Correct Answer: 24,000
Explanation:
Let K = Kalyan's monthly salary
N = Nandu's monthly salary
S = Sarnesh's monthly salary.
Then from given data,
12% of K = 16% of N
S = N/2 => N = 2S
K = 16/12 x N = 16/12 x 2S
= 16/6 x 1.08/12 = 16/6 x 0.09 = 0.24 lacs = 24,000

Hence, 85 is 24.14% of 352.

Imension of the duster is assumed as 5x5x7 cm3
Volume of the duster below the water layer

Total volume of the duster = 5×5×7 = 175 cm3
Percentage of the duster part below the layer = 168×100/175 = 96%
Percentage of the duster part above the layer = 4%
Correct Answer: 4400

=> 20 x 1500/100 = 300 boys are Christians.

Explanation:
Given 21% of 500 + 31% of 1100 - 30% of 790 = ?
? = 21 x 5 + 31 x 11 - 3 x 79
