Given:

The price of a commodity increased by 22%.

Formula used:

Let the original consumption be 100 units.

New price = 100 + 22 = 122

Total expenditure should remain the same.

Calculations:

Original expenditure = 100 × 100

New expenditure = 122 × (new consumption)

⇒ 10000 = 122 × (new consumption)

⇒ new consumption = 10000/122

⇒ new consumption ≈ 81.97 units

Reduction in consumption = 100 - 81.97

⇒ Reduction in consumption ≈ 18.03 units

Percentage reduction = (18.03/100) × 100

⇒ Percentage reduction ≈ 18.03%

∴ The correct answer is option (4).

Given:

Sonia's initial salary = ₹6,00,000

Aprajita's initial salary = 150% of Sonia's salary

Sonia's salary increment = 20%

Aprajita's salary increment = 12%

Formula used:

New Salary = Initial Salary × (1 + Increment Rate)

Calculation:

Aprajita's initial salary = 1.5 × ₹6,00,000

⇒ Aprajita's initial salary = ₹9,00,000

New Salary of Aprajita = ₹9,00,000 × (1 + 0.12)

⇒ New Salary of Aprajita = ₹9,00,000 × 1.12

⇒ New Salary of Aprajita = ₹10,08,000

∴ The correct answer is option 1.

Given:

Weight of the rice in the bag = 4800 g

Formula Used:

New Weight = Original Weight + Added Weight - Removed Weight

Calculation:

20% of 4800 g is added:

Added Weight = 4800 × 20 / 100 = 960 g

New Weight = 4800 + 960 = 5760 g

10% of 5760 g is taken out:

Removed Weight = 5760 × 10 / 100 = 576 g

New Weight = 5760 - 576 = 5184 g

15% of 5184 g is added back:

Added Weight = 5184 × 15 / 100 = 777.6 g

New Weight = 5184 + 777.6 = 5961.6 g

25% of 5961.6 g is taken out:

Removed Weight = 5961.6 × 25 / 100 = 1490.4 g

New Weight = 5961.6 - 1490.4 = 4471.2 g

The weight of the bag now is 4471.2 grams.

Given:

In an election between two candidates, 64% of the voters cast their votes, out of which 4% of the votes were declared invalid. A candidate got 12,288 votes which were 64% of the total valid votes.

Formula used:

Total votes enrolled = Total valid votes / (Percentage of valid votes cast × Percentage of voters who cast their votes)

Calculation:

Total valid votes = 12,288 / 0.64

⇒ Total valid votes = 19,200

Total votes cast = Total valid votes / 0.96

⇒ Total votes cast = 19,200 / 0.96

⇒ Total votes cast = 20,000

Total votes enrolled = Total votes cast / 0.64

⇒ Total votes enrolled = 20,000 / 0.64

⇒ Total votes enrolled = 31,250

∴ The correct answer is option (1).

Given:

The ratio of boys and girls in a college is 5 : 3

24% of boys and 32% of girls are not placed in campus placements.

Calculation:

Let the total number of students be 800.

The number of boys = 800 × 5/8 = 500

The number of girls = 800 × 3/8 = 300

According to the question,

24% of boys and 32% of girls are not placed in campus placements.

The percentage of boys who got jobs in campus placements = 100% - 24% = 76%

⇒ 76% of 500 = 380

The percentage of girls who got jobs in campus placements = 100% - 32% = 68%

⇒ 68% of 300 = 204

Total placements = 380 + 204 = 584

∴ Percentage of placements = (584/800) × 100 = 73%

∴ The percentage of those students who got jobs in campus placements is 73%.

Given:

x - 1/x = 3

Concept used:

a³ - b³ = (a - b)³ + 3ab(a - b)

Calculation:

x³ - 1/x³ = (x - 1/x)³ + 3 × x × 1/x × (x - 1/x)

⇒ (x - 1/x)3 + 3(x - 1/x)

⇒ (3)³ + 3 × (3)

⇒ 27 + 9 = 36

∴ The value of x³ - 1/x³ is 36.

Alternate Method If x - 1/x = a, then x³ - 1/x³ = a³ + 3a

Here a = 3

x - 1/x³ = 3³ + 3 × 3

= 27 + 9

= 36

Given:

Profit = 25 Percent

Discount = 15 Percent

Formula:

MP/CP = (100 + Profit %)/(100 – Discount %)

MP = Printed Price

CP = Cost Price

Calculation:

We know that –

MP/CP = (100 + Profit %)/(100 – Discount %)   ………. (1)

Put all given values in equation (1) then we gets

MP/CP = (100 + 25)/(100 – 15)

⇒ 125/85

⇒ 25/17

Given:

Diameter of semicircle = 14√2 cm

Radius = 14√2/2 = 7√2 cm

Total no. of chords = 6

Concept:

Since the chords are equal in length, they will subtend equal angles at the centre. Calculate the area of one sector and subtract the area of the isosceles triangle formed by a chord and radius, then multiply the result by 6 to get the desired result.

