  2. 1. Answer: Option 'C'
    33 1/3 % = 1/3
    1/3 × 240 = 80

    2. Answer: Option 'A'
    11 1/9 % = 1/9
    1/9 × 900 = 100

    3. Answer: Option 'C'
    2/5 × 100 % = 200/5 % = 40 %

    4. Answer: Option 'C'
    3/4 × 100 = 300/4 % = 75 %

    5. Answer: Option 'A'
    70/280 = 1/4
    1/4 × 100 = 25 %

    6. Answer: Option 'C'
    120/90 = 4/3
    4/3 × 100 = 400/3 = 133 1/3 %

    7. Answer: Option 'B'
    1 kg = 1000 gm
    5/1000 × 100 = 500/1000
    =1/2 = 0.5 %

    8. Answer: Option 'A'
    12 Rupees = 1200paisa's
    36/1200 × 100 = 3/12
    12/3 = 3 %

    9. Answer: Option 'C'
    Formula = TOTAL=100% ,INCRESE = "+" DECREASE= "-"
    A number means = 100 %
    That same number increased by 20 % = 120 %
    120 % -------> 480 (120 × 4 = 480)
    100 % -------> 400 (100 × 4 = 400)

    10. Answer: Option 'A'
    Let the marks secured by them be x and (x + 9)
    Then sum of their marks = x + (x + 9) = 2x + 9
    Given that (x + 9) was 56% of the sum of their marks
    =>(x+9) = 56/100(2x+9)
    =>(x+9) = 14/25(2x+9)
    => 25x + 225 = 28x + 126
    => 3x = 99
    => x = 33
    Then (x + 9) = 33 + 9 = 42
    Hence their marks are 33 and 42

  3. 11. Answer: Option 'C'
    20% of a = b
    => b = 20/100a
    b% of 20 = (b/100)20 = [(20/100a)/100]20
    = (20 × 20 × a)/(100 × 100)
    = 4a/100 = 4% of a

    12. Answer: Option 'C'
    Let the amount paid to X per week = x
    and the amount paid to Y per week = y
    Then x + y = 550
    But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10
    ∴12y/10 + y = 550
    ⇒ y[12/10 + 1] = 550
    ⇒ 22y/10 = 550
    ⇒ 22y = 5500
    ⇒ y = 5500/22 = 500/2 = Rs.250

    13. Answer: Option 'A'
    Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.25
    Given that out of this Rs.25, 30 Paise is given as tax
    => Total tax incurred = 30 Paise = Rs.30/100
    Let the cost of the tax free items = x
    Given that tax rate = 6%
    ∴ (25−30/100−x)6/100 = 30/100
    ⇒ 6(25 −0.3 −x) = 30
    ⇒ (25 − 0.3 − x) = 5
    ⇒ x = 25 − 0.3 − 5 = 19.7

    14. Answer: Option 'C'
    Quantity X Rate = Price
    1 x 1 = 1
    0.7 x 1.25 = 0.875
    Decrease in price = (0.125/1) × 100 = 12.5%

    15. Answer: Option 'A'
    State A and State B had an equal number of candidates appeared.
    In state A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates
    In state B, 7% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates
    But in State B, 80 more candidates got selected than State A
    From these, it is clear that 1% of the total appeared candidates in State B = 80
    => total appeared candidates in State B = 80 x 100 = 8000
    => total appeared candidates in State A = total appeared candidates in State B = 8000

    16. Answer: Option 'B'
    Formula = TOTAL=100% ,INCRESE = "+" DECREASE= "-"
    A number means = 100 %
    That same number Decreased by 20 % = 80 %
    80 % ------> 480 (80 × 6 = 480)
    100 % ------> 600 (100 × 6 = 600)

    17. Answer: Option 'B'
    20% = 20 × 4 = 80
    30% = 30 × 4= 120

    18. Answer: Option 'D'
    40% = 40 × 3 = 120
    90% = 90 × 3 = 270

    19. Answer: Option 'B'
    Farmula = AFTER INCREASED 10% × AFTER REDUCED 10%/TOTAL 100%
    = 110 × 90/100 = 99 %
    = Decreases by 1%

    20. Answer: Option 'C'
    Quantity X Rate = Price
    1 x 1 = 1
    0.7 x 1.25 = 0.875
    Decrease in price = (0.125/1) × 100 = 12.5%

  4. 21. Answer: Option 'A'
    A = 125
    B = 100
    A-B/A × 100 = 25/125 × 100 = 20 % smaller smaller than A

    22. Answer: Option 'C'
    X = 120%
    Y = 125%
    Z = 100%
    X-Y/Y × 100 = 5/125 × 100 = 4 % smaller than Y

    23. Answer: Option 'C'
    X = 80 %
    Y = 70 %
    Z = 100 %
    X-Y/X × 100 = 10/80 × 100 = 12 1/2 % greater than X

    24. Answer: Option 'B'
    X = 120
    Y = 100
    Z = 80
    X-Z/Z × 100 = 40/80 × 100 = 50 % greater than Z

    25. Answer: Option 'A'
    Total = 100 %,
    First person got 60%
    second person got remaining 40 % of votes.
    than 40 % = 280
    40% = 40×7 = 280
    100% =100×7 =700votes

    26. Answer: Option 'B'
    Note : majority (20 %) = difference in votes polled to win (60 %) & defeated candidates (40 %)
    20 % = 60 % - 40 %
    20% -----> 280 (20×14 = 280 )
    100% -----> 1400 (100×14 = 1400)

    27. Answer: Option 'C'
    100 % - 10 % = 90 %
    54%-36%=18%
    18% ------> 1800 ( 18 × 100 = 1800)
    100% -------> 10000 votes (100 × 100 = 10000)

    28. Answer: Option 'B'
    (100%-20%=80%
    48%-32%=16%
    16% = 16×30 = 480
    100% =100×30 =3000 votes)

    29. Answer: Option 'C'
    Formula :
    ( After =100 denominator
    Ago = 100 numerator)
    10000 × 120/100 × 120/100 = 14400

    30. Answer: Option 'B'
    Formula :
    ( After =100 denominator
    Ago = 100 numerator)
    8000 × 80/100 × 80/100 = 5120

    32. Answer: Option 'C'
    Formula :
    ( After =100 denominator
    Ago = 100 numerator)
    13200 × 100/110 × 100/120 = 10000

    33. Answer: Option 'A'
    30 % -------> 120 ( 30 × 4 = 120)
    100% -------> 400 (100 × 4 = 400)

    34. Answer: Option 'C'
    40 % ------> 120 ( 40 × 3 = 120 )

  6. 41. Answer: Option 'B'
    FORMULA:
    First value = last value×100/100-p1×100/100-p2×---------------- (p=percentage)
    First value = 5760×100/100 - 20×100/100 - 10×100/100 - 20
    = 5760 × 100/80× 100/90× 100/80 = 10000/-

    Let a family's monthly consumption of daal be x kg.
    To keep the expenditure fixed,
    their consumption for this month should be 16x/20 = 4x/5.
    Reduction in consumption = x/5 = 20% of x

    43. Answer: Option 'C'
