Solution:
1).Kamal’s age at the time of her marriage = x years
Her present age = (5x/4) years
(5x/4) – x = 6à (5x – 4x) / 4 = 6
x = 4 × 6 = 24 years
Kamala’s present age = 24 + 6 = 30 years
Her son’s age = 30 × (10/100) = 3 years
Answer :a)
2).Required percentage = (50/150) × 100 = 33 1/3%
Answer :b)
3).20 × [(100 + p) / 100] = [60(100 – p)] / 100
100 + p = 3 (100 – p)àp + 3p = 300 – 100
4p = 200à p = 50à p% of 70 = (70 × 50) / 100 = 35
Answer :d)
4).Let the value of the calculator be Rs. x
(105x / 100) – (87x / 100) = 45à(18x / 100) = 45
X = (45 × 100) / 18 = Rs. 250
Answer :c)
5).Let Sivaram’s monthly salary be Rs. x.
Previously his % expenses were (100 – 60)% = 40%
After 20% increase in expenses, % expenses = 40% + 20% of 40 = 48%
% savings = 52%à(52x / 100) = 10400
X = (10400 × 100) / 52 = Rs. 20000
Answer :c)
6).
Answer :b)
7).
answer :a)
8).Area remains same = 25 –x – (25x / 100) = 0
x + (x/4) = 25
5x = 25 × 4àx = 20%
Answer :d)
9).Pages in X= 120
Pages in Y = (120 × 110) / 100 = 132
Pages in Z = (120 × 90) / 100 = 108
Pages torn from X = 6
Pages torn from Y = (132 × 10) / 100 = 13.2
Pages torn from Z = (108 × 15) / 100 = 16.2
Number of pages torn out = 35.4 , Total pages = 120 + 132 + 108 = 360
Required percent = (35.4 / 360) × 100 = 10
Answer :b)
10).Percentage decrease = (15 × 15) / 100 = 2.25%
