a) 7

b) 8

c) 5

d) 6

Answer: (c)

a × $120/100 = b × 80/100$

$b/a = 120/80 = 3/2$

${b + a}/{b - a} = {b/a + 1}/{b/a - 1} = {3/2 + 1}/{3/2 - 1} = {5/2}/{1/2} = 5$

Question : 4

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%

x = 90
