- Question
Rs. 69 were divided among 115 family members so that each lady gets 50 paise less than each gentleman, and each gentleman received twice the paise as each lady received. Find the number of gentlemen in the family?
Options- A. 23
- B. 92
- C. 48
- D. 52
- Correct Answer
- 23
ExplanationTotal number of female members = 115
Let the number of males = x
Number of females = y
=> x + y = 115 ......(1)
According to the given data,
x + y(0.50) = 69 ......(2)
From (1) & (2), we get
0.5y = 46
=> y = 46 x 2 = 92
=> x = 115 - 92 = 23
Hence, required number of gentlemen in the family = x = 23.

Correct Answer: 42 : 625
Explanation:
6.72/100 = 672/10000 = 42/625
Correct Answer: 10.769 %
Explanation:
I II III
65 58 100
65 -------- 7
100 ------ ? => 10.769%
Correct Answer: 90 min
Explanation:
Let X = Time taken for each of Type B Problems(100 Problems)
And 2X = Time taken for each of Type A problems(50 problems)
Total time period = 3hrs = 3 x 60min = 180 minutes
100X + 50(2X) = 180
100X + 100X = 180
200X = 180 min
X = 180/200
X = 0.90 min
By convertiing into seconds,
X = 0.90 x 60 seconds
X = 54 sec
So, time taken for Part A problems is = 54 x 2 x 50 = 5400 seconds
= 5400/60sec = 90 minutes.
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
Let the total applicants be 100
Then, 20% got 85 marks
i.e 20 x 85 = 1700
and 25% got 95 marks
i.e 25 x 95 = 2375
Now, the remaining applicants are 55 and let the average marks scored by them be x.
Therefore, 2375 + 1700 + 55x =
6000 - 4075 = 55x
55x=1925
x=35.
Correct Answer: 60%
Explanation:
Here it is asked that 3 is what percent of 5
Let 3 is K percent of 5.
=> K x 5/100 = 3
=> K = 300/5 = 60
Hence, 3 is 60% of 5.
Correct Answer: 1060
Explanation:
From the given data,
80 x 15/100 of 80 + 5 x 80 x 25/100
= 960 + 100
= 1060.
Correct Answer: 8 cms
Explanation:
Let the total length of the pencil = x cms
From the given data,
'x/8' is black
Remaining part = x - x/8 = 7x/8
1/2 of 7x/8 is white
=> 7x/16 is white (Remaining part is 7x/16)
And given that the remaining part is blue and is 3 1/2 cm = 7/2 = 3.5 cm
That remaining part = 7x/16
Therefore,
7x/16 = 7/2
x = 16/2 = 8
Hence, the total length of the pencil = x = 8 cm.
Correct Answer: 100%
Correct Answer: 20%
Explanation:
Suppose that the original price of the car = Rs. x
Then new price of the car
=> (x) + (x ×25/100) = Rs. 5x/4
To restore the original price, the new price must be decreased by
5x/4 ? x = x/4
So required percentage =(x/4)/(5x/4) × 100%
= 20%
