Latika spends 45% of her monthly income on food and 30% of the monthly income on transport. Remaining amount Rs.4500 She saves. What is her monthly income?
Answer: (a)
Percentage of income saved

x = 4500 × $100/25$ = 18000
10% of the inhabitants of a village having died of cholera, a panic set in, during which 25% of the remaining inhabitants left the village. The population is then reduced to 4050. Find the number of original inhabitants.
Answer: (a)
Let the total number of original inhabitants be x.
Then, (100 – 25)% of (100 –10)% of x = 4050
⇒ $(75/100 × 90/100 × x) = 4050$
⇒ $27/40x = 4050$
⇒ $x = ({4050 × 40}/27) = 6000.$
∴ Number of original inhabitants = 6000.
72% of the students of a certain class took Biology and 44% took Mathematics. If each student took Biology or Mathematics and 40 took both, the total number of students in the class was
Answer: (c)
Let the total number of students in the class be x.
Mathematics = ${72x}/100 - 40$
Biology = ${44x}/100 - 40$
Both = 40
${72x}/100 - 40 + 40 + {44x}/100 - 40 = x$
${72x}/100 + {44x}/100 - x = 40$
${(72 + 44 - 100)x}/100 = {16x}/100 = 40$
$x = {40 × 100}/16 = 250$
A person sold an article from Rs. 3600 and got a profit of 20%. Had he sold the article for Rs. 3150, how much profit would he have got?
Answer: (a)
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x
After 20% profit
${120x}/100 = 3600$ ⇒ x = 3000
Now, profit percentage, when the article is sold for Rs.3150
= ${3150 - 3000}/3000 × 100 = 150/3000 × 100$ = 5%
