= Rs.( × ×100)= Rs. 121 𝐴𝐴×𝐵𝐵
100 100 [Successive percentage => A + B + ]
100
∴ Total increase :
Here, A = 20 & B = -10(decreased)
= (121 - 100)%
So, Putting A & B in the formula
= 21% (20)(−10)
=> 20 +(- 10) +

Let the total number of respondents be x.
23. Solution (1)
Percentage of uncertain individuals
Let the reduced weight be x kg.
= [100 – (20 + 60)]% = 20%.
Clearly, the quantity of pulp remains the same in
60% of x – 20% of x = 720 ⇒ 40% of x = 720

100 40
So, (100 – 96)% of 20 kg = (100 – 95)% of x kg

Let Milk = 𝑥𝑥 initially. Let maximum marks be 100x
∴ water = 70 − 𝑥𝑥 initially According to the question,
Acc. to question 30% of 100x + 25 = 40% of 100x – 50
3 70−𝑥𝑥 30x + 25 = 40x – 50

30. Solution (2) x = number of girls = 3a then y = number of boys
n (A) = A + 6, n (B) = (A -8), n (A ∩ B) = 28. = 5a
So, n (A U B) = n (A) + n(B) - n(A∩B) = A + 6 + 3
percentage= × 100=37.5%
8
A - 8 - 28 = 50.
Quantity II: Let the number of girls = x and the
A = 40
number of boys = y
then 33.33% of x = 66.67% of y
31. Solution (2)
x = 2y
Quantity I: Because percentage of girls = 60%,
x:y=2:1
So the percentage of boys = 100 – 60% = 40%
x = number of girls = 2a
Quantity II: Last year, Girls was 300× 50%
then y = number of boys = a
= 150, 2
percentage= ×100=66.66%
boys = 300 × 50% = 150 3
girls = 150 × 110% = 165, Therefore, Quantity : I < Quantity : II
boys = 300–165 = 135
135 33. Solution (2)
Percentage of boys = � � × 100
300 Let the number of boys = 4x and the number of

Quantity I: Let the number of girls = x and the 5
number of boys = y Number of girls left=45 × =25

then 50% of x = 30% of y the number of boys = 4x = 4 × 15 = 60 and
5x = 3y the number of girls = 5x = 5 × 15 = 75

When, 50% of the boys left then the remaining 36. Solution (2)
number of boys = 50% of 60 = 30 Quantity I:
Total students = 30 + 75 = 105 Let the ten’s digit and unit digit of the number be

According to the question,
Quantity : I < Quantity : II
(𝑥𝑥 + 𝑦𝑦)2 = 144
Therefore, x + y = 12........ (1)
34. Solution (1)
8 Also, 10x + y + 36 = 10y + x
Quantity I: the number of fit = 300 × = 160
15 Or, 9x – 9y = -36
The number of non - fit = 300 - 160 = 140 Or, x – y = -4....... (2)
The number of occasional exercise doers = 25% of On solving equation (1) and (2), we get
160 = 40 x = 4 and y = 8
The number of daily exercise doers = 160 - 40 = Therefore, the number is = 10x + y = 48

The total number of students who do gym = 60% Let the two numbers be 4x and 3x respectively.
of 300 = 180 According to the question,
The number of occasional exercise doer who do (3x + 8) = 0.775(4x + 8)
gym = 20% of 40 = 8 Or, 3x + 8 = 3.1x + 6.2
The total number of non - fit who do gym = 50% Or, 0.1x = 1.8
of 140 = 70 Or, x = 18
The number of students who are daily exercise Therefore, smaller number is 3x = 54
doer as well as do gym = 180 - 70 - 8 = 102
