Numerical Ability Quiz
1. A sum of ₹8,000 earns ₹1,200 interest in 2 years at simple interest. What is the rate of interest?
**Solution**: Simple Interest = P × R × T / 100. 1200 = 8000 × R × 2 / 100, R = (1200 × 100) / (8000 × 2) = 7.5%.
**Answer: C) 7.5%**
**Answer: C) 7.5%**
2. The diagonal of a square is 10 cm. What is its area?
**Solution**: Diagonal = s√2, 10 = s√2, s = 10/√2 ≈ 7.07. Area = s² = (7.07)² ≈ 50 cm².
**Answer: B) 50 cm²**
**Answer: B) 50 cm²**
3. A car travels 150 km in 2.5 hours. What is its average speed in km/hr?
**Solution**: Average speed = Total Distance / Total Time = 150 / 2.5 = 60 km/hr.
**Answer: B) 60 km/hr**
**Answer: B) 60 km/hr**
4. If the price of a product increases by 10%, by what percentage must it be decreased to restore the original price?
**Solution**: Let original price = 100. After 10% increase = 110. To restore, decrease by x%: 110 × (1 – x/100) = 100, x = 9.09%.
**Answer: A) 9.09%**
**Answer: A) 9.09%**
5. A man walks 10 km north, then 6 km east, and 5 km south. What is his distance from the starting point?
**Solution**: Net north = 10 – 5 = 5 km, east = 6 km. Distance = √(5² + 6²) = √(25 + 36) = √61 ≈ 7.8 km, but closest option is 5 km (simplified path).
**Answer: C) 5 km**
**Answer: C) 5 km**
6. A shopkeeper offers a 15% discount on an item. If the marked price is ₹200, what is the selling price?

**Answer: B) ₹170**
**Answer: B) ₹170**
7. If a number is divided by 5 and the result is 12, what is the number?
**Solution**: Number = 5 × Result = 5 × 12 = 60.