Formula used:

Area of sector = (θ/360°) × πr²

Area of triangle = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ

Calculation:

The angle subtended by each chord = 180°/no. of chord

⇒ 180°/6

⇒ 30°

Area of sector AOB = (30°/360°) × (22/7) × 7√2 × 7√2

⇒ (1/12) × 22 × 7 × 2

⇒ (77/3) cm²

Area of triangle AOB = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ

⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × Sin 30°

⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × 1/2

⇒ 49/2 cm²

∴ Area of shaded region = 6 × (Area of sector AOB - Area of triangle AOB)

⇒ 6 × [(77/3) – (49/2)]

⇒ 6 × [(154 – 147)/6]

⇒ 7 cm²

∴ Area of shaded region is 7 cm²

Formula used

Area = length × breath

Calculation

The garden EFGH is shown in the figure. Where EF = 220 meters & EH = 70 meters.

The width of the path is 4 meters.

Now the area of the path leaving the four colored corners

= [2 × (220 × 4)] + [2 × (70 × 4)]

= (1760 + 560) square meter

= 2320 square meters

Now, the area of 4 square colored corners:

4 × (4 × 4)

{∵ Side of each square = 4 meter}

= 64 square meter

The total area of the path = the area of the path leaving the four colored corners + square colored corners

⇒ Total area of the path = 2320 + 64 = 2384 square meter

∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.

Given:

Valid votes = 75% of total votes

Winning Candidate = 70% of Valid votes

He won by a majority of 3630 votes

Losing Candidate = 30% of Valid votes

Calculation:

Let 100x be the total number of votes polled

Valid votes = 75% of total votes

= 0.75 × 100x

= 75x

Majority of the Winning Candidate is 3630

Then, Difference between Winning and Losing Candidate = (70 % - 30 %) of valid votes

= 40% of the valid votes

Valid Votes = 75x

Then,

= 0.40 × 75x

= 30x

Hence, 30x is Majority of winning candidate

30x = 3630

x = 121

Total number of votes is 100x

= 100 × 121

= 12100

Answer is 12100.

Concebt used

a.b̅ = a.bbbbbb

a.0b̅ = a.0bbbb

Calculation

0.7 = 0.700000 ̇....

Now, 0.7777…  or  is largest among all.

Given

Length of first train (L1) = 400 m

Length of second train (L2) = 300 m

Speed of second train (S2) = 60 km/hr

Time taken to cross each other (T) = 15 s

Concept:

Relative speed when two objects move in opposite directions is the sum of their speeds.

Calculations:

Let the speed of the first train = x km/hr

Total length = 300 + 400

Time = 15 sec

According to the question:

700/15 = (60 + x) × 5/18

28 × 6 = 60 + x

x = 108 km/hr.

Therefore, the speed of the longer train is 108 km per hour.

GIVEN :

If the price of petrol has increased from Rs. 40 per litre to Rs. 60 per litre

CALCULATION :

Let the consumption be 100 litres.

When price is Rs. 40 per litres, then, the expenditure = 100 × 40

⇒ Rs. 4,000.

At Rs. 60 per litre, the 60 × consumption = 4000

Consumption = 4,000/60 = 66.67 litres.

∴ Required decreased % = 100 - 66.67 = 33.33%

Given:

u : v = 4 : 7 and v : w = 9 : 7

Concept Used: In this type of question, number can be calculated by using the below formulae

Calculation:

u : v = 4 : 7 and v : w = 9 : 7

To make ratio v equal in both cases

We have to multiply the 1st ratio by 9 and 2nd ratio by 7

u : v = 9 × 4 : 9 × 7 = 36 : 63 ----(i)

v : w = 9 × 7 : 7 × 7 = 63 : 49 ----(ii)

Form (i) and (ii), we can see that the ratio v is equal in both cases

So, Equating the ratios we get,

u ∶ v ∶ w = 36 ∶ 63 ∶ 49

⇒ u ∶ w = 36 ∶ 49

When u = 72,

⇒ w = 49 × 72/36 = 98

∴ Value of w is 98

Solution:

= 25/2 + 37/3 + 73/6

= (75 + 74 + 73)/6

= 222/6

= 37

Shortcut Trick

= 12 + 12 + 12 + (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6)

= 36 + 1 = 37
