Question :6

A sum of Rs. 4558 is divided among A, B and C such that A receives 20% more than C, and C receives 25% less than B. What is A's share in the amount ?

Answer: (c)

Let B get Rs. x.

Then C gets = 75% of $x = {3x}/4$

and A gets = 120% of ${3x}/4 = 120/100 × {3x}/4 = {9x}/10$

Now, ${9x}/10 + {3x}/4 + x = 4558$

⇒ ${53x}/20 = 4558 ⇒ x = {4558 × 20}/53$ = 1720

Hence, A's share = ${9x}/10$ = Rs. ${9 × 1720}/10$ = Rs. 1548

Question :7

Akash scored 73 marks in subject A. He scored 56% marks in subject B and X marks in subject C. Maximum marks in each subject were 150. The overall percentage marks obtained by Akash in all the three subjects together were 54%. How many marks did he score in subject C?

Answer: (a)

Marks scored in subject B

= 150 × 56% = 84

Total marks scored in all the 3 subjects

= (150 × 3) × 54% = 243

Marks scored in subject C

= 243 – 73 – 84 = 86

Question :8

Answer: (d)

Working with options, we have

 Original numberNew numberDifference
a223412
b639633
c243814

Obviously, (d) is the correct option.

Question :9

What is the number whose 20% is 30% of 40?

Answer: (c)

Let the number be x

According to question 20% of x = 30% of 40

${x × 20}/100 = {40 × 30}/100$

$x = {40 × 30}/20 = 60$

Question :10

5% of income of A is equal to 15% of income of B and 10% of income of B is equal to 20% of income of C. If C's income is Rs. 2000, then the total income of A, B and C is :

Answer: (c)

$5/100 A = 15/100 B and 10/100 B = 20/100 C ⇒ A = 3B$ and

B = 2C = 2 × 2000 = 4000.

∴ A = 3 × 4000 = 12000.

Hence, A + B + C = (12000 + 4000 + 2000) = 18000.
