Options- A. 114/23 h
- B. 214/23 h
- C. 2 h 40 min
- D. 1 h 56 min
- Correct Answer
- 214/23 h
ExplanationPart of tank filled by first tap in 1 h = 1/3
Part of tank filled by second tap in 1 h = 1/4
Part of tank emptied by third tap in 1 h = 1/5
Part of the tank filled by all pipes opened simultaneously in 1 h
= 1/3 + 1/4 - 1/5 = (20 + 15 - 12)/60 = 23/60
Time taken by all the taps to fill the tank when it is empty = 23/60 h = 214/23 h - 1. x% of y is y% of?

Correct Answer: x
Explanation:
Let x% of y = y% of A, then
? xy / 100 = yA/100
? A = (xy/100) x (100/y) = x
Correct Answer: 1500
Explanation:
Let 371/2% of A = 900
? {(75/2) x A} x 100 = 900
? A = (900 x 2 x 100) / 75 = 2400
So, 621/2% of A = (125/2) x (1/100) x 2400 =1500
Correct Answer: 0.94
Explanation:
Let A - 6% of A = AB.
? (94 x A) / 100 = AB
? B = 0.94
Correct Answer: 371/2%
Explanation:
Let original price = Rs. 100
? Increase price = Rs. 160
? Decrease on Rs. 160 = Rs. 60
? Decrease on Rs. 100 = (60/160) x 100 % = 371/2%
Correct Answer: 1.2
Explanation:
?(3.6/100) x 40
= ?1.44 = 1.2
Correct Answer: 200
Explanation:
Minimum passing marks = 50 + 50 = 100

? x = (100/50) x 100 = 200

Explanation:
Profit or loss percent = ab/100 %
= (20 x 20)/100 %
= -4%
Correct Answer: 12.5
Explanation:
5% of 50% of 500
= (5/100) x (50/100) x 500
= 12.5
Correct Answer: ? 90
Explanation:
Let the required amount of money be N.
Then, N x 25% = 180 x 121/2%
? N = (180 x 12.5)/25
= ? 90
Correct Answer: ? 6500
