Solution

1) % error= (6-1/6)/6 * 100 = 97%

2) 30 -40-30*40/100 = 30-52 = -22
So 22% decrease.

3) (21- 20)/20 * 100 = 5%

4) (2100-1200)/1200 * 100 = 75%

5) (20-12)/12 * 100 = 66.66%

6) 25*40/100= 10;
10+x/ 40+x = 75/100
on solving x= 35

7) let B got x votes, then A got 2x, now 2x-200 = x+200
x=400
total votes= x+2x= 3x = 1200

8) S.P.= 90/100 * 85/100 * 80/100 * 75/100 * 4000 = 1836
if he sold at 30% discount then S.P = 4000*70/100 =2800
so he will realized 2800 - 1836 = 964 more

9). No. of females = 7500*0.42 = 3150
No. of males = 7500-3150 =4350
let literate male and female are x and y respectively.
x+y= 2370
difference of illiterate male and female =90
So (4350-x)- (3150-y) = 90
on solving x-y = 1110
x= 1740
required % = 1740/4350 * 100 = 40%

10. let the time ratio will be p:q:r
so 4p:7q:11r= 24:35:77

Explanation:-

1. Let x be the original number of workers and Rs. y the (average) wages per workers.
Then the total wages before changes = Rs. xy.
After reduction, the number of workers = (11 x)/15
After increment, the (average) wages per workers = Rs.(25 y)/22
The total wages after changes = (11x/15) × (25y/22) =5xy/6
Thus, the total wages of workers get decreased from Rs. xy to Rs. 5xy/6
Hence, the required ratio in which the total wages decrease is xy:5xy/6 = 6:5

2. let earning= 4x : 5x;
expences= 7y:9y
saving = income - expences
4x-7y= 5x-9y = 50
on solving both eqn. x=100
So Daily income are Rs. 400 and Rs. 500

3. Let us first find the cost price (C.P.) of the mixture. If S.P. is Rs. 100, profit is 17.5
Therefore C.P. = Rs. (100 - 17.5) = Rs. 82.5
If S.P. is Rs. 8.80, C.P. is (82.5× 8.80)/ 100 = Rs. 7.26
C.P. of the mixture per kg = Rs. 7.26
2nd difference = Profit by selling 1 kg. of 2nd kind @ Rs. 7.26
= Rs. 7.77 – Rs. 7.26 = 51 paise
1st difference = Rs. 7.26 – Rs. 6.92 = 34 paise
We have to mix the two kinds in such a ratio that the amount of profit in the first case
must balance the amount of loss in the second case.
Hence, the required ratio = (2nd diff) : (1st diff.) = 51 : 34 = 3 : 2.

4. Interest= Rs. 50,000 - 46875 = Rs. 3125
1 year 8 month = 5/3 year
so 3125= (46875*r*5)/(3*100)
on solving this r = 4%

5. Sum = (50*100)/(2*5) = Rs. 500
Amount = 500(1+5/100)^2 = 551.25
interest =551.25- 500 = Rs 51.5

6. math : Physics : bio = 5:7:8
After increment 5*140/100 : 7*150/100 : 8*175/100
14:21:28= 2:3:4

7. Remain profit for A, B & C
7400*95/100= 7030
A:B:C= 6500*6 : 8400*5 : 10,000*3 = 39:42:30
Share of B= 7030*42/111 = Rs. 2660

8. Present age of P+Q+R = 25*3+ 5*3= 90 year
Present age of Q+R= 20*2 + 7 *2 = 54 year
present age of P = 90-54 = 36 year.

9. let Kamal work for y months.
2100* 12 = 3600 * y ;
y = 7 months .
so duration after kamal join = 12-7 = 5 months.

10. marked Price =800
Seling price after discount= 800*90/100*85/100 = 612
Total price including transportation = 612 + 25 = 637
selling it to 800 there would be gain

so gain % = (800 - 637)/637 *100 = 25 % approx

Answers with explanation:

1.(d)Required difference = 50 – 45 = 5 lakh tonne

= 5,00,000 tonnes

2.(a)Required percentage = (55 – 40)/40 * 100

= 75/2 = 37.5%

3.(b) In 2001 =(60 -50)/60 * 100 = 16.66%

4.(d)Required percentage = (60 + 60)/(50 + 40) * 100

120/90 * 100 = 133.33%

5.(c)Average production of company A

= (50 + 40 + 55 + 45 + 60 + 50)/6

= 300/6 = 50 lakh tonnes

Average production of company B

= (55 + 60 + 50 + 55 + 50 + 55)/6

= 325/6 = 54.17 lakh tones

Average production of company C

= (45 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 45 + 40)/6

= 300/6 = 50 lakh tones

Required difference = 54.17 – 50

= 4.17 lakh tones

6.(d)

7. (a) Percentage increase in 1996=(60 -40)/40 * 100 = 50%

8.(d)Average production per year for company B=(50 + 55 + 45 + 70 + 50 + 60 + 80)/7 =410/7

Average production per year for company C=(55 + 40 + 60 + 75 + 60 + 80 + 70)/7 =440/7

Required Percentage

= 410/440 * 100 = 93%

9.(b)Required Percentage = (75 – 60)/60 * 100 = 25%

10.(b)Required difference

= (80 + 70 + 60)/3 – (60 + 55 + 50)/3

= 210/3 – 165/3 = 70 – 55

15 thousand tonnes
