Eesha has a wheat business. She purchases wheat from a local wholesaler of a particular cost per pound. The price of the wheat of her stores is $3 per kg. Her faulty spring balance reads 0.9 kg for a KG. Also in the festival season, she gives a 10% discount on the wheat. She found that she made neither a profit nor a loss in the festival season. At what price did Eesha purchase the wheat from the wholesaler?
A3
B2.5
C2.43
D2.7
Answer: Option C
Explanation:Faulty spring balance reads 0.9 kg for a kg" means that she sells 1 kg for the price of 0.9 kgs,
so she looses 10% of the price because of the faulty spring balance. She looses another 10% because of the discount.
So, she actually sells 1 kg for $3)0.9*0.9=$2.43 and since at that price she made neither a profit nor a loss,
Then Eesha purchase the wheat from the wholesaler for $2.43.

A bag contains 1100 tickets numbered 1, 2, 3, ... 1100. If a ticket is drawn out of it at random, what is the probability that the ticket drawn has the digit 2 appearing on it?
A291/1100
B292/1100
C290/1100
D301/1100
Answer: Option C
Explanation:Numbers which dont have 2 from 1 to 9 = 8 Numbers which dont have 2 from 10 to 99:
Let us take two places _ _. Now left most place is fixed in 8 ways. Units place is filled with 9 ways. Total 72 numbres.
Numbers which dont have 2 from 100 to 999 =_ _ _ = 8 * 9 * 9 = 648 Numbers which dont have 2 from 1000 to 1099 =10_ _ = 9 * 9 = 81 Finally 1100 does not have 2. So 1.
Total number with no 2 in them = 8 + 72 + 648 + 81 + 1= 810 Tickets with 2 in them = 1100 - 810 = 290
Required probability = 290 / 1100

The 4th box which weighs 350 KG is 30% lighter than the 5th box. Find the difference in average weight of the 4 heaviest boxes and the four lightest boxes.
A49
B76
C56

Weight of 5th box=(10/7)*350=500
Average of 4 highest weighted Boxes = (500+350+300+250)/4 = 350
Average of 4 lightest boxes = (350+300+250+200)/4 = 275 Difference = (350-275) = 75
