The perimeter of a rectangle is 48 cm. If its length is twice its breadth, what is the area?
Answer: C
Let breadth = b, length = 2b. Perimeter = 2(2b + b) = 6b = 48. So b = 8, length = 16. Area = 16 × 8 = 128 cm²
Q.22Medium
If a number is divisible by both 4 and 6, what is the smallest such number greater than 100?
Answer: B
LCM of 4 and 6 = 12. Multiples of 12: 108 (yes), 120 (yes). 108 is the smallest, but checking: 4108=27, 6108=18. Actually 108 works. But let's verify options: 108 = 12×9, 120 = 12×10. First number >100 divisible by LCM(4,6)=12 is 108, then 120. If 108 works, it's the answer, but 108 not in traditional SSC answers. Actually 108 IS divisible by both. Hmm, but option B is 120. Let me recheck: LCM(4,6)=12. Numbers >100: 108, 120, 132. 108 is correct but checking: maybe the question wants LCM interpretation differently. Standard answer would be 108. But if forced to choose from given options and 108 is option A, then answer is A=108.

What is the compound interest on Rs. 8000 for 1.5 years at 10% per annum, compounded half-yearly?
Answer: A
Rate per half-year = 5%. Number of half-years = 3. Amount = 8000(1.05)³ = 8000 × 1.157625 = 9261. CI = 9261 - 8000 = 1261
Q.29Medium

Q.34Medium
If x³ = 729, what is the value of x?
Answer: C
x = ∛729 = 9 (since 9 × 9 × 9 = 729)
Q.35Medium
Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 hours and 30 hours respectively. If both pipes are opened together with pipe C which empties the tank in 60 hours, how long will it take to fill the tank?
Answer: B
Rate of A = 201, Rate of B = 301, Rate of C = -601. Combined rate = 201 + 301 - 601 = 603 + 602 - 601 = 604 = 151. Time = 15 hours.
Q.36Medium
If the length of a rectangle is increased by 20% and breadth is decreased by 10%, what is the percentage change in area?
