The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (e)

Prot% = 13$1/3$% = $2/15$

Profit = Rs. 2X

Cost price = Rs. 13X

Using the data provided in the question, we get

15X × 92.5% = 1110

Answer: (e)

Number of students who failed in class A

Total numbers of failed students

= 128 + 72 = 200

Hence, the answer is E.

a) 380

b) 420

c) 460

d) 480

e) 500

Answer: (b)

The number of members of sports club B, who participated in the event = 20% of 9000 = 1800

The number of members of sports club B, who played Badminton

= 30% of 1800 = 540

Hence, the number of members of sports club B, who played Football

= $3/\text"(2 + 4 + 3)"$ × (1800 – 540) = 420.

 

Question : 5

What is the difference of the number of members participated in the event from the sports clubs B and C and the number of members not participated in the event from the sports clubs D and E?

a) 7400

b) 2400

c) 3600

d) 4400

e) 3000

Answer: (d)

The number of members of sports club B, who participated in the event

= 20% of 9000 = 1800

The number of members of sports club C, who participated in the event

= 25% of 4800 = 1200

The number of members of sports club D, who did not participate in the event

= (100 – 30)% of 5000 = 3500

The number of members of sports club E, who did not participate in the event

= (100 – 35)% of 6000 = 3900

then required difference = (3500 + 3900) – (1800 + 1200)

= 4400.

 

Question : 6

What is the average number of members not participated in the event from the sports clubs A, B, D, E and F?

a) 3990

b) 3610

c) 4060

d) 3570

e) 4010

Answer: (e)

The number of members of sports club A, who did not participate in the event

= (100 – 65)% of 4000

= 35% of the 4000 = 1400

The number of members of sports club B, who did not participate in the event

= (100 – 20)% of 9000 = 7200

The number of members of sports club D, who did not participate in the event

= (100 – 30)% of 5000 = 3500

The number of members of sports club E, who did not participate in the event

= (100 – 35)% of 6000 = 3900

The number of members of sports club F, who did not participate in the event

= (100 – 40)% of 6750 = 4050

Hence, the required average

= $\text"1400 + 7200 + 3500 + 3900 + 4050"/5$ = 4010.
