In an assembly election at Surat, the total turnout was 80% out of which 16% of the total voters on the voting list were declared invalid. Find which of the following can be the percentage votes got by the winner of the election if the candidate who came second got 20% of the total voters on the voting list. (There were only three contestants, only one winner and the total number of voters on the voters' list was 20000.)
Answer: (d)
Out of a total of 100% votes; 80% voted. 16% were invalid and 20% went to the second placed candidate.
This means that the maximum the winner can get is 44%.
Options a, b and c are greater than 44% and hence cannot be correct.
Hence, none of these.
125% of 3060 – 85% of ? = 408
Answer: (d)
$3060 × 125/100 - ? × 85/100 = 408$
3825 – 408 = ? × $85/100$
${3417 × 100}/85$ = ?
4020 = ?
In an election between two candidates, the candidate who gets 30% of the votes polled is defeated by 15,000 votes. What is the number of votes polled by the winning candidate ?
Answer: (b)
Let the total number of votes be x
∴ votes polled by winning candidate
= (100 – 30)% of x = 70% of x
Now, 70% of x – 30% of x = 15,000
⇒ 40% of x = 15,000
⇒ $x = {15000 × 100}/40 = 37,500$
∴ number of votes polled by winning candidate
= 70% of 37500
= ${70 × 37500}/100 = 26,250$
The difference between 42% and 28% of a number is 210. What is 59% of that number?
Answer: (a)
Difference in % = 42 – 28 = 14%
∴ Number = ${210 × 100}/14$ = 1500
∴ Required answer = $59/100$ × 1500 = 885
A shopkeeper purchased 200 bulbs for Rs. 10 each. However, 5 bulbs were fused and had to be thrown away. The remaining were sold at Rs. 12 each. What will be the percentage profit ?
Answer: (d)
Total cost price = 200 × 10 = Rs. 2000
Total selling price = 12 × 195 = Rs. 2340
∴ Profit per cent = ${2340 – 2000}/2000 × 100$ = 17%
