Paper & answer key PDFRohan walks a distance of 3 kms towards North, then turns to his left and walks for 2 kms. He again turns left and walks for 3 kms. At this point he turns to his left and walks for 3 kms. How far is he from the starting point?
Let's break down Rohan's movements step by step: 1. He first walks 3 km North. 2. He then turns left (towards West) and walks 2 km. 3. He turns left again (now facing South) and walks 3 km. 4. Finally, he turns left once more (facing East) and walks 3 km. Now, let's calculate his final position: After the first move, he is 3 km North of the starting point. After the second move, he is 2 km West of the North line. After the third move, he is 3 km South of his previous position, which brings him back to the same horizontal level as his starting point. After the fourth move, he walks 3 km East, which cancels out the 2 km West he had previously walked, leaving him 1 km East of the starting point. Therefore, Rohan is 1 km away from the starting point, in the East direction. The correct answer is: 1 km

Paper & answer key PDFTwo consecutive discounts x% and y% is equivalent to the discount
The formula for two consecutive discounts of x% and y% can be derived as follows: Let the original price be P. After applying the first discount of x%, the price becomes: Price after first discount = P × (1 - x/100) Now, applying the second discount of y% on the new price: Price after second discount = P × (1 - x/100) × (1 - y/100) This is equivalent to a single discount of: Single equivalent discount = 100 × [1 - (1 - x/100)(1 - y/100)] Expanding the equation: Single equivalent discount = 100 × [1 - (1 - x/100 - y/100 + xy/10000)] Single equivalent discount = 100 × [x + y - xy/100] / 100 This simplifies to: Equivalent discount = x + y - xy / 100 Thus, the correct formula for two consecutive discounts is: (x + y - xy / 100)% The correct answer is: 4
