Question : 1
Out of two numbers, 40% of the greater number is equal to 60% of the smaller. If the sum of the numbers is 150, then the greater number is
a) 90
b) 60
c) 70
d) 80
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let greater number be x.
Smaller number = 150 - x
According to the question,
${40 ×x}/100 = {60(150 - x)}/100$
2x = 3 × 150 - 3x
5x = 3 × 150
x = 90
Question : 2
The population of a village is 25,000. One fifth are females and the rest are males. 5% of males and 40% of females are uneducated. What percentage on the whole are educated?
a) 55%
b) 85%
c) 75%
d) 88%
Answer »Answer: (d)
Males = 25000 × $4/5$ = 20000
Females = 5000
Educated males = 20000 × $95/100$ = 19000
Educated females = ${5000 × 60}/100$ = 3000
Total educated persons = 22000
Required percent = $22000/25000 × 100$ = 88%
Question : 3
What percent of 3.5 kg is 70 gms ?
a) 5%
b) 2%
c) 3%
d) 4%
Answer »Answer: (b)
Required percentage = $70/{3.5 × 1000} × 100$ = 2%
Question : 4
If 50% of (x – y) = 30% of (x + y), then what per cent of x is y?
a) 40%
b) 400%
c) 25%
d) 33$1/3$%
Answer »Answer: (c)
50% of (x – y) = 30% of (x + y)
$1/2(x - y) = 3/10(x + y)$
$x/2 - {3x}/10 = {3y}/10 + y/2$
${5x – 3x}/10 ={3y + 5y}/10$
$x/5 = {4y}/5$ ⇒ x = 4y
$y = x/4 (or) x/4 ×100% = 25x$
Obviously, y is 25% of x
Question : 5
A dozen pairs of socks quoted at Rs.180 are available at discount of 20%. How many pairs of socks can be bought for Rs.48?
a) 2 pairs
b) 5 pairs
c) 3 pairs
d) 4 pairs
Answer »Answer: (d)
Since S.P. of a dozen pairs of socks = ${180 × 80}/100$ = Rs.144
S.P. of 1 pair of socks = $144/12$ = Rs.12
No of pairs available for Rs.48 = $48/12$ = 4
Question : 6
$2/3$ is what percent of $1/3$ ?
a) 150%
b) 200%
c) 50%
d) 33$1/3$%
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let x % of $1/3 = 2/3$
x% = ${2×3}/3$=2⇒ x = 200%
