Area of a rectangular field is 300 sq. meter. If length of its diagonal is 25 meter, then the perimeter of this field is -
1. A70 meter
2. B80 meter
3. C90 meter
4. D84 meter
Answer (A)
With l·w=300 and l²+w²=25²=625, (l+w)²=625+2·300=1225, so l+w=35 and perimeter=2(l+w)=70 m.

If the simple interest for 5 years be equal to 20% of the principal amount, then it will be equal to the principal amount -
1. Ain 25 years
2. Bin 20 years
3. Cin 15 years
4. Din 10 years
Answer (A)
SI for 5 years = 20% of principal means rate = 4% p.a.; to make interest equal to the principal (100%) requires 100/4 = 25 years, so A is correct.

2. B11:10:8
3. C22:20:25
4. D22:18:25
Answer (C)
Let z=100, then y=80 (20% less) and x=88 (10% more than y); x:y:z = 88:80:100 = 22:20:25.

In a certain code language, “479” means “fruit is sweet", "248" means "very sweet voice" and "637" means "eat fruit daily". Code for “is” is equal to -
1. A4
2. B7
3. C9
4. D6
Answer (C)
'479'=fruit is sweet and '637'=eat fruit daily share 7→fruit; '479' and '248' share 4→sweet; so in '479' the leftover 9 must code 'is'.

'A' walks 10 m towards East and then 10 m to his right. Then every time turning to his left, he walks 5, 15 and 15 m respectively. How far is he now from his starting point?
1. A10m
2. B15m
3. C20m
4. D5m
Answer (D)
Tracing the path (E10, S10, then left-turns: E5, N15, W15) gives a net displacement of 5 m, so D is correct. Net east = 10+5-15 = 0; net south = 10-15 = -5, distance = 5 m.
