The following question based on percentage topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : The monthly income of a person was Rs.13,500 and his monthly expenditure was Rs.9,000. Next year his income increased by 14% and his expenditure increased by 7%. The per cent increase in his savings was

(a) 28%

(b) 21%

(c) 7%

(d) 35%

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

Original savings = Rs.(13500 – 9000) = Rs.4500

New income = 114% of Rs.13500 = Rs.(114 × 135) = Rs.15390

New expenditure = 107% of Rs.9000 = Rs.(107 × 90) = Rs.9630

New savings = Rs.(15390 – 9630) = Rs.5760

Percentage increase in savings = ${5760 – 4500}/4500$ × 100

= $1260/45$ = 28%

A man spends 40% of his monthly salary on food and one-third of the remaining on transport. If he saves Rs.4,500 per month, which is equal to half the balance after spending on food and transport, his monthly salary is

a) Rs.25,000

b) Rs.22,500

c) Rs.11,250

d) Rs.45,000

Answer: (b)

Suppose monthly income of the man is Rs. x.

Expenditure on food = 40% of x = Rs.${2x}/5$

Remaining amount = x - ${2x}/5= Rs.{3x}/5$

Expenditure on transport = $1/3 × {3x}/5 = Rs.x/5$

Remaining amount = ${3x}/5 - x/5 = {2x}/5$

According to question $1/2 × {2x}/5 = 4500$

x = 4500 × 5 = Rs.22,500

Question : 6

Given that 10% of A's income = 15% of B's income = 20% of C's income. If sum of their income is Rs.7800, then B's income is:

a) Rs.2400

b) Rs.3000

c) Rs.3600

d) Rs.1800

Answer: (a)

10% of A = 15% of B = 20% of C

10A = 15B = 20C

${10A}/60 = {15B}/60 = {20C}/60$

$A/6 = B/4 = C/3$

A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3

6x + 4x + 3x = 7800

13 x = 7800

x = $7800/13$ = 600

B's income = 4x = 600 × 4 = Rs.2400
