Question :7

In a city, 35% of the population is composed of migrants, 20% of whom are from rural areas. Of the local population, 48% is female while this figure for rural and urban migrants is 30% and 40% respectively. If the total population of the city is 728400, what is its female population ?

Answer: (d)

Migrants = 35% of 728400

= $({35x}/100 × 728400)$ = 254940.

Local population = (728400 – 254940) = 473460

Rural population = 20% of 473460 = 94692.

Urban population = (254940 – 94692) = 160248.

∴ Female population = 48% of 473460 + 30% of 94692 + 40% of 160248

= $(48/100 × 473460 + 30/100 × 94692 + 40/100 × 160248)$

= 227260.8 + 28407.6 + 64099.2 = 896660.

Question :8

(23.6% of 1254) – (16.6% of 834) = ?

Answer: (b)

? = (23.6% of 1254) – (16.6% of 834)

295.944 – 138.444 = 157.5

Question :9

25% of 1078 + 182% of 668 = ?

Answer: (e)

? ≈ ${25 × 1080}/100 + {180 × 670}/100 ≈270+1206$

= 1476 ≈ 1475

Question :10

In an examination, Raman scored 25 marks less than Rohit. Rohit scored 45 more marks than Sonia. Rohan scored 75 marks which is 10 more than Sonia. Ravi's score is 50 less than, maximum marks of the test. What approximate percentage of marks did Ravi score in the examination, if he gets 34 marks more than Raman?

Answer: (a)

Rohan's marks = 75

Sonia's marks = 65

Rohit's marks = 65 + 45 = 110

Raman's marks = 110 – 25 = 85

Ravi got marks = 85 + 34 = 119

Total maximum marks = 119 + 50 = 169

Percentage of Ravi's mark = $119/169 × 100%$ = 70.4% = 70%
