Answer : 4. "84.8"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 84.8 Explanation: Let 'M' be the maximum marks in the examination. Therefore, Madhu got 32% of M = 32M/100 = 0.32MAnd Kumar got 42% of M = 42M/100 = 0.42M.In terms of the maximum marks Kumar got 0.42M - 0.32M = 0.1M more than Madhu. ---- (1) The problem however, states that Kumar got 16 marks more than the cut-off mark and Madhu got 8 marks less than the cut-off mark. Therefore, Kumar has got 16 + 8 = 24 marks more than Madhu. ---- (2) Now, Equating (1) and (2), we get0.1M = 24 => M = 24/0.1 = 240'M' is the maximum mark and is equal to 240 marks.We know that Madhu got 32% of the maximum marks.Therefore, Madhu got 32 x 240/100 = 76.8 marks.We also know that Madhu got 8 marks less than the cut-off marks. Therefore, the cut-off marks will be 8 marks more than what Madhu got = 76.8 + 8 = 84.8.

Answer : 1. "50 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 50 days Explanation: 50 men can build a tank in 40 days Assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in 1 day Then the total work is 50×40 = 2000 units 50 men work in the first 10 days and completes 50×10 = 500 units of work 45 men work in the next 10 days and completes 45×10 = 450 units of work 40 men work in the next 10 days and completes 40×10 = 400 units of work 35 men work in the next 10 days and completes 35×10 = 350 units of work So far 500 + 450 + 400 + 350 = 1700 units of work is completed and Remaining work is 2000 - 1700 = 300 units 30 men work in the next 10 days. In each day, they does 30 units of work. Therefore, additional days required = 300/30 =10 Thus, total 10+10+10+10+10 = 50 days required.
