Question : 16 [SSC CGL Prelim 2005]
Given that 10% of A's income = 15% of B's income = 20% of C's income. If sum of their income is Rs.7800, then B's income is:
a) Rs.2400
b) Rs.3000
c) Rs.3600
d) Rs.1800
Answer »Answer: (a)
10% of A = 15% of B = 20% of C
10A = 15B = 20C
${10A}/60 = {15B}/60 = {20C}/60$
$A/6 = B/4 = C/3$
A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3
6x + 4x + 3x = 7800
13 x = 7800
x = $7800/13$ = 600
B's income = 4x = 600 × 4 = Rs.2400
Question : 17 [SSC DEO 2008]
A man spends 40% of his monthly salary on food and one-third of the remaining on transport. If he saves Rs.4,500 per month, which is equal to half the balance after spending on food and transport, his monthly salary is
a) Rs.25,000
b) Rs.22,500
c) Rs.11,250
d) Rs.45,000
Answer »Answer: (b)
Suppose monthly income of the man is Rs. x.
Expenditure on food = 40% of x = Rs.${2x}/5$
Remaining amount = x - ${2x}/5= Rs.{3x}/5$
Expenditure on transport = $1/3 × {3x}/5 = Rs.x/5$
Remaining amount = ${3x}/5 - x/5 = {2x}/5$
According to question $1/2 × {2x}/5 = 4500$
x = 4500 × 5 = Rs.22,500
Question : 18 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2010]
If A's income is 25% less than B's income, by how much percent is B's income more than that of A ?
a) 33$1/3$%
b) 30%
c) 25%
d) 66$2/3$%
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 9,
Shortcut method
Required percentage = $25/{100 - 25}×100$
= $100/3 = 33{1}/3%$
Question : 19 [SSC SO 2005]
The monthly income of a person was Rs.13,500 and his monthly expenditure was Rs.9,000. Next year his income increased by 14% and his expenditure increased by 7%. The per cent increase in his savings was
a) 28%
b) 21%
c) 7%
d) 35%
Answer »Answer: (a)
Original savings = Rs.(13500 – 9000) = Rs.4500
New income = 114% of Rs.13500 = Rs.(114 × 135) = Rs.15390
New expenditure = 107% of Rs.9000 = Rs.(107 × 90) = Rs.9630
New savings = Rs.(15390 – 9630) = Rs.5760
Percentage increase in savings = ${5760 – 4500}/4500$ × 100
= $1260/45$ = 28%
Question : 20

a) 25 %
b) 24 %
c) 20 %

Answer »Answer: (c)
