Answers :

1) Answer: D

According to the question,

(15 % – 10 %) of salary = 4000

5 % of salary = 4000

Total salary = 4000*(100/5) = Rs. 80000 = 100 %

Savings % = (20000/80000)*100 = 25 %

Total salary (100 %) = Expense (75 %) + Savings (25 %)

75 % = (15 % + 20 % + 10 % + X %)

X % = 75 % – 45 % = 30 %


2) Answer: D

Let, total income of Raghav be Rs. P

(a)

(100 – 20)/100 x (100 – 10)/100 x (100 – 25)/100 x (100 – 20)/100 x P = 10800

=> 80/100 x 90/100 x 75/100 x 80/100 x P = 10800

=> P = 10800 x 100/80 x 100/90 x 100/75 x 100/80

=> P = Rs.25000

Amount spent by Raghav on entertainment

= 80/100 x 90/100 x 25/100 x 25000

= Rs.4500 = 4500

=> Satisfies the given condition.

(b)

(100 – 20)/100 x (100 – 10)/100 x (100 – 25)/100 x (100 – 20)/100 x P = 13500

=> 80/100 x 90/100 x 75/100 x 80/100 x P = 13500

=> P = 13500 x 100/80 x 100/90 x 100/75 x 100/80

=> P = Rs.31250

Amount spent by Raghav on entertainment

= 80/100 x 90/100 x 25/100 x 31250

= Rs.5625 = 5625

=> Satisfies the given condition.

(c)

(100 – 20)/100 x (100 – 10)/100 x (100 – 25)/100 x (100 – 20)/100 x P = 18900

=> 80/100 x 90/100 x 75/100 x 80/100 x P = 18900

=> P = 18900 x 100/80 x 100/90 x 100/75 x 100/80

=> P = Rs.43750

Amount spent by Raghav on entertainment

= 80/100 x 90/100 x 25/100 x 43750

= Rs.7875 = 7875

=> Satisfies the given condition


3) Answer: C

Let Blue balls = x

Red balls = x * 120/100 = 6x/5

x* 60/100 = 40/100 *Orange balls

Orange balls = 3x/2

Yellow balls = 3x/5

3x/2 – 6x/5 = 15

15x – 12x = 150

x = 50

Total number of balls = x + 6x/5 + 3x/2 + 3x/5

= 50+60+75+30

= 215


4) Answer: E

Number of red balls = x

Number of blue balls = 100 – x

x * 120/100 + (100 – x + 9) = 100 * 123/100

6x/5 + 109 – x = 123

6x + 545 – 5x = 123 * 5

x = 70

Number of blue balls = 100 – 70 = 30

Required ratio = 7: 3


5) Answer: C

Let x be the total mark in that exam, then

Rajeev’s score = 412 marks, Sanjay’s score = 75 % = Rajeev’s score + 8

Sanjay = 412 + 8 = 420 = 75 % of total marks

(75/100)* x = 420

x = 420 * (100/75) = 560

Minimum passing marks = 35 % of total marks

= > (35/100)* 560 = 196

Rajeev scored 216 marks more than the passing marks.


6) Answer: D

Total costs of all the properties = 18000 + 30000 + 400000 = 448000

New worth of the Renu properties

= ((18000 * 110/100) + (30000 * 95/100) + (400000 * 80/100))

= 19800 + 28500 + 320000

= 368300

Required percentage = (448000 – 368300)/448000 * 100

= 17.8% decreases


7) Answer: A

Number of employees in B = x

Number of employees in A = x * 120/100 = 6x/5

Number of employees in C = 6x/5 * 130/100 = 39x/25

Female in A = 6x/5 * 12/25 = 72x/125

Female in B = 9/20 * x = 9x/20

Female in C = 39x/25 * 2/5 = 78x/125

Required percentage = (72x/125 + 9x/20 + 78x/125)/(x + 6x/5 + 39x/25) * 100

= (288x + 225x + 312x)/500 * 25/(25x + 30x + 39x) * 100

= 44%


8) Answer: E

Number of students from B = x

Number of students from A = x * 150/100 = 3x/2

Number of students from D = y

Number of students from C = y * 160/100 = 8y/5

x – y = 40 ———-(1)

3x/2 + 8y/5 = 123 * 2 = 246

15x + 16y = 2460 ——–(2)

(2) – (1) * 15

31y = 2460 – 600

y = 60

x = 40 + 60 = 100

Number of students from A = 150/100 * 100 = 150

Number of students from C = 60 * 160/100 = 96

Required total = (96 + 150 + 100 + 60) = 406


9) Answer: C

Let number of students in section I, II and III = 400x, 500x and 700x respectively.

So,

Boys in section III = 700x × 13/25 = 364x

Girls in section III = 700 × 12/25 = 336x

In section I, number of boys = 400x × 40/100 = 160x

So, the number of girls is = 400x – 160x = 240x

Let number of girls in section II = x

So, according to the question,

= x/3 + x = 500x

= 4x/3 = 500x

= x = 375x

So, number of boys in section II = 500x – 375x = 125x

Now, the total number of boys in all sections = 364x + 160x + 125x = 649x

And the total number of girls in all sections = 336x + 240x + 375x = 951x

So, the required percentage = (951x – 649x)/951x × 100

= 302x/951x × 100 ≈ 32%less


10) Answer: D

Let the number of black marbles in bag and pink 7a and 6a respectively.

Number of yellow marbles in bag = 6a + 12

Number of green marbles in Bag = (100% – 18.75%) of (6a + 12)

= 13/16 x (6a + 12)

According to the question,

7a + (13/16) x (6a + 12)= 936

112a + 78a + 156 = 936 x 16

190a = 14820

So, value of a = 78

Total balls in the bag = 7 x 78 + 6 x 78 + (6 x 78 + 12) + 13/16 x (6×78 + 12)

= 546 + 468 + 480 + 390

= 1884
