In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes, 20% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 7500, the number of valid votes that the other candidate got, was :
Options- A. 2500
- B. 2700
- C. 2900
- D. 3100
- Correct Answer
- 2700
ExplanationTotal number of votes = 7500
Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid
=> Valid votes = 80%
Total valid votes = 7500*(80/100)
1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.
Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes
=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x (45/100)
7500*(80/100)*(45/100) = 2700

Correct Answer: 62400
Correct Answer: 4000
Correct Answer: 10800
Correct Answer: 75000
Correct Answer: 1,40,400
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
The fruit content in both the fresh fruit and dry fruit is the same.
Given, fresh fruit has 68% water.so remaining 32% is fruit content. weight of fresh fruits is 100kg
Dry fruit has 20% water.so remaining 80% is fruit content.let weight if dry fruit be y kg.
Fruit % in freshfruit = Fruit% in dryfruit
Therefore, (32/100) x 100 = (80/100 ) x y
we get, y = 40 kg.
Correct Answer: 4% of a
Explanation:
20% of a = b
=> (20/100) * a = b
b% of 20 =(b/100) x 20 = [(20a/100) / 100] x 20= 4a/100 = 4% of a.
Correct Answer: 12000
Explanation:
Purchase price = = Rs. [8748 * (10/9) * (10/9 )* (10/9)] = Rs.12000
Correct Answer: 64 %
Explanation:
Let the number be x.
Then, ideally he should have multiplied by x by 5/3. Hence Correct result was x * (5/3)= 5x/3.
By mistake he multiplied x by 3/5 . Hence the result with error = 3x/5
Then, error = (5x/3 - 3x/5) = 16x/15
Error % = (error/True vaue) * 100 = [(16/15) * x/(5/3) * x] * 100 = 64 %
Correct Answer: 500
Explanation:
Given that the student got 125 marks and still he failed by 40 marks
=> The minimum pass mark = 125 + 40 = 165
Given that minimum pass mark = 33% of the total mark
=> total mark =33/100 =165
=> total mark = 16500/33 = 500
