Answers :

1) Answer: D

According to the question,

(15 % – 10 %) of salary = 4000

5 % of salary = 4000

Total salary = 4000*(100/5) = Rs. 80000 = 100 %

Savings % = (20000/80000)*100 = 25 %

Total salary (100 %) = Expense (75 %) + Savings (25 %)

75 % = (15 % + 20 % + 10 % + X %)

X % = 75 % – 45 % = 30 %

2) Answer: D

Let, total income of Raghav be Rs. P

(a)

(100 – 20)/100 x (100 – 10)/100 x (100 – 25)/100 x (100 – 20)/100 x P = 10800

=> 80/100 x 90/100 x 75/100 x 80/100 x P = 10800

=> P = 10800 x 100/80 x 100/90 x 100/75 x 100/80

=> P = Rs.25000

Amount spent by Raghav on entertainment

= 80/100 x 90/100 x 25/100 x 25000

= Rs.4500 = 4500

=> Satisfies the given condition.

(b)

(100 – 20)/100 x (100 – 10)/100 x (100 – 25)/100 x (100 – 20)/100 x P = 13500

=> 80/100 x 90/100 x 75/100 x 80/100 x P = 13500

=> P = 13500 x 100/80 x 100/90 x 100/75 x 100/80

=> P = Rs.31250

Amount spent by Raghav on entertainment

= 80/100 x 90/100 x 25/100 x 31250

= Rs.5625 = 5625

=> Satisfies the given condition.

(c)

(100 – 20)/100 x (100 – 10)/100 x (100 – 25)/100 x (100 – 20)/100 x P = 18900

=> 80/100 x 90/100 x 75/100 x 80/100 x P = 18900

=> P = 18900 x 100/80 x 100/90 x 100/75 x 100/80

=> P = Rs.43750

Amount spent by Raghav on entertainment

= 80/100 x 90/100 x 25/100 x 43750

= Rs.7875 = 7875

=> Satisfies the given condition

3) Answer: C

Let Blue balls = x

Red balls = x * 120/100 = 6x/5

x* 60/100 = 40/100 *Orange balls

Orange balls = 3x/2

Yellow balls = 3x/5

3x/2 – 6x/5 = 15

15x – 12x = 150

x = 50

Total number of balls = x + 6x/5 + 3x/2 + 3x/5

= 50+60+75+30

= 215

4) Answer: E

Number of red balls = x

Number of blue balls = 100 – x

x * 120/100 + (100 – x + 9) = 100 * 123/100

6x/5 + 109 – x = 123

6x + 545 – 5x = 123 * 5

x = 70

Number of blue balls = 100 – 70 = 30

Required ratio = 7: 3

5) Answer: C

Let x be the total mark in that exam, then

Rajeev’s score = 412 marks, Sanjay’s score = 75 % = Rajeev’s score + 8

Sanjay = 412 + 8 = 420 = 75 % of total marks

(75/100)* x = 420

x = 420 * (100/75) = 560

Minimum passing marks = 35 % of total marks

= > (35/100)* 560 = 196

Rajeev scored 216 marks more than the passing marks.
