2. Gayatri’s income ₹ 1,60,000 per year. She pays 15% of this as house rent and 10% of the remainder on her child’s education. The money left with her is

(a) ₹136000 (b) ₹120000 (c) ₹122400 (d) ₹14000

Solution: –

(c) ₹122400

From the question it is given that,

Gayatri’s income ₹ 1,60,000 per year

She pays 15% of this as house rent = 15% of ₹ 1,60,000

= (15/100) × 1,60,000

= ₹ 24000

10% of the remainder on her child’s education = 10% of remaining amount of her income

Remaining amount of her income = ₹ 1,60,000 – ₹ 24000

= ₹ 136000

Total amount of her child’s education = 10% of ₹ 136000

= (10/100) × 136000

= 1360000/100

= ₹ 13600

Then, money left with Gayatri = ₹ 1,60,000 – (₹ 24000 + ₹ 13600)

= ₹ 1, 60, 000 – ₹ 37,600

= ₹ 1,22,400

3. The ratio of Fatima’s income to her savings is 4 : 1. The percentage of money saved by her is :

(a) 20% (b) 25% (c) 40% (d) 80%

Solution:-

(a) 20%

Let assume the ratio if Fatima’s income to her savings be 4y : 1y.

Then, the percentage of money saved by her is = (her savings/(income + savings)) × 100

= (1y/4y + y) × 100

= 100/5

= 20

4. 0.07 is equal to

(a) 70% (b) 7% (c) 0.7% (d) 0.07%

(a) 25 (b) 32.5 (c) 8 (d) 50

Solution:-

(c) 8

From the question it is given that,

In a scout camp, 40% of the scouts were from Gujarat State

So, let us assume number of scouts in the camp be 100

Then, scouts from Gujarat = 40% of 100

= (40/100) × 100

= 4000/100

= 40

Now, 20% of scouts were from Ahmedabad = 20% of 40

= (20 /100) × 40

= 800/100

= 8

Therefore, the percentage of scouts in the camp from Ahmedabad is 8.

6. What percent of ₹ 4500 is ₹ 9000?

(a) 200 (b) ½ (c) 2 (d) 50

Solution:-

(a) 200

Let us assume percentage be Q,

Then, Q% of ₹ 4500 is ₹ 9000

(Q/100) × 4500 = ₹ 9000

(4500Q/100) = ₹ 9000

45Q = ₹ 9000

Q = ₹ 9000/45

Q = ₹ 200

7. 5.2 is equal to

(a) 52% (b) 5.2% (c) 520% (d) 0.52%

Because, to remove the % we have to divide the given number by 100.

= 9/4

10. A bicycle is purchased for ₹ 1800 and is sold at a profit of 12%. Its selling price is

(a) ₹ 1584 (b) ₹ 2016 (c) ₹ 1788 (d) ₹ 1812

Solution:-

(b) ₹ 2016

From the question it is given that,

A bicycle is purchased for ₹ 1800

Bicycle is sold at a profit of 12%.

Its selling price is =?

We know that, Profit percent = (Profit/CP) × 100

12 = (Profit/₹ 1800) × 100

(12 × 1800)/100 = Profit

Profit = 12 × 18

Profit = ₹ 216

Then, Profit = SP – CP

216 = SP – 1800

SP = 216 + 1800

SP = ₹ 2016

11. A cricket bat was purchased for ₹ 800 and was sold for ₹ 1600. Then profit earned is

(a) 100% (b) 64% (c) 50% (d) 60%

Solution:-

(a) 100%

From the question it is given that,

Cost price of bat (CP) = ₹ 800

Selling price of bat (SP) = ₹ 1600

Then, Profit = SP – CP

= 1600 – 800

= ₹ 800

We know that, Profit percent = (Profit/CP) × 100

= (800/800) × 100

= 100%

12. A farmer bought a buffalo for ₹ 44000 and a cow for ₹ 18000. He sold the buffalo at a loss of 5% but made a profit of 10% on the cow. The net result of the transaction is

