Answers :

1) Answer: A

Number of valid votes = 10000 * 95/100 = 9500

Number of valid votes polled in other candidates = (100 – 55)/100 * 9500

= 4275


2) Answer: A

Population in 2016 = x

x * 110/100 * 110/100 = 89540

x = 74000


3) Answer: B

Marks scored by Rahul = 45/100 * 120 = 54

Required average = (54 + 108)/2 = 81


4) Answer: E

x * 1/4 * 2/5 * 3/10 = 15

x = 500

y * 3/5 * 1/5 * 45/100 = 27

y = 500

Difference = 500 – 500 = 0


5) Answer: D

Let monthly expenditure of A = 120x

Monthly expenditure of B= 100x

120x+100x= 13200

220x =13200

x=60

Monthly expenditure of B=100x =Rs.6000

Monthly saving of B = (120x/2)-600 = 3000

Total income of B= Rs.6000+3000 = Rs.9000

Therefore monthly income of A = (11/6) * (9000) = Rs.16500

Monthly saving of A = 16500 – 120(60) = Rs.9300


6) Answer: A

Income of Amith = 100x

Given to Sons = 40/100 * 100x = 40x

Given to wife = 60x * 60/100 = 36x

Remaining = 100x – 40x – 36x = 24x

36x = 18000

x = 500

Savings of Amith = 500 * 24 = Rs.12000


7) Answer: A

Let Initial length and breadth of parallelogram 100 cm and 100 cm respectively.

New breadth of parallelogram = x

100 * 100 = 120 * x

x = 500/6

Decreased by = 100 – 500/6 = 100/6

Required percentage = 100/6%

= 16(2/3)%


8) Answer: A

Let the expenditure of Virat = Rs. a

Expenditure of Ashwin = a – 9440

Income = Expenditure + saving

Savings of Virat = 5/8 x 6400 = Rs.4000

According to question

(a – 9440 + 6400) / (a + 4000) = 5/7

7a – 21280 = 5a + 20000

2a = 41280

a = Rs.20640


9) Answer: C

Price of wheat = Rs.x per kg

Consume of wheat = y kg

Expenditure = Rs.xy

xy = 120/100 * x * (y – 10)

y = 6/5 * (y – 10)

y = 60


10) Answer: B

Income of Sanju = 5x and Income of Manu = 6x

6x * 125/100 = 37500

=> x = 5000

Sanju’s income = 5x = Rs.25000
