 9 : 2
    B) 3 : 1
    Explanation:

    Let x litres taken from both, so milk : water in bottle
    70% of x + 80% of x : 30% of x + 20% of x

  8. The person has expenditure of Rs 6,000 in a month with his salary being Rs 10,000. The next month his salary increases by 10% and expenditure by 20%. What is the % change in the his savings?
    A) 6.2% increase
    B) 5.26% decrease
    C) 5.02% increase
    D) 5% decrease
    E) None of these
    D) 5% decrease
    Explanation:

    Savings = 10,000 – 6000 = 4000
    Income becomes = (110/100)*10,000 = 11,000
    Exp. becomes = (120/100)*6,000 = 7,200
    So savings now = 11000 – 7200 = 3800
    So % decrease in savings = (4000-3800)/4000 * 100 = 5%

  9. After getting two successive discounts, an article which was marked at Rs 750 was bought for Rs 540. The first discount was 20%. What is the second discount being given?

    Explanation:

    750*80/100*x/100 = 540
    x = 540*100*100/80*750
    x = 90 then % = 100-90 = 10%

  10. 30 men who can complete a work in 16 days started the work and after working for 6 days, 10 more men joined. In how many days the remaining work will be completed?

    C) 8
    D) 7 1/3
    E) 7 1/2
    E) 7 1/2
    Explanation:

    30 m in 16 days, so (30+10)=40 men in (30*16)/40 = 12 days
    So
    (1/16)*6 + (1/12)*x = 1
    Solve, x = 7.5 days
