Instructions

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions.

Note:: Total marks obtained by a girl = Marks obtained by that girl in Reasoning + Marks obtained by that girl in Quant + Marks obtained by that girl in English.

Question 9: If the marks obtained by Ravina in Reasoning is 7.69% more than the marks obtained by Dipshikha in Reasoning and the total marks obtained by Chinky is the same as Ravina, then find out the sum of marks obtained by Ravina in Quant and English together.

a) 184

b) 196

c) 188

d) 192

Solution:

If the marks obtained by Ravina in Reasoning is 7.69% more than the marks obtained by Dipshikha in Reasoning.
Marks obtained by Ravina in Reasoning = (14/13) of 65 = 70
Total marks obtained by Chinky is the same as Ravina.
Total marks obtained by Chinky = Total marks obtained by Ravina = 254
Sum of marks obtained by Ravina in Quant and English together = 254-70
= 184
Hence, option a is the correct answer.

Question 10: If the total marks obtained by Savita is one fifth the sum of the marks obtained by all the four girls together, then find the total marks obtained by Savita.

a) 187

b) 193

c) 195

d) 189

Solution:

If the total marks obtained by Savita is one fifth the sum of the marks obtained by all the four girls together.
Total marks obtained by Savita = ⅕ of sum of the marks obtained by all the four girls together.
= ⅕ of (232+239+254+220)
= ⅕ of 945
= 189
Hence, option d is the correct answer.

Question 11: What is the difference between the total marks obtained by all the four girls in Reasoning and the total marks obtained by all the four girls in Quant?

a) 7

b) 6

c) 8

d) 9

Solution:

Difference = (85+66+94+65) – (78+81+73+72)
= 310-304
= 6
Hence, option b is the correct answer.

Question 12: Find out the sum of the marks obtained by all the four girls in English.

a) 223

b) 327

c) 331

d) 339

Solution:

Sum of the marks obtained by all the four girls in English = 69+92+87+83
= 331
Hence, option c is the correct answer.

Question 13: The following pie chart shows the percentage distribution of expenditure on different expenses and savings out of the total monthly salary of a person:

If the difference between the monthly amount spent on Food and Transport is Rs.280, then find the total monthly amount spent on Rent and Food together.

a) Rs.4800

b) Rs.6400

c) Rs.5600

d) Rs.8400

Solution:

Let his monthly salary be Rs.x.
Given, 24% of x – 22% of x = 280
2% of x = 280
x = $\dfrac{280\times100}{2} = 14000$.

Hence, The total amount spent on rent and food together = (36+24)% of 14000 = 60% of 14000 = Rs.8400.

Question 14: The following bar graph shows the total population of five villages (in thousands) and the number of females out of them:

What is the ratio between the number of males in Villages P and Q together and the number of males in Villages S and T together respectively?

a) 17:13

b) 19:17

c) 19:13

d) 13:17

Solution:

The required ratio = (36000-16000+42000-24000) : (24000-18000+40000-20000) = 38000 : 26000 = 19:13

Question 15: The following bar graph shows the number of tickets booked to four cities and the percentage of tickets cancelled out of them:

In which of the following cities, the number of tickets which were not cancelled is the highest?

b) Delhi

c) Lucknow

d) Mumbai

Solution:

Number of tickets not cancelled to Hyderabad = (100-40)% of 480 = 60% of 480 = 288.
Number of tickets not cancelled to Delhi = (100-25)% of 560 = 75% of 560 = 420.
Number of tickets not cancelled to Mumbai = (100-35)% of 320 = 65% of 320 = 208.
Number of tickets not cancelled to Lucknow = (100-50)% of 360 = 50% of 360 = 180.

Here, We can say that the number of tickets not cancelled to Delhi is the highest.

Question 16: The following bar graph shows the number of boys and girls in five classes of a school:

What is the difference between the total number of students (boys+girls) in Class VI and the number of boys in Class IX and X together?

a) 8

b) 6

c) 4

d) 2

Solution:

Total number of students in Class VI = 42+38 = 80.
Number of boys in Class IX and X together = 32+54 = 86.

Hence, The required difference = 86 – 80 = 6.

Instructions

In a class test, five students Rohit, Rahul, Prakash, Pranav, and Ajay scored different marks in Mathematics in degrees.

Question 17: What percentage of marks have been obtained by Pranav in the given subject?

a) 80%

b) 75%

c) 60%

d) Can’t be determined

Solution:

As we don’t know the maximum marks of the subject and the value of 75° so we are not able to calculate the percentage of marks of Pranav in the given subject.

Question 18: By how much percent the marks obtained by Ajay is more than the marks obtained by Prakash?

a) 25%

b) 20%

c) 30%

d) Can’t be determined

Solution:

The marks obtained by Ajay and Prakash is 75° and 60° respectively.
Percentage of marks of Ajay more than Prakash
= (75-60)/60
= 15/60 = 25%

Question 19: What could be the marks obtained by Rahul, if the marks obtained by Rohit is 140.

a) 150

b) 160

c) 175

d) None of the above

Solution:

From the pie-chart, we get the marks obtained by Rohit in degrees is 70 which is equal to the given 140 marks.
So, 70° = 140
1° = 2
So, the marks obtained by the Rahul in degree is 80° i.e. 80 x 2 = 160.

Question 20: What is the respective ratio between the marks obtained by Prakash and Pranav in Mathematics?

a) 5:4

b) 10:13

c) 4:5

d) Can’t be determined
