Question: 1

At a special sale, 5 tickets can be purchased for the price of 3 tickets. If 5 tickets are purchased at the sale, the amount saved will be what percent of the original price of the 5 tickets?

(A) 20%

(B) $$33$$$$1 / {3}$$%

(C) 40%

(D) 60%

Ans: C

Let the original price of each ticket be Rs. 100.

Then, original price of 5 tickets = Rs. 500.

Sale price of 5 tickets = Rs. 300.

Amount saved = Rs. (500 – 300) = Rs. 200.

Therefore, Required percentage = $$(200 / {500} × 100)$$% = Rs. 40%.

Question: 2

The price of an article is cut by 20%. To restore it to the Former value, the new price must be increased by

(A) 20%

(B) 24%

(C) 25%

(D) 28%

Ans: C

Let original price = 100. New price = 80.

Increase on 80 = 20.

Increase on 100 = $$(20 / {80} × 100)$$% = 25%.

Question: 3

A company bought a total of 60 computers and 20 printers to modernise billing operations. If the price of each computer was three times the price of each printer, what percent of the total cost of the purchase was the total cost of the printer?

(A) 10%

(B) 11%

(C) 15%

(D) 20%

Ans: A

Let the price of each printer be Rs. x.

Then, price of each computer = (3x).

Total cost of printers = Rs. (20x).

Total cost of purchase = Rs. (60 x 3x + 20x) = Rs. (200x).

Therefore, Required percentage = $$({20x} / {200x} × 100)$$% = 10%.

Question: 4

Of the 50 researchers in a workgroup 40% will be assigned to Team A and the remaining 60% to Team B. However, 70% of the researchers prefer Team A and 30% prefer Team B. What is the least possible number of researchers who will not be assigned to the team they prefer?

(A) 15

(B) 20

(C) 30

(D) 35

Ans: A

Number of researches who prefer Team A = 70% of 50 = 35.

Number of researches who prefer Team B = (50 – 35) = 15.

Number of researches assigned to Team A = 40% of 50 = 20.

Number of researches assigned to Team B = (50 – 20) = 30.

To find the least possible number of researches who will not be assigned to the team they prefer, we assume that the maximum number of researches get the team they prefer.

So, number of researches who are assigned to the team they prefer
= 20 (Team A) + 15(Team B) = 35.

Therefore, Required number = (50 – 35) = 15.

Required percentage = $$(1.14 / {1.9} × 100)$$%

                               = $$(114 / {190} × 100)$$% = 60%.
