Correct Answer: 36.975
Explanation:
30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30)
Now
=> 0.0825 x 30 = 2.475 -----(1)
=> 15% of 30 = 450/100 = 4.5 -----(2)
Hence, from (1) & (2)
30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30)
= 30 + 2.475 + 4.5
30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30) = 36.975.
Correct Answer: Rs. 20
Explanation:
Let the original price of rice be Rs. x
Let rice a man can buy for Rs. 500 at rs. x/kg be = R kgs
From given data, for Rs. 500
x ---- R kgs
(x + 25x/100) ---- (R - 5) kgs
=> Rx = (R - 5)(x + 25x/100)
=> Rx = (R - 5)(125x/100)
=> 100Rx = 125Rx - 625x
=> R = 25
So at rate of Rs. x/kg, man get 25 kgs for Rs. 500
=> x = 500/25 = Rs. 20

=Rs. (7/100)*400 + (9/100)*6400 = Rs. (28 + 576) = Rs. 604.
Total cost of the items = Rs. (400 + 6400) = Rs. 6800.
Required percentage =(604/6800*100) % = %.
Correct Answer: 44 %
Explanation:
n (A) = 34, n (B) = 42, n (A ? B) = 20.
So, n (A U B) = n (A) + n(B) - n(A ?B) = 34 + 42 - 20 = 56.
Percentage failed in either or both the subjects = 56.
Hence, percentage passed = (100 - 66)% = 44%.

Lucky's present salary = 55 + 10% of 55 = 55 + 5.5 = 60.5
Lucky's present salary of 60.5 = 50% of Karthik's present salary of 121.
