   A. Increases by 10%
   B. Decreases by 10%
   C. Remains same
   D. Decreases by 5%
   Answer: B — Decreases by 10%.
   Solution: New expenditure factor = 1.20 × 0.75 = 0.90 → 10% decrease.
2. Find Simple Interest on ₹5000 at 8% p.a. for 2 years.
   A. ₹700
   B. ₹800
   C. ₹900
   D. ₹1000
   Answer: B — ₹800.
   Solution: SI = P×R×T/100 = 5000×8×2/100 = 800.
3. Compound Interest on ₹4000 at 10% p.a. for 2 years (annual compounding) is:
   A. ₹400
   B. ₹800
   C. ₹840
   D. ₹880
   Answer: C — ₹840.
   Solution: CI = 4000[(1.10)² − 1] = 4000(1.21 − 1) = 4000×0.21 = 840.
4. Marked price (MP) is 25% above cost price (CP). A discount of 10% is given on MP.
   Profit percent is:
   A. 10%
   B. 11.25%
   C. 12.5%
   D. 15%
   Answer: C — 12.5%.
   Solution: Let CP = 100 → MP = 125 → SP = 125×0.9 = 112.5 → Profit = 112.5 − 100 =
   12.5%.
5. If A : B = 3 : 5 and B : C = 10 : 12, then A : B : C =
   A. 3 : 5 : 6
   B. 6 : 10 : 12
   SSC CHSL Most Expected Questions
   C. 3 : 10 : 12
   D. 9 : 15 : 18
   Answer: A — 3 : 5 : 6.
   Solution: Make B common: A:B = 3:5 → ×2 → 6:10; B:C = 10:12 → combine → 6:10:12
   → simplify divide by 2 → 3:5:6.
6. A completes a task in 12 days and B in 18 days. Working together they will finish in:
   A. 6 days
   B. 7.2 days
   C. 8 days
   D. 10 days
   Answer: B — 7.2 days.
   Solution: Work rate = 1/12 + 1/18 = (3+2)/36 = 5/36 → Time = 36/5 = 7.2 days.
7. A car saves 30 minutes by increasing its speed by 10 km/h over a distance of 150
   km. The original speed of the car is:
   A. 40 km/h
   B. 45 km/h
   C. 50 km/h
   D. 60 km/h
   Answer: C — 50 km/h.
   Solution: Let original speed = x. Time saved = 150/x − 150/(x+10) = 0.5 hour. Solve:
   150(x+10) − 150x = 0.5x(x+10) → 1500 = 0.5x² + 5x → x² + 10x − 3000 = 0 → x = 50
   (positive root).
8. The average of 5 numbers is 28. One number 34 is replaced by 24. The new average
   is:
   A. 25
   B. 26
   C. 27
   D. 28
   Answer: B — 26.
   Solution: Original sum = 5×28 = 140. New sum = 140 − (34 − 24) = 130. New
   average = 130/5 = 26.
9. In a right triangle the two legs are 6 and 8. The hypotenuse, area and perimeter
   respectively are:
   A. 10; 24; 24
   B. 10; 14; 24
   C. 12; 24; 26
   D. 10; 24; 26
   Answer: A — 10; 24; 24.
   Solution: Hypotenuse = √(6² + 8²) = √(36+64) = √100 = 10. Area = (6×8)/2 = 24.
   Perimeter = 6+8+10 = 24.

10. If tan θ = 3/4, evaluate (1 + sin θ) / (1 + cos θ).
    A. 3/4
    B. 4/5
    C. 8/9
    D. 5/4
    Answer: C — 8/9.
    Solution: For tan θ = 3/4, take sin θ = 3/5 and cos θ = 4/5. Then (1 + sin θ)/(1 + cos
    θ) = (1 + 3/5)/(1 + 4/5) = (8/5)/(9/5) = 8/9.
