100+ Percentage Questions and Answers for SSC Exam - 1

Ans: C

Let the number be x.

Then, $${1}/{8}$$x = 41.5 ⇒ x = 41.5 × 8 = 332.

∴ 69% of 332 = $$({69} / {100} × 332)$$ = 229.08.

Ans: B

Let original consumption = 100 units and
original price = Rs. 100 per unit.

Original expenditure = Rs. (100 × 100) = Rs. 10000.

New expenditure = Rs. (120 × 80) = Rs. 9600.

∴ Decrease in expenditure = $$({400}/{10000} × 100)%$$ = 4%.

Ans: C

Let the original price of sugar be Rs. 10 per kg.

Then, original expenditure = Rs. (10 × 10) = Rs. 100.

New expenditure = 110% of 100 = Rs. 110.

New price of sugar = 132% of 10 = Rs. 13.20.

New consumption = $$({110} / {13.20})$$ kg = $${25}/{3}$$ kg = $$8{1}/{3}$$kg.

Ans: A

Failed in 1st subject = $$({35}/{100} × 2500)$$ = 875.

Failed in 2nd subject = $$({42}/{100} × 2500)$$ = 1050.

Failed in both = $$({15}/{100} × 2500)$$ = 375.

Failed in 1st subject only = (875 - 375) = 500.

Failed in 2nd subject only = (1050 - 375) = 675.

∴ Passed in 2nd only + Passed in 1st only = (675 + 500) = 1175.

Ans: B

Given expression = $$({28} / {100} × {36} / {100} × {5} / {7} × 5000)$$ = 360.
