Solutions

S1. Ans.(c)

Sol.

No. of qualified candidates in 2015

= 64 × 9 = 576

 ∴no.of  males=576-176=400

 ∴Required Ratio=400∶176=25∶11

S2. Ans.(d)

Sol.

No. of appeared candidates in 2016

=140/100×700 = 980

Required no. of candidates =  25/100×980= 245

S3. Ans.(c)

Sol.

Let appeared candidates in 2012 = 500

∴ Let qualified candidates in 2012 = 400

∴ No. of female qualified in 2012 =3/8×400=150

 ∴Required %=150/500×100=30%

S4. Ans.(d)

Sol.

Let no. of males qualified in 2014 = 9x

∴ No. of females qualified in 2014 = 5x

∴9x-5x=72

x = 18

 ∴No.of candidates qualifed in 2014=14x=14×18=252

∴Required no.of candidates=252/42×100 = 600

S5. Ans.(b)

Sol. let candidate who qualified in 2011 = x

Candidate who qualified in 2013 = 480 ×0.6=288

X = 498-288=210

Required percent = 210/7 = 30%

S10. Ans.(b)

Sol.

Overall cost price of all washing machines together 

=9375+18750+12325+10385+4050+14360=69245

Overall selling price of all washing machines together 

=7968.75+21375+10106.5+14019.75+5022+12924=71416

Profit percentage =(71416-69245)/69245×100≈3.1% profit
