6. The population of a city decreased from 25000 to 24500. The percentage of decrease is:
(a) 5%
(b) 2%
(c) 4%
(d) 3%
(% decrease =(24500 – 25000)/25000×100=2%)

(a) 48%
(b) 52%
(c) 50%

(b) 0.05
(c) 0.005
(d) 5.00
(0.25/5
=0.05 )
9. The place value of 1 in 0.0159 is :

(c) 1/100
(d) 1/1000
(The place of value of 1 is 1/100)
10. The average 16, 13, 15, 11, 8 and 7 is 12, the value of x is :
(a) 9
(b) 10
(c) 12
(d) 14
(Average = (Sum of Numbers)/(Total Numbers)
12=(16 + 13 +15 + 11 + x + 8 + 7)/7
84 = 16 + 13 + 15 + 11 + x + 8 + 7
x = 84 – (16 + 13 + 15 + 11 + 8 + 7)
= 84 – 70 = 14 )
