Answer Key with Explanation

1. Answer: A 2. Answer: C
Here passing mark is equal. So, Total votes = 5400
(30/100)*x + 13 = (44/100)*x – 15 Valid votes = 5400 * 95/100 = 5130
(14/100)*x = 28 Candidate votes = 5130 * 60/100 = 3078
X = 28*(100/14) = 200
Maximum mark = 200 3. Answer: B
B’s savings = 1800

QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE – PERCENTAGE SET-2 (Eng)

B’s expenditure = 60/40 * 1800 = 2700 Remaining=x – x/5 – 3x/10

B’s income = 2700 + 1800 = 4500 =x/2
A’s income = 120/100 * 4500 = 5400 Shopping=x/2 * 80/100
A’s expenditure = 2700 * 140/100 = 3780 Remaining=x/2 * 20/100
A’s savings = 5400 – 3780 = 1620 x/2 * 20/100=800
x=Rs.8000
4. Answer: B
18% of the total number of TOI readers = 8% of 7. Answer: E
the total number of The Hindu readers Let the initial price of the wheat=Rs.x
TOI readers/The Hindu readers = 8/18 = 4/9 Consumption of the wheat=y kg
Let TOI readers = 4a then The Hindu readers = Expenditure=x * y=xy
9a After increasing the price=x * 120/100=1.2x
According to the question, 9a = 7560 After decreasing consumption of the wheat=y *
a = 840 80/100=0.8y
The number of TOI readers = 4a = 840*4 = Required percentage= [(xy – 1.2x * 0.8y)/xy]*
3360 100
=(0.04/1) * 100
5. Answer: D =4%
Let the marks obtained by Ritesh is 4x
Marks obtained by Rakesh = 75/100 * 4x = 3x 8. Answer: D
Marks obtained by Ram = 120/100 * 3x = 18/5x (3/5)x + (42/100)x = 255
= 3.6x (60x + 42x)/ 100 = 255
ATQ, (102x/100) = 255
4x - 3.6x = 16 x= 255*(100/102) = 250
0.4x = 16 54 % of the number = 250*(54/100) = 135
x = 40
Rakesh score = 40 * 3 = 120 9. Answer: B
Percentage = 120/200 * 100 = 60% Population after 3 years
= > 1200000*(115/100)*(115/100)*(115/100)

In May, his weight = 90% of a = 0.9a kg A’s income=80/100 * B=4B/5

In June, his weight = 90% of 0.9a = 0.81a kg A’s income=100/60 * 18000=30000
In July, his weight = 90% of 0.81a = 0.729a = A’s saving=30000 * 40/100=12000
87.48 kg B’s savings=12000 * 120/100=14400
a = 87.48/0.729 = 120 kg B’s income=5/4 * 30000=37500
Or Expenditure of B=37500 – 14400=23100
In April his weight = 87.48 * 100/90 * 100/90 *
100/90 = 120 kg 14. Answer: C
Salary = x
11. Answer: D Education fee = 40/100 * x
Total amount received by NGO A =100/30 * Shopping = 20/100 * x
1020=Rs. 3400 House rent = 40x/100
Total amount with Rahul=132/17 * Difference = 40x/200 – 20x/100 = 4000
3400=Rs.26400 20x = 400000
x = Rs.20000
12. Answer: A
Let total marks be x. 15. Answer: C
Then, 225 = (48/100) * x + 9 Let the maximum aggregate marks be x,
x=450 (12/100)*x = 750 – 606
Minimum passing mark= (40/100) * 450=180 (12/100)*x = 144
Required Difference=225 – 180=45 x = 144*(100/12) = 1200
Maximum aggregate marks = 1200
13. Answer: B
