Q 1 - 40% of 1640 + ? = 35% of 980 + 150% of 850 ?
Let z be the worth of car.

p = (2800x100x7⁄2) = Rs. 980000
Q 3 - In a competitive examination in Zone A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates. Zone B had an equal number of candidates appeared and 7% candidates got selected with 80 more candidates got selected than A. What was the number of candidates appeared from each Zone?

p = 80 x 100 = 8000
Q 4 - A spider climbed 621⁄2% of the height of the pole in one hour and in the next hour it covered 121⁄2% of the remaining height. If the height of the pole is 192m, then distance climbed in second hour is?
Height climbed in second hour = 121⁄2% of (100 - 621⁄2)% of 192
Therefore, the distance climbed in second hour by spider is 9m.

If the price of a commodity increases by R%, to maintain the same expenditure, the reduction in consumption can be represented by:
{R/(100 + R)}*100%
= {15/(100 + 15)} * 100
= 300/23%
Q 7 - The population of a town increases 5% annually but is decreased by immigration annually to the extent of 0.5 % .what will be the increase percent in 3 years
Let x% of 64 = 8. Then, (x/100*64)=8
∴ x= 8* 100/64= 25/2=12.5.
Q 10 - 72% of the students of a certain class took Biology and 44% took Mathematics. If each student took at least one subject from Biology or Mathematics and 40 took both, then the total number of students in the class is
Let the number of students in the class be 100.
∴ Number of students in Biology = 72 and number of students in Maths = 44.
∴ Number of students opting for both the subjects = 72 + 44 � 100 = 16
When 16 students opt for both the subjects, total number of students = 100
∴ When 40 students took both the subjects, total number of students = (100/16)*40 = 250
