Correct Answer: 360
Explanation:
Final Price = Initial price + Initial price x 20/100
= Initial price x (1+20/100)
= Rs.300x(1.2)
= Rs.360
Correct Answer: 42
Explanation:
Final Price = 25 x (1 + 20/100) x (1 + 40/100)
=Rs.25 x 1.2 x 1.4
= Rs. 42
Correct Answer: 25%
Explanation:
Total weight of alloy = 20+20+ 40 = 80g
Weight of tin = 20g
Percentage of tin = 20g/80g x 100
=25%
Correct Answer: 60cc
Explanation:
Concentration of Sulphuric acid = 80%
So in a 100cc, Sulphuric acid = 80cc and water = 20cc
Let x be the amount of water added to make concentration of 50%
?80/(100+x) = 50/100
? 80/(100+x) = 1/2
? x = 60cc
Correct Answer: 75
Explanation:
Let Cost Price (CP) = x
Then Selling Price(SP) if he sells at profit = x(1+8%) = 1.08x
and SP, if he sells at loss = x(1-8%) = 0.92%
Given, 1.08%-0.92% = Rs12
0.16x = Rs.12
?x = Rs.75
Correct Answer: 300
Explanation:
Let 'x' be the required number
0.75x + 75 =x
? 0.25x=75
? x=75 / 0.25 =300
Correct Answer: 9.09 %
Explanation:
Sunil's income is less than Mukul's = [(10 / (100 + 10)] × 100 %
= ( 1000 / 110 )%
= 9.09 %
Correct Answer: 6.125 %
Explanation:
Number of men who can read and write = 150000 × (98 ÷ 100) =147000
Number of men and women who can read and write =294000 × (53 ÷ 100) =155820
Number of women who can read and write 155820 - 147000 = 8820
Thus, out of 144000 women 8820 can read and write.
Required percentage = (8820 × 100) ? 144000 %= 6.125
Correct Answer: 125
Explanation:
Let the required number be N.
Then, (16/100) x (40/100) x N = 8
Then, N = (8 x 100 x 100) / (16 x 40)
= 125
Correct Answer: 50
Explanation:
Let the required number be N.
Then, N - 20% of N = 40
? N - 20N/100 = 400
? 5N - N = 200
? N = 50
