In an election contested by two parties A and B, party A secured 25 percent of the total
votes more than Party B. If party B gets 15000 votes. By how much votes does party B
loses the election?
Correct
Let total votes = T and party B gets 15000 votes
then party A will get T -15000 votes
T – 15000 – 15000 = 25T/100
T = 40000, so A get 25000 and B gets 15000
votes, so difference = 10000
Incorrect
Let total votes = T and party B gets 15000 votes
then party A will get T -15000 votes
T – 15000 – 15000 = 25T/100
T = 40000, so A get 25000 and B gets 15000
votes, so difference = 10000

Let total apples be 100
first day he throws = 50*20/100 = 10 apples
next day he throws = 40*40/100 = 16 apples

40% of the women are above 30 years of age and 80 percent of the women are less than
or equal to 50 years of age. 20 percent of all women play basketball. If 30 percent of the
women above the age of 50 plays basketball, what percent of players are less than or equal to 50 years?
Correct
take total women =100
Women less than or equal to 50 years = 80 and
women above 50 years = 20
20 = women plays basketball
30% of the women above 50 plays basketball =6
So remaining 14 women who plays basketball
are less than or equal to 50 years
So (14/20)*100 = 70%
Incorrect
take total women =100
Women less than or equal to 50 years = 80 and
women above 50 years = 20
20 = women plays basketball
30% of the women above 50 plays basketball =6
So remaining 14 women who plays basketball
are less than or equal to 50 years
So (14/20)*100 = 70%

Alisha goes to a supermarket and bought things worth rupees 60, out of which 40 paise
went on sales tax. If the tax rate is 10 percent, then what was the cost of tax free items?
Correct
tax = 40/100 = (10/100)*T, T = 4
so cost of tax free items = 60 – 4 – 0.40 = 55.60
Incorrect
tax = 40/100 = (10/100)*T, T = 4
so cost of tax free items = 60 – 4 – 0.40 = 55.60

month in the company is 60 percent of the total employees. What fraction of men earns
less than 20000 per month?
Correct
let total employees are 100
males = 40 and females = 60 (45 women earns
more than 20000)
total 60 employee earns more than 20000 per
month, so number of males earns more than
20000 is 15
so fraction = 25/40 = 5/8
Incorrect
let total employees are 100
males = 40 and females = 60 (45 women earns
more than 20000)
total 60 employee earns more than 20000 per
month, so number of males earns more than
20000 is 15
so fraction = 25/40 = 5/8

The number of seats in a cinema hall is decreased by 12 percent and the price of
tickets also decreased by 4 percent. Find the change in the collection of revenue.
Correct
Let initial seats = 100 and cost per seat = 100,
so initial revenue = 10000

Weight of A and B are in the ratio of 3:5. If the weight of A is increased by 20 percent
and then the total weight becomes 132 kg with an increase of 10 percent. B weight is
increased by what percent.
Correct
Weight of A and B are 3x and 5x.
Initial weight before increase = (132*100)/110 =
120
8x = 120. X = 15
Initial weight of A and B are 45 and 75 kg
respectively.
New weight of A = 54 so weight of B = 132 –
54 = 78.
So % increase = [(78-75)/75]*100 = 4 %
Incorrect
Weight of A and B are 3x and 5x.
Initial weight before increase = (132*100)/110 =
120

Initial weight of A and B are 45 and 75 kg
respectively.
New weight of A = 54 so weight of B = 132 –
54 = 78.
So % increase = [(78-75)/75]*100 = 4 %