(a) loss of ₹ 200 (b) profit of ₹ 400

(c) loss of ₹ 400 (d) profit of ₹ 200

Solution:-

(c) loss of ₹ 400

From the question it is given that,

Cost price of cow = ₹ 18000

Profit percent on cow = 10%

We know that, Profit percent = (Profit/CP) × 100

10 = (Profit/₹ 18000) × 100

(10 × 18000)/100 = Profit

Profit = 10 × 180

Profit = ₹ 1800

Then, Profit = SP – CP

1800 = SP – 18000

SP = 1800 + 18000

SP of cow = ₹ 19800

Cost price of buffalo = ₹ 44000

He sold the buffalo at a loss of 5%

We know that, Loss percent = (loss/CP) × 100

5 = (loss/44000) × 100

(5 × 44000)/100 = loss

Loss = 5 × 440

Loss = ₹ 2200

Loss = CP – SP

₹2200 = ₹44000 – SP

SP = 44000 – 2200

SP of buffalo = ₹ 41,800

Now,

Total cost price of both buffalo and cow = ₹ 44000 + ₹ 18000

= ₹ 62000

Total selling price of both buffalo and cow = ₹ 41800 + ₹ 19800

= ₹ 61,600

Selling price of both buffalo and cow is less when compare to cost price,

So, Loss = CP – SP

= ₹ 62000 – ₹ 61600

Loss = ₹ 400

13. If Mohan’s income is 25% more than Raman’s income, then Raman’s income is less than Mohan’s income by

(a) 25% (b) 80% (c) 20% (d) 75%

Solution:-

(c) 20%

Let us assume Mohan’s income be ‘P’ and Raman’s income be ‘Q’

From the question it is given that,

Mohan’s income is 25% more than Raman’s income i.e. x = y + 25% of y

X = y + (25/100) y

X = y (1 + (25/100))

X = y ((100 + 25)/100)

X = y(125/100)

Then, the difference between both the income is = (125/100)y – (25/100)y

So,

Raman’s income as compared to Mohan’s income,

= (difference)/ (Mohan’s income) × 100

= ((25y/100)/(125y/100)) × 100

= (25/125) × 100

= 20%

Time = 3 years

Rate = 10%

Then, we know the formula of Simple interest I = (P × R × T)/100

I= (3000× (10) × 3)/100

I = ₹ 900

Amount = P + I

= 3000 + 900

= ₹ 3900

Now,

Money deposited by Mohini = ₹ 4000

Time = 2½ = 5/2

Rate = 10%

Then, we know the formula of Simple interest I = (P × R × T)/100

I= (4000× (10) × (5/2))/100

I = ₹ 1000

Amount = P + I

= 4000 + 1000

= ₹ 5000

The difference of the amounts received by them will be = 5000 – 3900

= ₹1100

From the question it is given that,

Selling price of the article = ₹ 329

Loss percent = 6%

We know that, Loss percent = (loss/CP) × 100

6 = ((CP – SP)/CP) × 100

(6/100)CP = CP –SP

CP – (6/100)CP = 329

(94/100)CP = 329

CP = (329 × 100)/94

CP = ₹ 350

20. (25% of 50% of 100%)/(25 × 50) is equal to

45. Narain bought 120 oranges at ₹ 4 each. He sold 60 % of the oranges at ₹ 5 each and the remaining at ₹ 3.50 each. His ________ is ________%.

Solution:-

Narain bought 120 oranges at ₹ 4 each. He sold 60 % of the oranges at ₹ 5 each and the remaining at ₹ 3.50 each. His profit is 10%.

