1(A)
Radius of the circle (r) = 28 cm.
Length of the wire (circumference) = 2 pi r = 2 pi 28 = 176 cm
Let side of the square be "a" cm.
Perimeter of square(4a) = Circumference of the circle = 176 cm
or, 4a = 176 cm
or, a = 44 cm
Thus, side of the square is 44 cm.
2(D)
Simple Interest, SI = (3875 - 2500) = Rs.1375
Principal, P = Rs. 2500
Time, T = 4 years
R = ?
R = (100×SI)/PT= (100×1375)/2500×4 = 100×1375/10000=13.75%

15th August, 2010 = (2009 years + Period 1.1.2010 to 15.8.2010)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
9 years = (2 leap years + 7 ordinary years) = (2 x 2 + 7 x 1) = 11 odd days 4 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June July Aug.
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15) = 227 days
So 227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) 3 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 4 + 3) = 7 = 0 odd days.
Given day is Sunday.
4(D)
Let C = x.
Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000.
So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000
=> 3x = 36000
=> x = 12000
A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.
A's share = Rs.(35000 x 21/50) = Rs. 14,700.
5(D)
Here M1 = 40, T1 = 8 hours, W1 = 60 and M2 = 32, T2 = 12, W2 = ?
M1 x T1 x W2 = M2 x T2 x W1
So 40 x 8 x W2 = 32 x 12 x 60
or, W2 = 23040/320 = 72
6.(c)
Reduced price = 100 * 0.95 * 0.90 * 0.80 = 68.40
so Single discount = (100 – 68.4)% = 31. 6%
7.(a)
Let the CP be Rs. x, then SP be 0.96x
so 0.96x = 240
X = 250
Now the new SP = 250 * 1.1 = 275
8.(d) 1435 – 1353 = 72 = 6% of CP
=> CP = 1200
9.(c)
Loss % = ((common gain or loss)/10)^2 %
= (20/10)^2 % = 4%
10.(a)
CP of A = 1818/0.9 = 2020
CP of B = 1818/1.01 = 1800
CP of A/CP of B = 2020/1800 = 101/90
