Question No. : 20

QNo:- 1 ,Correct Answer:- C

Explanation:-
Suppose the price of the toothpaste is Rs. 10. In the first offer, the price per gram would be Rs. 10/130 while in the second offer, the
price per gram would be Rs. 7/100. So the first offer is costlier than the second offer by 10/130 – 7/100 = Rs. 9/1300. Hence the
first offer is costlier than the second one by 9/1300 ÷ 7/100 × 100 = 9.89%. So the answer is 3rd option.

QNo:- 2 ,Correct Answer:- D

Explanation:-
75% of the total population consists of:
50000 people suffering of TB, 40000 suffering from hypertension and 15000 TB and Hypertension both. So the population of
unhealthy people is 50000 + 40000 – 15000 = 75000. Since 75000 = 75% of total population, so total population = 100000.
So,the correct answer is option D.

QNo:- 3 ,Correct Answer:- A

Explanation:-
20% of 160 + 5% of 960 = Z % of 400 => 32 + 48 = Z % of 400 => Z = 80/4 = 20.

QNo:- 4 ,Correct Answer:- C

Explanation:-
Let Gopal have Rs. 400. The price of an orange is then Rs. 8 and that of a mango is Rs.10.
If he keeps 10% of the money for taxi fare, he is left with Rs.360.
Now if he buys 20 mangoes i.e. if he spends 200 Rs., he is left with Rs.160, in which he can buy 20 oranges.

QNo:- 5 ,Correct Answer:- B

Explanation:-
Let us look at the two equations.
Let (5 pens + 7 pencils + 4 erasers) cost Rs. x.
Hence, (6 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers) will cost Rs. 1.5x.
Had, in the second case, Rajan decided to buy 10 pens instead of 6, the quantity of each one of them would have doubled over the
first case and hence it would have cost me Rs. 2x.
So (10 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers) = Rs. 2x.
Now subtracting the second equation from the third, we get 4 pens cost Rs. 0.5x.
Since 4 pens cost Re 0.5x, 5 of them will cost Re 0.625x.
This is the amount that I spent on pens.
Hence, fraction of the total amount paid = 0.625 = 62.5%.

QNo:- 6 ,Correct Answer:- A

Explanation:-
Students please note that the percentages that are given are the basic percentages derived from basic fractions.

Hence, you should make the most of this knowledge. So let the CP be Re 1.

Alternative method:

z = Gain percentage
x = Percentage above CP
y = Discount percentage

or 1428 + 1111 = 88.89x


or x = 28.56% (Approximately)

Explanation:-

QNo:- 10 ,Correct Answer:- C

Explanation:-
Let the number be 100. When it is increased by 33.33% it becomes 133.33. Now to reach at the original number 133.33 should be
decreased by 33.33. So reqd. %age = 33.33 x 100 / 133.33 = 25%.

QNo:- 11 ,Correct Answer:- A

Explanation:- Let the original price per kg = P


Given, 400/P - 400/1.25P = 20
Solving, P = 4
Hence, increased price per kg = 1.25P = 5

QNo:- 17 ,Correct Answer:- D

Explanation:-
30% of 180 = 45% of Y => Y = 54/0.45 => Y = 120.

QNo:- 18 ,Correct Answer:- B

Explanation:-
z = x2/y. As values of x and y are increased by 10%, therefore new z becomes (1.1x × 1.1 y) / 1.1 y => z increased by 10%.

QNo:- 19 ,Correct Answer:- B

Explanation:-
Let the number be = x
Given, 75% of x + 75 = x
Solving, x = 300

QNo:- 20 ,Correct Answer:- C

Explanation:-
Suppose the capacity of the bucket is X litres. When it is 80% full, it contains 4X/5 litres.
When it is 66 2/3 % full, it contains 2X/3 litres. So, 4X/5 = 2X/3 + 2.