From the question, it is given that, cost price of one orange = ₹ 4

cost price of 120 oranges = ₹ 4 × 120 = ₹ 480

So, selling price of 60% of oranges = ₹ 5 per each

60% of 120 oranges = (60/100) × 120

= 7200/100

= 72 oranges

Selling price of 72 oranges = 72 × 5 = ₹ 360

SP of remaining oranges = (120 – 72) × 3.50

= 48 × 3.50

= ₹ 168

Therefore total selling price of 120 oranges = ₹ 360 + ₹ 168

= ₹ 528

SP is more than CP so, Profit = SP – CP

= 528 – 480

= ₹ 48

We know that, Profit percentage = (Profit/CP) × 100

= (48/480) × 100

= 10%

46. A fruit seller purchased 20 kg of apples at ₹ 50 per kg. Out of these, 5% of the apples were found to be rotten. If he sells the remaining apples at ₹ 60 per kg, then his _________is _________%.

Solution:-

A fruit seller purchased 20 kg of apples at ₹ 50 per kg. Out of these, 5% of the apples were found to be rotten. If he sells the remaining apples at ₹ 60 per kg, then his profit is 14 %.

From the question it is given that, A fruit seller purchased 20 kg of apples at ₹ 50 per kg

In that 20 kg of apples 5% were rotten, so good apples = 20 – 5% of 20kg

= 20 – (5/100) × 20

= 20 – (100/100)

= 20 – 1

= 19 kg

So, 19 kg apples were sold at ₹ 60 per kg

Then, total Selling price of apples = 19 × 60

= ₹ 1140

Given cost price of 20 kg of apples = 20 × 50

= ₹ 1000

SP is more than CP so, Profit = SP – CP

= 1140 – 1000

= ₹ 140

We know that, Profit percentage = (Profit/CP) × 100

= (140/1000) × 100

= 14%

From the question it is given that,

Principal= ₹ 20000

Time = 6 months = 6/12 = ½

Rate = 8%

Then, we know the formula of Simple interest I = (P × R × T)/100

I= (20000 × 8 × ½ ) /100

I = ₹ 800

Amount received = Principal + Interest

= 20000 + 800

= ₹ 20800

49. Interest on ₹ 12500 at 18% per annum for a period of 2 years and 4 months is ________.

Solution:-

From the question it is given that,

Principal= ₹ 12500

Time = 2 years 4 months = (2 + (4/12))

= (2 + (1/3))

= 7/3 year

Rate = 18%

Then, we know the formula of Simple interest I = (P × R × T)/100

I= (12500 × 18 × (7/3)) /100

I = ₹ 5250

50. 25 ml is _________ percent of 5 litres.

Solution:-

25 ml is 0.5 percent of 5 litres

Let us assume 25 ml be Q % of 5 liters.

So, 25 ml = Q % of 5l

Q = (25 × 100)/(5 × 1000)

Q = 0.5%

51. If A is increased by 20%, it equals B. If B is decreased by 50%, it equals C. Then __________ % of A is equal to C.

Solution:-

If A is increased by 20%, it equals B. If B is decreased by 50%, it equals C. Then 60 % of A is equal to C.

From the question it is given that, A is increased by 20%, it equals B = A + (20/100) × A

B is decreased by 50%, it equals C = B – (50/100) × B

Then,

A (1 + (1/5)) = B

(6/5) A = B … [equation i]

Now,

B (1 – (1/2)) = C

½B = C

B = 2C … [equation ii]

Substitute equation (ii) in equation (i)

(6/5)A = 2C

C = (6/10) A

C = ((6 × 10)/(10 × 10))A

C = (60/100) × A

C = 60% of A

From the question it is given that,

P = ₹ 2100

Time = 2 years

Rate = 8%

Then, we know the formula of Simple interest I = (P × R × T)/100

I = (2100 × 2 × 8)/100

I = 33600/100

I = ₹ 336

Then,

Time = 3 years

I = (P × R × T)/100

I = (2100 × 3× 8)/100

I = 50400/100

I = ₹ 504

The difference of interest for 2 years and 3 years = 3 years – 2 years

= ₹ 504 – ₹ 336

= ₹ 168
