Answers :

1) Answer: A

Let, incomes of Devas and Kajal are Rs.7k and Rs.6k respectively.

(7k – 26000)/(6k – 24000) = 5/4

=> 28k – 104000 = 30k – 120000

=> 30k – 28k = 120000 – 104000

=> 2k = 16000

=> k = 16000/2

=> k = 8000

Income of Devas = 7 x 8000 = Rs.56000

Income of Kajal = 6 x 8000 = Rs.48000

Expenditure of Devas = 56000 – 26000 = Rs.30000

Expenditure of Malti = 30000 + 2000 = Rs.32000

Income of Malti = 32000 + 22000 = Rs.54000

Required difference = 54000 – 48000 = Rs.6000


2) Answer: A

Total male = 40/100 * 3200 = 1280

Total female = 60/100 * 3200 = 1920

Total number of employees from IT department = 60/100 * 3200 = 1920

Number of female employees from IT department = 1920 * 80/100 = 1536

Number of male employees from IT department = 1920 – 1536 = 384


3) Answer: D

The successful candidate got 56% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 1728 votes.

(56 % – 44 %) of votes = 1728

12 % of votes = 1728

According to the question,

20 % voters didn’t cast their votes and 10 % of the votes are invalid. So,

= > (80/100)*(90/100)* total voters = 1728*(100/12)

= > Total voters = (1728*10*10*100) / (8*9*12) = 20000


4) Answer: B

Total boys in the class = 60 * 40/100 = 24

Total girls in the class = 60 * 60/100 = 36

Number of girls passed the examination = 36 * 75/100 = 27

Total number of students passed the examination = 60 * 70/100 = 42

Number of boys passed the examination = 42 – 27 = 15

 

5) Answer: A

Total number of employees = x

Number of IT department employees = y

Number of HR department employee = (x – y)

70/100 * y = 60/100 * (x – y) + 50

70y = 60x – 60y + 5000

60x – 130y + 5000 = 0 ———–(1)

80/100 * (x – y) = 40/100 * (y) + 80

80x – 80y = 40y + 8000

80x – 120y – 8000 = 0 ———–(2)

(1) * 4 – (2) * 3

-160y = – 44000

y = 275


6) Answer: C

Let ‘a’ and ‘b’ are number of oranges and apples respectively.

Oranges sold to A = 20/100 * a = 0.2 a

Oranges sold to B = (a – 0.2a) * 40/100 = 0.32 a

Remaining number of oranges = a – (0.2a + 0.32 a) = 0.48 a

=> 48 = 0.48 a

=> 100 = a

Apples sold to A = 40/100 * b = 0.4 b

Remaining number of Apples = 10/100 * b =0.1 b

Apples sold to B = 100

=> 100 = b – (0.4 b + 0.1 b)

=> 100 = 0.5 b

=> 200 = b

Total number of apples and oranges = a + b = 100 + 200 = 300

Or

Short cut:

Let ‘a’ and ‘b’ are number of oranges and apples respectively.

48 = 60% of (100 – 20)% of a

a = 100

100 = (100 – 40 – 10)% of b

b = 200

Total apples and oranges = 100 + 200 = 300


7) Answer: C

Total number of sweets=80*(15% of 80) + 5*(20% of 80)

=80*12+5*16

=1040


8) Answer: D                               

Value of the machine = 260000 * 87/100 * 87/100 = 196794


9) Answer: A

Let the income of Saara and Vinay be x and y respectively,

x + y = 55000 –> (1)

15 % of x + 12 % of y = 7200

15x + 12y = 720000 –> (2)

By solving the equation (1) and (2), we get,

x = 20000, y = 35000

The income of Saara = Rs. 20000


10) Answer: B

Let Manvi’s monthly salary be X,

X * (52/100) * (55/100) = 8580

X = 8580 * (100/52) * (100/55)

X = Rs. 30000Line Graph Questions

Manvi’s annual salary = 30000 * 12 = Rs. 360000
