Correct Answer: 200

5% of 4000
= 5 x 4000/100
= 5 x 40
= 200
Hence, 5% of 4000 = 200.
Correct Answer: 24%
Explanation:
Let the cost price of each mango be Rs. 1
So 50 mangoes costs = Rs. 50
20% Profit on Selling Price of 10 mangoes = Rs. 12
30% Profit on Selling Price of 20 mangoes = Rs. 26
Total = Rs. 38
Loss = 50 - 38 = 12
Loss% = (12/50) x 100 = 24%.
Correct Answer: 1060
Explanation:
Given total number of students = 80
Total teachers = 5
Number of coupons each student got = 15 x 80/100 = 12
Number of coupons each teacher got = 25 x 80/100 = 20
Therefore, total number of shopping coupons = 80 x 12 + 5 x 20 = 960 + 100 = 1060.
Correct Answer: 20%
Explanation:
Percentage of students passed in English = 60%
Percentage of students passed in Hindi = 45%
Percentage of students passed in both subjects = 25%
ATQ,
Percentage of students passed in only English = 60 - 25 = 35%
Percentage of students passed in only Hindi = 45 - 25 = 20%
Therefore, Percentage of students failed = 100 - (35 + 25 + 20)
= 100 - 80 = 20%.
Correct Answer: 25 kgs
Explanation:
Initial wheat per kg cost be Rs. 100
Then, monthly expenditure of the family = 30 x 100 = 3000

=> P = 25 kg.
Correct Answer: 85.71
Correct Answer: Rs.300
Correct Answer: 11 1/9%
Correct Answer: 38
Explanation:
Let no. of boys be 'B' and no. of girls be 'G'
Here from given data,
B + G = 1650 .....(1)
B - G = 400 .....(2)
From (1) & (2), we get
2B = 2050
=> B = 1025
=> G = 1650 - 1025 = 625
Hence, the % of girls = 625 x 100/1650
=> 38% (approx).
Correct Answer: 14.66%
Explanation:
There is no need to use the no of goats i.e (34,398). let initially thete be 1000 goats then
1000 -----> 1400 -----> 980 -----> 1274 ----->1146.6
Thus the % increase = (1146.6-1000)/100 x 100= 14.66%
