Correct Answer: 62 *2/3
Explanation:
Total number of students = 1100 + 700 = 1800.
Number of students passed = (42% of 1100 + 30% of 700) - (462 + 210) = 672.
Number of failues = 1800-672 = 1128.
Percentage failure = (1128/1800 * 100 )% = 62 * 2/3 %.
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Let original consumption = 100 kg and new consumption = x kg,
So, 100 * 6 = x * 7.50 => x = 80kg
Reduction in consumption = 20%.
Correct Answer: (93 + 1/3 )%
Explanation:
Pass percentage =[(252/270)*100] % =280/3 % = 9 %

Correct Answer: 75
Explanation:
Let the number of students in the class be 100 and let this required average be x.
Then, (10 * 95) + (20 * 90) + (70 * x) = (100 * 80)
=> 70x = 8000 - (950 + 1800) = 5250
=> x = 75.
Correct Answer: 62.5 %
Explanation:
x = 80 % of y
=> x =(80/100 )y
=> y/x = 5/4
Required percentage = [(y/2x)*100] % = (5/8*100) % =62.5%
Correct Answer: 60 %

Let the total original sale be Rs. 100. Then, original number of visitors = 100.
New number of visitors = 120/0.75 = 160.
Increase % = 60 %.

Correct Answer: 68921
Explanation:
Population afer 3 years = 64000 * (1 + 5/(2 *100) )^3 = (64000 * 41/40 * 41/40 * 41/40 ) = 68921..
Correct Answer: 4:3
Explanation:
Given 15% of x = 20% of y
=> 15x = 20y
=> x/y = 20/15
=> x : y = 4 : 3
