Correct Answer: 85
Correct Answer: 29.68
Correct Answer: 2a% of b
Correct Answer: 23/50
Explanation:
Given
Correct Answer: 22
Explanation:
63.5% of 8924.2 +? % of 5324.4 = 6827.5862
=> 63.5% of 8925 + ? % of 5325 = 6830
=> 6830 ~= 5320 + ?(5325)/100
=> ? ~= 22
Correct Answer: 10
Correct Answer: None of the statements is required
Explanation:
From the given data,
(60 - 45)% = 12.5 + 4
15% = 16.5
=> 100% = ?
100% = 16.5 x 100/15 = 110
Hence, P = 45% of 110 = 45x110/100 = 49.5
Q = 50% of 110 = 55
R = 60% of 110 = 60 x 110/100 = 66
M = 12.5 + 49.5 = 62 or 66 - 4 = 62
Hence, no statement is required to answer.
Correct Answer: 11
Explanation:
Given the company has 8 SD + 6 SRP + 7 IN = 21 cars + 'x' small cars.
Given SD makes 1/4 th of the total fleet.
=> 8 = 1/4 (21 + x)
=> 32 = 21 + x
=> x = 11
Therefore, the company has 11 small cars.
Correct Answer: 11.11% decrease
Explanation:
If earlier he is getting Rs. 1 per hr and working for 1 hr, income = Rs. 1
Now he is getting Rs 1.3333 per hr and working for 0.66667 hrs
Then income for 0.66667 hrs = Rs. 0.8889.
If payment per hr is increased by 33.33 % and working hours dereased by 33.33%, then 11.11 % decrease in income.
Correct Answer: Thursday
Explanation:
Given monday population = 3000
Per day 20% increase in population.
Tuesday population = 3000 + 3000x20/100 = 3000 + 600 = 3600
Wednesday population =3600 + 3600x20/100 = 3600 + 720 = 4320
Thursday population = 4320 + 4320x20/100 = 4320 + 864 = 5184
So that day is Thursday.
