Given:
Increment in number = 10% of the number
Decrement in number = 20% of the new number
Concept used:
Net increase or decrease percent = {(Original number or Final number) – (Final number or original number) ÷ Original number} × 100
Calculation:
Let the original number be 100
When the number is increased by 10%
New Number = 100 + 10% of 100
⇒ 100 + 10
⇒ 110
Now, the number is decreased by 20%
Final number = New number – 20% of new number
⇒ 110 – 20% of 110
⇒ 110 – 22
⇒ 88
∴ Net Decrease in percentage = { (100 – 88) / 100} × 100
⇒ {12/100} × 100
⇒ 12%
∴ The net decrease percentage is 12%.
24In a class of 45 students, there are 20 girls who scored an average of 42 marks a test of 50 marks. If the class average is 36, what are the average marks of the boys?

Hence, Number of admission after 3 year is nearest to 2778.
14A shopkeeper normally makes a profit of 20% in a certain transaction; he weights 900 g instead of 1 kg, due to an issue with the weighing machine. If he charges 10% less than what he normally charges, what is his actual profit or loss percentage?
Given:
A shopkeeper normally makes a profit of 20% in a certain transaction,
He weights 900 g instead of 1 kg, due to an issue with the weighing machine.
He charges 10% less than what he normally charges.
Formula used:
SP = \(\frac{100 – discount}{100}×CP\)
Calculations:
Let the cost price of 1 Kg of goods = Rs. 100
So, the selling price of 1 Kg of goods = 100 × 120/100 = Rs. 120
Cost price of 900 grams of goods = Rs. 90
According to question,
Shopkeeper charges 10% less what he normally charges
So, the new selling price = old selling price × (100 – 10)/100
⇒ New selling price = 120 × \(\frac{90}{100}\) =Rs. 108
So, profit = Rs. (108 – 90) = Rs. 18
So, profit % = (\(\frac{18}{90}\)) × 100 = 20%
Hence, Profit percentage is 20%.
13Calculate the area of the quadrilateral formed with the vertices (-3, 2), (5, 4),(7, -6) and (-5, -4).

Quadrilateral formed with the vertices (-3, 2), (5, 4),(7, -6) and (-5, -4).
Concept:
Area of quadrilateral ABCD = (1/2) ⋅ [(x1y2 + x2y3 + x3y4 + x4y1) – (x2y1 + x3y2 + x4y3 + x1y4)]
Calculations:
Let A(-3, 2), B(5, 4), C(7, -6) and D(-5, -4) be the vertices of a quadrilateral ABCD.
Thus,
A(-3, 2) = (x1, y1)
B(5, 4) = (x2, y2)
C(7, -6) = (x3, y3)
D(-5, -4) = (x4, y4)
We know that,
Area of quadrilateral ABCD = (1/2) ⋅ [(x1y2 + x2y3 + x3y4 + x4y1) – (x2y1 + x3y2 + x4y3 + x1y4)]
Substituting the values,
= (\(\frac{1}{2}\)). {[-3(4) + 5(-6) + 7(-4) + (-5)2] – {[5(2) + 7(4) + (-5)(-6) + (-3)(-4)]}
= (\(\frac{1}{2}\)).[(-12 – 30 – 28 – 10) – (10 + 28 + 30 + 12)]
= (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) [-80 – 80]
= 160/2 {since area cannot be negative}
= 80
\(\therefore\)The area of the quadrilateral formed with the given vertices is 80 sq. units.
12The value of \({\sin4\theta+\sin2 \theta}\over{\cos 4\theta+\cos 2\theta}\) is:

sinA + sinB = 2 sin\(\frac{(A+B)}{2}\)cos \(\frac{(A-B)}{2}\)
cosA + cosB = 2 cos\(\frac{(A+B)}{2}\)cos\(\frac{(A-B)}{2}\)
Calculations:
\({\sin4θ+\sin2 θ}\over{\cos 4θ+\cos 2θ}\)
= \(\frac{2sin3θ cosθ}{2cos3θ cosθ}\)
= tan3θ
∴ The simplified value is tan3θ.
11Loan is to be repaid in two equal yearly instalments. If the rate of interest is 10% per annum, compounded annually, and each instalment is Rs.6,897, then find the total interest charged.
Given:
Amount of each installment = Rs. 6,897
Rate of interest compounded annually = 10%
Number of years (n) = 2
Concept used:
P = A/[1 + (R/100)]n
Interest = 2 × Installment – P
Calculation:
Let the loan amount be P.
P = 6897/[1 + (10/100)] + 6897/[1 + (10/100)]2
⇒ P = 6897/(1 + 1/10) + 6897/(1 + 1/10)2
⇒ P = 6897/(11/10) + 6897/(11/10)2
⇒ P = (6897 × 10)/11 + 6897/(121/100)
⇒ P = 68970/11 + 689700/121
⇒ P = 6270 + 5700
⇒ P = 11970
Interest = 2 × 6897 – 11970
⇒ 13794 – 11970 = 1824
∴ The total interest charged in this scheme is Rs. 1,824.
