- Question
Three strategies P, Q and R have been initiated for cost cutting in a company producing respectively 20%, 30% and 10% savings. Assuming that they operate independently, what is the net saving achieved ?
Options- A. 49.6%
- B. 50.4%
- C. 33.67%
- D. 66.66%
- Correct Answer
- 49.6%
ExplanationAs these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.
If initial cost is Rs 100, then
20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80
further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56
further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.

Correct Answer: 5.7532
Explanation:
log10(103.10x) = log10 103 + log10(10x)
= 3 + 2.7532
= 5.7532
Correct Answer: 2 1° × 5 2
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 12 sec
Explanation:
Speed of the train = (60 x 5/18) m/sec = 50/3 m/sec
Distance covered in passing the standing person = 200m
Required time taken= =200/(50/3) = 200 x (3/50) = 12 sec
Correct Answer: Rs. 2000
Explanation:
r1 = 5%,
r2 = 8%,
r3 = 10%,
t1 = 2 years
t2 = 3 years,
t3 = 8 - (2 + 3) = 3 years
? Principal = (Interest x 100) / [(r1 x t1) + (r2 x t2) + (r3 x t3 )]
= (1280 x 100) / (5 x 2 + 8 x 3 + 10 x 3)
= 128000/(10 + 24 + 30)
= 128000/64
=Rs. 2000
Correct Answer: (77 x 103)cm3
Explanation:
Volume of the cylinder = ?r2h
= (22/7) x 7 x 7 x 500 = 77000
= (77 x 103) cm3
Correct Answer: 360
Explanation:
Final Price = Initial price + Initial price x 20/100
= Initial price x (1+20/100)
= Rs.300x(1.2)
= Rs.360
Correct Answer: 15 8
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 2 x 3
Explanation:
Given factors
2 x 3 x 7 x 9; 2 x 3 x 9 x 11; 2 x 3 x 4 x 5
? Required HCF = Product of common prime factors having least powers = 2 x 3
Correct Answer: 300
Explanation:
75 + 75% of N = N
? N -3N/4 = 75
? N/4 = 75
? N = (75 x 4) = 300
Correct Answer: 6%
Explanation:
Salt in 6 liter = 5% of 6 = 0.30 liter
Salt in new solution = (0.30/5) x 100% = 6%
