storage, rather than selling it fresh? (In Rs.)
A.64 more
B.64 less
C.80 more
D.80 less
Answer: C.80 more
Explanation: Price of 1kg fresh cashew = Rs.100
Therefore, price of 10kg = Rs.100 * 10 = Rs.1000
10% of 10kg which eaten by rodents = 10*10/100 = 1kg.
So, End of Year he had 10kg - 1kg = 9kg
So, he sells that 9kg with Rs.20 per kg profit = 9 * 120 = 1080.
He buy 10kg wooden box with cashew for 1000Rs and sell that for 1080Rs.
So, profit = 1080 - 1000 = 80Rs more money he get.

I.The train crosses a signal pole in 18 seconds.
II.The train crosses a platform of equal length in 36 seconds.
III.Length of the train is 330 metres.
A.I and II only
B.II and III only
C.I and III only
D.III and either I or II only
Answer: D.III and either I or II only

Question: A sum of Rs. 1360 has been divided among A, B and C such that A gets of what B gets and B gets of what C gets. B's share is:
A.240
B.120
C.280
D.160
Answer: A.240
Explanation: Let C's share = Rs. x
Then, B's share = Rs. x/4, A's share = Rs. (2/3 x (x/4))= Rs. x/6
Therefore, x/6 + x/4 + x = 1360
=17x/12 = 1360
x = 1360 x 12/17= Rs. 960
Hence, B's share = Rs. (960/4)= Rs. 240.

Question: How many diagonals does a 62-sided convex polygon have?
A.1829
B.2356
C.3458
D.3843
Answer: A.1829
Explanation: A 62-sided convex polygon has 62 vertices.
If we examine a single vertex, we can see that we can connect it with 59 other vertices to create a diagonal. Note that we can't connect the vertex to itself and we can't connect it to its adjacent vertices, since this would not create a diagonal.
If each of the 62 vertices can be connected with 59 vertices to create a diagonal then the total number of diagonals would be (62)(59) = 3658
However, we must recognize that we have counted every diagonal twice.
To account for counting each diagonal twice, we must divide 3658 by 2 to get 1829.
The answer is A.
