Question: 6

30% apples out of 450 are rotten. How many apples are in good condition?

(A) 180

(B) 240

(C) 315

(D) 335

Ans: C

Number of rotten apples = 30% of 450 = $$(30 / {100} × 450)$$ = 135.

Therefore, Number of good apples = (450 – 135) = 315.

Question: 7

A bakery opened with its daily supply of 40 dozen rolls. Half of the rolls were sold by noon and 60% of the remaining rolls were sold between noon and closing time. How many dozen rolls were left unsold?

(A) 6

(B) 7

(C) 8

(D) 10

Ans: C

Number of rolls sold by noon = $$1 / {2}$$ of 40 dozen = 20 dozen.

Number of rolls sold between noon and closing time

= 60% of 20 dozen = ($$(60 / {100} × 20)$$ dozen = 12 dozen.

Number of rolls left unsold = [(40 – (20 + 12)] dozen = 8 dozen.

Question: 8

The price of rice is reduced by 2%. How many kilograms of rice can now be bought for the money which was sufficient to buy 49 kg of rice earlier?

(A) 48 kg

(B) 49 kg

(C) 50 kg

(D) 51 kg

Ans: C

Let the original price be Rs. 100 per kg.

Money required to buy 49 kg of rice = Rs. (100 x 49) = Rs. 4900.

New price = Rs. 98 per kg.

Quantity of rice bought = $$({4900}/ {98})$$ kg = 50 kg.

Question: 9

In an examination, 35% candidates failed in one subject and 42% failed in another subject while 15% failed in both the subjects. If 2500 candidates appeared at the examination, how many passed in either subject but not in both?

(A) 325

(B) 1170

(C) 1175

(D) 2125

Ans: C

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.
