405 sweets were distributed equally among children in such a way that the number of sweets received by each child is 20% of the total no. of children. How many sweets did each child receive ?1). 152). 453). 94). 18

Answer»

Solution

Let the number of children be C.
So, the number of sweets that each child gets is 20% of C.
Hence, the total number of sweets there are is 20%*C*C which EQUALS 405.
So, $20 \%C^2 = 405$ or $C^2 = 2025$

Hence, C=45 and the number of sweets each child gets is 9

Answer»

Solution

Let the NUMBER be X.

85% of 485.5 = 50% of X

=&GGT; 85 * 485.5 = 50 * X

=> X = 85 * 485.5 / 50 = 825.35

70% of a number is equal to four-fifth of another number. If the difference between the two numbers is 100, what is the bigger number ?1). 7002). 7503). 8004). Cannot be determined

Answer»

Solution

Let the TWO numbers be X and Y.
So, 70%*X = 4/5*Y = 80%*Y
Therefore, 7X = 8Y

It ALSO given that X-Y =100.
Hence, 7X-7Y = 700. But 7X=8Y

Therefore, 8Y-7Y = 700 or Y=700
Hence, the bigger number equals Y+100 = 800

205.

605 sweets were distributed equally among children in such a way that the number of sweets received by each child is 20% of the total number of children. How many sweets did each child receive ?1). 242). 113). 454). Cannot be determined

Answer»

Solution

Let the total NUMBER of children be N.

Number of sweets received by each CHILD = N/5

So, N * N/5 = 605 => $N^2 = 605 * 5$ = 3025

So, N = 55

Number of sweets received by each child = 55/5 = 11

Answer»

Solution

Round of the values to the nearest WHOLE number.
Let the UNKNOWN term be X.
40% of 360 - 60% of x =12
144 - 60% of x =12
60% of x =144 - 12 =132
x = (132 $\times$ 100)/60
x= 220
Option A is the CORRECT answer

A man gave 20% of his salary to his only son and only daughter. The ratio of amount given to son and daughter is 3 : 2 respectively. Twice the amount what he gave to his daughter. he invested in LIC. Out of the remaining amount he gave one-fourth to his wife. After that he was left with Rs. 16800. Find out the amount invested in LIC.1). Rs. 56002). Rs. 54003). Rs. 58004). Rs. 6200

Answer»

Solution

Let total salary of the MAN be Rs. $100x$

Total amount given to his son and daughter = $\frac{20}{100} * 100x = 20X$

Amount given to daughter = $\frac{2}{5} * 20x = 8x$

Amount invested in LIC = $8x * 2 = 16x = ?$

Remaining amount = $100x - 20x - 16x = 64x$

Amount given to wife = $\frac{1}{4} * 64x = 16x$

=> Remaining amount = $64x - 16x = 48X$

Acc to ques : $48x = 16800$

=> $x = 350$

$\therefore$ Amount invested in LIC = 16 * 350 = Rs. 5600

209.

Answer»

Solution

Round off the values to the nearest whole number.
Let the UNKNOWN percentage be X.
X % of $(230 \TIMES 8 - 560) = 960$
X % of $(1840 - 560) = 960$
X % of $(1280) = 960$
X % $= \FRAC{960}{1280}$
X = 75 %
Option E is the correct answer.

213.

Answer»

Solution

Cost PER square metre

Rate of painting = 6400

Rate of TILING = $\frac{125}{100} * 6400$ = 8000

Rate of CARPETING = $\frac{120}{100} * 8000$ = 9600

Rate of decorating = 14 * 9600 = 134400

Rate of electrification = $\frac{75}{100} * 9600$ = 7200

Now, total cost :

Carpeting = 6 * 6 * 9600 = Rs. 345600

Decoration = 6 * 6 * 134400 = Rs. 4838400

Electrification = 6 * 6 * 7200 = Rs. 259200

Tiling = 6 * 6 * 8000 = Rs. 288000

$\therefore$ total cost = 345600 + 4838400 + 259200 + 288000 = Rs. 5731200

214.

Answer»

Solution

Here, LET amount invested in A and B be X and y respectively.

Now, from I, (x/y)=(2/3)

and from II, x=45000

Therefore, y= 67500

We GET the amount invested in B from I and III

From II we cannot get the relation between A and B as there can be more SCHEMES other than A and B.

Hence, the CORRECT option is option B

215.

Answer»

Solution

RATE of tiling = Rs 4000 PER SQ. metre

Area of the floor = 51 * 59 = 3009 sq. metre

=> Total cost = 3009 * 7000 = Rs. 21063000

219.

Answer»

Solution

We need to FIND the VALUE of (43%of 2750) - (38% of 2990)

43% of 2750 = 0.43 * 2750 = 1182.5
38% of 2990 = 0.38 * 2990 = 1136.2

Hence, the difference equals 1182.5 - 1136.2 = 46.3.
So, the correct option is option (d)

220.

Answer»

Solution

In order to FIND the approximate value of $125\% of 4875 + 88.005 \times 14.995$, let us approximate the values.

$88.005 \APPROX 88$ and $14.995 \approx 15$

So, the expression looks LIKE $125\% \times 4875 + 88 \times 15 = 6093 + 1320 = 7413$

The closest option to this is option (e)

Answer»

Solution

Let the NUMBER be x and another number be y.

Now, the product of number and another number = x*y

As per given CONDITION, NEW product (x/3)*1.5y=0.5xy

Now, per cent of the product of the original numbers= (0.5xy/xy)*100=50

222.

Answer»

Solution

Cost per square metre,

Rate of painting = 3200

Rate of tiling = $\frac{125}{100} * 3200$ = 4000

Rate of CARPETING = $\frac{120}{100} * 4000$ = 4800

Rate of decorating = 14 * 4800 = 67200

Area of the 4 walls = 2 * 5 * (6 + 6) = 120 SQ. metre

Area of the floor = 6 * 6 = 36 sq. metre

=> Expenditure on decoration = 36 * 67200 = 2419200

Expenditure on painting = 120 * 3200 = 384000

$\therefore$ REQUIRED ratio = 384000 : 2419200 = 10 : 63
