Solutions:
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Number of Science book initially = 40/100×110000
=44000
Number of books later on = 130000
Number of Science books = 45/100×130000=58500
Required number of books = (58500 – 44000)
= 14500
Solutions (3-4)
Let number of oranges with Alok = x
Shazmi bought = 1/4 x
Sandeep = 1/3.3/4 x=1/4 x
Siddharth bought = 1/4 x
1/4 x=4 and x=16
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Required answer = 16/4 = 4
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Required answer = 16
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Number of students taking only Science = 4
Or, 10% of total students = 4
Or, total students = 40
Required percentage = 7/40×100=17.5%
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. Let the number of boys = 400
Let the number of girls = 100
Total number of students who do not get scholarship
= 400×25/100×100×30/100
= 100 + 30 = 130
Required percentage
= 130/500×100=26%
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Let in 2000, the strength was 100
∴ in 2001 strength = 110
In 2002 strength = 110 × 90/100
In 2003 strength = 110 × 90/100 ×110/100
= 108.9
Required % increment =8.9%
Hence, strength after 3 years will increase by 8.9%
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Total height = 192m
Distance climbed in second hour = 1/8
=192×((8-5))/8×1/8
=192×3/8×1/8=9m
