The marked price of an article is Rs 1,820 and its selling price is Rs 1,420. Find the discount percentage. (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
To find the discount percentage, we first need to calculate the discount amount, which is the difference between the marked price and the selling price. Then, we divide the discount amount by the marked price and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. Finally, we round the answer to the nearest whole number.
The discount is the difference between the Marked Price and the Selling Price.
\[ \text{Discount} = \text{Marked Price} - \text{Selling Price} \]\[ \text{Discount} = 1820 - 1420 \]\[ \text{Discount} = 400 \]The discount percentage is calculated with respect to the Marked Price.
\[ \text{Discount Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked Price}} \right) \times 100 \]\[ \text{Discount Percentage} = \left( \frac{400}{1820} \right) \times 100 \]\[ \text{Discount Percentage} = 0.21978... \times 100 \]\[ \text{Discount Percentage} = 21.978...\% \]Rounding \(21.978...\%\) to the nearest whole number gives \(22\%\).
Correct Option: C) 22% is the correct discount percentage when rounded to the nearest whole number.
The question asks to identify a port located on the east coast of India from the given options. This requires knowledge of the geographical location of major Indian ports.

The question asks to identify the primary byproduct of mining operations that causes significant pollution. We need to understand the definitions of the given options in the context of mining and metallurgy.
Correct Option: B) slag is the glassy by-product formed during the smelting or refining of metal ores, consisting of non-metallic impurities. It is produced in large quantities and can contain heavy metals and other toxic substances, making it a significant source of pollution in mining and metallurgical operations.
A trader owes a merchant Rs 9,000 due in one year. However, the trader wants to settle the amount after 4 months. If the rate of interest is 6% per annum, then how much money should he pay? (Give your answer correct to the nearest whole number value.)
This problem involves calculating the present value of a debt when it is settled earlier than its due date. The concept used here is that the amount paid earlier should be equivalent to the original debt when compounded for the remaining period at the given interest rate. This is essentially finding the present worth of the future debt.
Identify the given values:
Calculate the time difference (discount period):
The amount is due in 1 year (12 months) but is settled after 4 months. So, the settlement is made \(12 - 4 = 8\) months earlier than the due date.
Convert this time difference to years:
\[ \text{Time (n)} = \frac{8}{12} \text{ years} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ years} \]Calculate the Present Worth (P):
The amount the trader should pay now is the Present Worth (P) such that if this amount is invested for \(\frac{2}{3}\) years at 6% interest, it will accumulate to Rs 9,000.
Using the formula for Simple Interest Amount:
\[ A = P \left(1 + \frac{R \times n}{100}\right) \]Where:
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[ 9000 = P \left(1 + \frac{6 \times \frac{2}{3}}{100}\right) \] \[ 9000 = P \left(1 + \frac{4}{100}\right) \] \[ 9000 = P \left(1 + 0.04\right) \] \[ 9000 = P (1.04) \]Now, solve for \(P\):
\[ P = \frac{9000}{1.04} \] \[ P \approx 8653.846 \]Round to the nearest whole number:
Rounding \(8653.846\) to the nearest whole number gives \(8654\).
B) 8,654
Refer to the following letter-symbol series and answer the question that follows.
(Left) S R ^ * F S V # Y @ Z Y T G B Y S & Z R S V @ ^ C % N (Right)
From left how many such letters are there that are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a letter?
The problem asks us to identify the number of letters in a given series that are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a letter. We need to scan the series from left to right and apply this condition to each element.
S R ^ * F S V # Y @ Z Y T G B Y S & Z R S V @ ^ C % NS R ^ (No)R ^ * (No)^ * F (No)* F S: Here, * is a symbol, F is a letter, and S is a letter. This matches the pattern. (Count: 1)F S V (No)S V # (No)V # Y (No)# Y @ (No)Y @ Z (No)@ Z Y: Here, @ is a symbol, Z is a letter, and Y is a letter. This matches the pattern. (Count: 2)Z Y T (No)Y T G (No)T G B (No)G B Y (No)B Y S (No)Y S & (No)S & Z (No)& Z R: Here, & is a symbol, Z is a letter, and R is a letter. This matches the pattern. (Count: 3)Z R S (No)R S V (No)S V @ (No)V @ ^ (No)@ ^ C (No)^ C % (No)C % N (No)C) 3. There are three letters in the series that are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a letter: F (in *FS), Z (in @ZY), and Z (in &ZR).
A sum of Rs 5,000 is divided into two parts. One part is deposited in bank A at simple interest at 5% per annum, and the other part is deposited in bank B at simple interest at 10% per annum. If the total annual interest received is Rs 325, then the money deposited in bank A was:
We need to find the amount deposited in bank A. We can set up equations based on the simple interest formula for each part of the sum and then combine them using the total interest received.
Correct Option: B) 3,500
