Question :26

The population of a town is 126800. It increases by 15% in the 1st year and decreases by 20% in the 2nd year. What is the population of the town at the end of 2 years?

Answer: (c)

Population at the end of 2nd year

= $126800 × (1 + 15/100) × (1 - 20/100)$

= $126800 × 115/100 × 80/100$ =116656

Question :27

The difference between 42% of a number and 35% of the same number is 110.6. What is 60% of that number?

Answer: (a)

According to the question,

(42 - 35)% of x = 110.6

or, number = ${110.6 × 100}/7 = 1580$

60% of 1580 = ${1580 × 60}/100 = 948$

Question :28

36% of 4800 × 0.2% of 1320 = ?

Answer: (c)

$? = 36/100 × 4800 × 0.2/100 × 1320$

= 1728 × 2.64 = 4561.92

Question :29

920 × ? % of 7.5 = 2898

Answer: (c)

${920 × ? × 7.5}/100 = 2898$

or ? = ${2898 × 100}/{920 × 7.5} = 42$

Question :30

A student was awarded certain marks in an examination. However, after re-evaluation, his marks were reduced by 40% of the marks that were originally awarded to him so that the new score now became 96. How many marks did the student lose after re-evaluation?

Answer: (e)

Let the marks originally awarded be x.

x - 40% of x = 96

$x - {40x}/100 = 96 ⇒ {60x}/100 = 96$

$x = {96 × 100}/60$, ⇒ x = 160
