The price for a pair of cuff links is Rs.1.00. The price for a 5 pair package of cuff links is Rs.3.40. The 5 pair package is what percent cheaper per paid than 5 pairs purchased separately?
(A) 30%
(B) 32%
(C) 47%
(D) 62%
Ans: B
Price of 5 pairs when purchased separately = Rs. 5.
Price of 5 pair package = Rs. 3.40.
Difference in price = Rs. (5 – 3.40) = Rs. 1.60.
Therefore, Required percentage =$$(1.6/ {5} × 100)$$% = 32%.
Question: 2
A city has a population of 3,00,000 out of which 1,80,000 are males. 50% of the population is literate. If 70% of the males are literate, then the percentage of females who are literate is
(A) 10%
(B) 20%
(C) 25%
(D) 30%
Ans: B
Number of males = 180000.
Number of females = (300000 – 180000) = 120000. Number of literates = 50% of 300000 = 150000. Number of literate males = 70% of 180000 = 126000.Number of literate females = (150000 – 126000) = 24000.
Therefore, Required percentage = $$(24000 / {120000} × 100)$$% = 20%.Question: 3

10% of students = 40
Therefore, Number of students = 400.

Number of such numbers = 14.

(B) 12%
(C) 15%
(D) 18%

Quantity of alcohol in 5 litres solution = 20% of 5 litres = 1 litres.
Quantity of alcohol removed = 20% of 2 litres = 400 ml.
Quantity of alcohol in new solution = (1000 – 400) ml. = 600 ml.
Therefore, Strength of alcohol in new solution = $$(600 / {5000} × 100)$$% = 12%.
