percentage Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps clerk prelims 2024

Question :11

In an election of 3 candidates A, B and C, A gets 50% more votes than B. A also beats C by 1,80,00 votes. If it is known that B gets 5 percentage more votes than C, find the number of voters on the voting list (given 90% of the voters on the voting list voted and no votes were illegal)

Answer: (d)

The only values that fit this situation are C 25%, B 30%, and A 45%.

These are the percentage of votes polled.

(Note: these values can be got either through trial and error or through solving c + c + 5 + 1.5(c + 5) = 100%

Then, 20% is 18000 (the difference between A & C.)

Hence, 90000 people must have voted and 100000 people must have been on the voter's list.

Question :12

There were two candidates in an election. 10% of the voters did not vote. 60 votes were declared invalid. The elected candidate got 308 votes more than his opponent. If the elected candidate got 47% of the total votes, how many votes did each candidate get?

Answer: (a)

Only option (d) has difference of 308 and only 2914 is divisible by 47.

Question :13

The income of A is 150% of the income of B and the income of C is 120% of the income of A. If the total income of A, B and C together is Rs. 86000, what is C’s income ?

Answer: (d)

Suppose Income of B = Rs. x

Income of A = $150/100 × x = Rs. {3x}/2$

Income of C = $120/100 × {3x}/2$

$6/5 × {3x}/2 = {9x}/5$

$x + {3x}/2 + {9x}/5 = 86000$

${10x + 15x + 18x}/10 = 86000$

43x = 860000

x = 20000

So, income of C = $9/5 × 20000$ = Rs. 36000

Question :14

40% of 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% of ?

Answer: (c)

40% of 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% of ?

⇒ 265 × 0.4 + 180 × 0.35 = ? × 0.5

⇒ 106 + 63 = ? × 0.5

⇒ ? = $169/0.5$ = 338

Question :15

Sumitra has an average of 56% on her first 7 examinations. How much should she make on her eighth examination to obtain an average of 60% on 8 examinations?

Answer: (d)

Since the weightage of eighth examination is not known, hence can not be determined.
