b) 200%

c) 50%

Question : 28 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2013]

A dozen pairs of socks quoted at Rs.180 are available at discount of 20%. How many pairs of socks can be bought for Rs.48?

a) 2 pairs

b) 5 pairs

c) 3 pairs

d) 4 pairs

Shortcut »

Answer: (d)

Since S.P. of a dozen pairs of socks = ${180 × 80}/100$ = Rs.144

S.P. of 1 pair of socks = $144/12$ = Rs.12

No of pairs available for Rs.48 = $48/12$ = 4

Question : 29

If 50% of (x – y) = 30% of (x + y), then what per cent of x is y?

a) 40%

b) 400%

c) 25%

d) 33$1/3$%

Shortcut »

Answer: (c)

50% of (x – y) = 30% of (x + y)

$1/2(x - y) = 3/10(x + y)$

$x/2 - {3x}/10 = {3y}/10 + y/2$

${5x – 3x}/10 ={3y + 5y}/10$

$x/5 = {4y}/5$ ⇒ x = 4y

$y = x/4 (or) x/4 ×100% = 25x$

Obviously, y is 25% of x

a) 200%

b) 300%

c) 100%

d) 150%

Shortcut »

Answer: (b)

$1/3 of 1206 = 1206 × 1/3 = 402$

Required percent = $402/134$ × 100 = 300%
