Answers & Solutions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s say B’s income is 100
\nHence A’s income will be 50
\nNow B’s income is 50 more than A’s
\nHence it is\u00a0$\\frac{50}{50}\\times100$ percent ($\\frac{d}{Ai}\\times100$ where d is difference in income and Ai is A’s income) more than A’s<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s say 1.14 is $x$ percent of 1.9
\nhence 1.14 = $\\frac{1.9\\times x}{100}$
\n$x$ will be 60<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given 60% of A = 48% of B
\nHence A:B = 48 : 60
\nor \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A:B = 4 : 5<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s say price of article is 100
\nAfter first increase its price will be 100(1+ $\\frac{10}{100}$) = 110
\nNow second increment will be applied on 110
\nHence new price will be 110(1+ $\\frac{10}{100}$ ) = 121
\nWhich is 21 more than before any increment
\nHence total percentage increment = 21<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Require sum of 1+3+5+7+9….99
\nApplying formula for summation of n digits with a as first digit and d is the difference
\nsum =\u00a0$\\frac{n}{2} (2a + (n-1) d)$
\nor this formula can be reduced to\u00a0$\\frac{n}{2}\u00a0\\frac{a + l}{2} $hence for calculating avg. it will be
\n$\\frac{a + l}{2}$ (where $l$ is last term)
\nso\u00a0$\\frac{1\u00a0+ 99}{2}$ = 50<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

let’s say B’s income is 100
\nA’s income will be 75
\nB’s income is 25 greater than A’s
\nhence B’s income is\u00a0$\\frac{25}{75} \\times 100$ percent more than A’s<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

let’s say marked price 100
\nso for first discount of 30% selling price will be 70
\nand for two successive discounts of 20% and 10% selling price will be 72 and difference will be 2
\nnow when difference between both selling prices is 2, marked price is 100
\nso when difference between both selling prices is 72, marked price will be\u00a0$\\frac{100}{2} \\times 72$ = 3600<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

let’s say amount of electricity bill is 100
\nso reduction will be 4
\nhence when reduction is 4 amount of electricity bill is 100
\nnow when reduction is 13 amount of electricity bill will be\u00a0$\\frac{100}{4}\\times 13$<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can assume that discount is on a price of 100
\nso after first discount of 10% its value will be = 90
\nnow after second consecutive discount of 20% its value will be $90(1-\\frac{20}{100})$=72
\nand after third consecutive discount of 30% its value will be $72(1-\\frac{30}{100})$=50.4
\nhence it is a equivalent to a single discount of 100-50.4=49.6<\/p>\n

10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s say its original price is 100
\nhence after first increment of 10% its value will be 110.
\nand after second consecutive increment of 20% its value will be 132
\nso when its value becomes 132 , original price is 100
\nnow when its value becomes 33 , original price will be $\\frac{100}{132} \\times 33$<\/p>\n

11)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s say side of square is 100 unit
\nits area will be $10^{4} unit^{2}$
\nafter 10% increment its value will be 110 unit
\nand area will become $1.21 \\times 10^{4} unit^{2}$
\nchange in area\u00a0\u00a0$ .21 \\times 10^{4} unit^{2}$
\npercentage change will be 21<\/p>\n

12)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

let’s say length is 100 and width is also 100 hence area will be $10^{4}$ \u00a0$unit^{2}$
\nafter 10% increase, length will be 110 and 10% decrease in width, it will be 90 and area will be 9900\u00a0\u00a0$unit^{2}$
\n%change in area will be = $\\frac{100}{10000}\\times100$ = 1%<\/p>\n

13)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

C does $\\frac{1}{20}$ amount of work in a day.
\nAnd A+B do twice of work as much done by C or A+B=2C or $\\frac{2}{20}$.
\nSo A+B+C together will do $\\frac{2}{20}+\\frac{1}{20}=\\frac{3}{20}$ amount of work in a day.
\nAnd complete work will be done in $\\frac{20}{3}$ days.<\/p>\n

14)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having a gain of 12.5%, selling price will be $800 \\times \\frac{112.5}{100} = 900$
\nSo after having a discount of 10% on marked selling price is 900
\nHence\u00a0marked price will be = $900 \\times \\frac{100}{90} = 1000$<\/p>\n

15)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

After having 20% discount price will be = $1500 \\times \\frac{80}{100}$ = 1200
\nSo for net price of 1104 discount should be 1200-1104 = 96
\n%discount = $\\frac{96}{1200} \\times 100$ = 8%<\/p>\n

16)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s initial price is $x$, and sale is $y$ so revenue will be $xy$
\nAfter having discount of 20%, initial price will be $\\frac{80x}{100}$ and sale will be $\\frac{180y}{100}$ , hence new revenue is $1.44xy$.
\nIncrement in revenue will be $0.44xy$ i.e. equal to 44%<\/p>\n

17)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Initial price $x$ (say) and consumption is $y$ , hence expense will be $xy$.<\/p>\n

After price increment price is $\\frac{120x}{100}$ and expense should remain $xy$.<\/p>\n

Hence\u00a0$\\frac{120x}{100} \\times N=xy$ (where N is new expense)
\n$ N=\\frac{100y}{120} $<\/p>\n

Decrement in consumption is=$\\frac{20y}{120}$ or $\\frac{50}{3}$ %<\/p>\n

18)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s say total number of workers are $x$.
\nHence above 30 years workers will be\u00a0$\\frac{60x}{100}$
\nAnd male workers will be\u00a0$\\frac{60x}{100} \\times \\frac{75}{100}$ = 1350 (given)
\nSo x will be = 3000.<\/p>\n

19)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marked price = 480
\ndiscount = 10%
\nSelling price = 480 – $\\frac{480 \\times 10}{100}$ = 432
\nGain = 8%
\nCost price = $ 432 \\times (\\frac{100}{108})$\u00a0=\u00a0400
\nAfter no discount ,gain will be = 480-400 = 80
\nPercentage gain = $\\frac{80}{400} \\times 100$ = 20%<\/p>\n

20)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selling price of 20 apples = 1000
\ngain = 20%
\nCost price of 20 will be = $\\frac{1000 \\times 100}{120} = \\frac{2500}{3}$
\nSo on cost price of 1000 amount of apples will be = $\\frac{20 \\times 3}{2500} \\times 1000$ = \u00a024<\/p>\n
