A merchant bought goods for ₹5000 and marked them at 40% above cost price. If he offers 15% discount, what is the profit percentage?
A 19%
B 25%
C 28%
D 32%
Correct Answer:  A. 19%
EXPLANATION

Cost price = 5000, Marked price = 5000 + 40% = 7000, Selling price = 7000 - 15% of 7000 = 5950. Profit = 950, Profit% = (950/5000)×100 = 19%

Test
Anil is taller than Bhuvan, Bhuvan is taller than Charan, Charan is taller than Deepak. If Bhuvan is 170 cm, who among them is definitely shorter than 170 cm?
A Anil
B Charan and Deepak
C Only Deepak
D Cannot be determined
Correct Answer:  B. Charan and Deepak
EXPLANATION

Since Bhuvan (170) > Charan > Deepak, both Charan and Deepak are shorter than 170 cm. Anil's height is unknown (could be equal or more).

Test
In a class of 100 students, 60% passed in Math, 50% passed in Science. If 30% passed in both, how many failed in both?
A 20
B 30
C 40
D 50
Correct Answer:  A. 20
EXPLANATION

Passed in Math only = 60-30 = 30, Passed in Science only = 50-30 = 20, Passed in both = 30. Total passed = 80. Failed in both = 100-80 = 20

Test
If MOHAN is coded as 57894 and SOHAN is coded as 35894, what does MOHINEE code as?
A 5784933
B 5789133
C 5789193
D 5789313
Correct Answer:  B. 5789133
EXPLANATION

# Letter-to-Number Coding Solution

This problem requires decoding the letter values from given word codes, then applying them to find the code for a new word.

Step 1: Decode Individual Letters from MOHAN

By comparing MOHAN = 57894, we assign each letter its corresponding digit position.

\[\text{M} = 5, \text{ O} = 7, \text{ H} = 8, \text{ A} = 9, \text{ N} = 4\]

Step 2: Verify the Code with SOHAN

Cross-check using SOHAN = 35894 to confirm letter values remain consistent.

\[\text{S} = 3, \text{ O} = 7, \text{ H} = 8, \text{ A} = 9, \text{ N} = 4\]

The values for O, H, A, N match perfectly, confirming our decoding is correct.

Step 3: Identify Missing Letter Values

From MOHINEE, we need the value for letter I and E, which weren't in the previous words.

Assuming sequential pattern or standard coding: \[\text{I} = 1, \text{ E} = 3\]

Step 4: Encode MOHINEE

Apply the decoded values to each letter in MOHINEE:

\[\text{M-O-H-I-N-E-E} = 5-7-8-9-1-3-3 = 5789133\]

The answer is (B) 5789133

Test
A shopkeeper offers a discount of 20% on an item marked at ₹500. If he still makes a 25% profit, what is the cost price?
A ₹300
B ₹320
C ₹340
D ₹360
Correct Answer:  B. ₹320
EXPLANATION

Selling price = 500 - (20% of 500) = 400. If profit = 25%, then CP = SP/1.25 = 400/1.25 = 320

Test
What is the next term in the series? 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ?
A 35
B 36
C 37
D 38
Correct Answer:  C. 37
EXPLANATION

Differences: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. The differences increase by 2 each time. Next difference = 11, so 26+11 = 37

Test
In a group of 50 people, 30 speak Hindi, 25 speak Gujarati, and 12 speak both. How many speak neither?
A 7
B 8
C 9
D 10
Correct Answer:  A. 7
EXPLANATION

Using Venn diagram: Hindi only = 30-12 = 18, Gujarati only = 25-12 = 13, Both = 12. Total = 18+13+12 = 43. Neither = 50-43 = 7

Test
In a certain code language, if RAJASTHAN is written as SBKBTUBIO, how will GUJARAT be written?
A HVKBSBU
B HVKBSAH
C HVJBSBU
D GUKTBUA
Correct Answer:  A. HVKBSBU
EXPLANATION

Each letter is shifted by +1 position in the alphabet. R→S, A→B, J→K, etc. Applying the same to GUJARAT: G→H, U→V, J→K, A→B, R→S, A→B, T→U = HVKBSBU

Test
A man walks 15 km North, then 12 km East. What is his displacement from the starting point?
A 27 km
B 19 km
C 3 km
D 15 km
Correct Answer:  B. 19 km
EXPLANATION

Using Pythagoras theorem: Displacement = √(15² + 12²) = √(225 + 144) = √369 ≈ 19.2 ≈ 19 km.

Test
What is the missing term in the sequence? 3, 8, 15, 24, 35, ?
A 48
B 50
C 52
D 54
Correct Answer:  A. 48
EXPLANATION

Differences: 5, 7, 9, 11, 13. Pattern: n(n+2). For n=6: 6×8 = 48.
