Shyam had three note books X, Y and Z. Of these, X had 120 pages, Y had 10% more and Z had 10% less. If he tore out 5%, 10% and 15% of pages in X, Y and Z respectively, then what percent of total pages did he tear out?
Total number of books shyam had,
X = 120, Y = (1.1 x 120) = 132, Z = (0.9 x 120) = 108
Total number of books he tore,
X = 5 % of X = (0.05 x 120) = 6
Y = 10% of Y = (0.1 X 132) = 13.2
Z = 15% of Z = (0.15 x 108) = 16.2
Percentage of books he tore,
$$\Rightarrow \frac{6 + 13.2 + 16.2}{120 + 132 + 108}$$ x 100
$$\Rightarrow \frac{35.4}{360}$$ x 100 = 9.83%
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
