The following question based on percentage topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : A number is divided into two parts in such a way that 80% of 1st part is 3 more than 60% of 2nd part and 80% of 2nd part is 6 more than 90% of the 1st part. Then the number is

(a) 135

(b) 145

(c) 125

(d) 130

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

First part =Rs.x and second part = Rs.y.

${x × 80}/100 = {y × 60}/100 +3$

${4x}/5 = {3y}/5 +3$

4x – 3y = 15 ...(i)

Again, ${4y}/5 = {9x}/10 + 6$

8y = 9x + 60

8y – 9x = 60 ...(ii)

By equation (i) × 8 + (ii) × 3,

32x – 24y = 120

24y – 27x = 180

By adding the above two equation.We get,

5x = 300 ⇒ x = 60

From equation (i)

4 × 60 - 3y = 15

3y = 240 – 15 = 225

y = $225/3$ = 75

x + y = 60 + 75 = 135

Question : 1

If 20% of (A + B) = 50% of B, then value of $\text"2A - B"/ \text"2A + B"$ is

a) $1/4$

b) 1

c) $1/2$

d) $1/3$

Answer: (c)

(A + B) × $20/100 = B × 50/100$

${A + B}/ 5 = B/2$

2A + 2B = 5B

2A = 3B

${2A}/B$ = 3 or 2A = 3B

${2A - B}/{2A + B} = {2{A/B} - 1}/{2{A/B} + 1} = {3 - 1}/{3 + 1}$

= $2/4 = 1/2 = {3B - B}/{3B + B} = {2B}/{4B}$

Question : 2

If 125% of x is 100, then x is :

a) 400

b) 125

P × $50/100 = Q × 25/100$

P × 50 = Q × 25

P = ${Q × 25}/50 ⇒ P = Q/2$

P = Q x %

Q × $x/100 =Q/2$

x = $100/2$ = 50

$B/A × 100 = 3/4$ × 100 = 75%
