Solutions

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Here, money spent on college fees
= Rs. 89745
Money spent on personality development classes
= Rs. 51291
Total amount = 89745 + 51291
= Rs. 141036
Now, remaining amount = (100 – 27)%
= 73%
So, 73% = 141036
⇒ 1%=141036/73
⇒ 100%=(141036/73)×100
= Rs. 193200

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Here, money spent on buying air conditioner
= Rs. 31897
Money spent on buying plasma television
= Rs. 38789
∴ Total money spent = 31897 + 38789
= Rs. 70686
Now, she has left with 23% of total cash
Hence, 77% = 70686 ⇒ 1% =70686/77
⇒ 100%=(70686/77)×100
= 918 × 100
= Rs. 91800

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Here,
Money spent on air tickets = Rs. 44668
Total amount = Rs. 101400
This is equal to = (100 – 22)% = 78% of total money
So, 78% = 101400
⇒ 1% =101400/78
∴ 100%=(101400/78)×100
= Rs. 130000

S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Let C’s share in the amount be Rs. x
Then, B’s share =x ×(75/100)=3x/4
A’s share =(3x/4)×(125/100)
=375x/400
Now, A + B + C = 731
⇒ (375x/400)+(3x/4)+x=731
⇒ (375x + 300x + 400x)/400=731
⇒ 1075x = 731 × 400
⇒ x=(731 × 400)/1075
=(17 × 400)/25=17×16 = Rs. 272

S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Let Giridhar’s monthly income be Rs. 100
Then, money spent on household’s item
=100×(50/100) = Rs. 50
Remaining amount = 100 – 50 = Rs. 50
Money spent on transport
=50×(50/100) = Rs. 25
Money spent on entertainment
=50×(25/100) = Rs. 12.5
Money spent on sports
=50×(10/100) = Rs. 5
∴ Last remaining amount
= 100 – (50 + 25 + 12.5 + 5)
100 – (92.5) = Rs. 7.5
∴ Rs. 7.5 is saved, when total income is Rs. 100
∴ Rs. 1 is saved, when total income =100/7.5
Now, Rs. 900 is saved, when total income
=(100/7.5)×900
= 100 × 120
= Rs. 12000

S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. Let Mr X monthly income be Rs. 100
Then, money spent on household expenditure
=100×(20/100) = Rs. 20
∴ Remaining amount = 100 – 20 = Rs. 80
Money spent on children’s education
=80×(25/100) = Rs. 20
Money spent on transport
=80×(15/100) = Rs. 12
Money spent on medicine
=80×(15/100) = Rs. 12
Money spent on entertainment
=80×(10/100) = Rs. 8
∴ Last remaining amount
= 100 – (20 + 20 + 12 + 12 + 8)
= 100 – 72 = Rs. 28
Now, Rs. 28 is left, when total income is Rs. 100
Rs. 1 is left, when total income =100/28
∴ Rs. 9800 is left, when total income
=(100/28)×9800
= Rs. 35000

S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. Here, sweets that are got by each student
=(20/100)×35=7
∴ Total number of sweets distributed students
= 35 × 7 = 255
Now, sweets that are got by each teacher
=(40/100)×35=14
∴ Total number of sweets distributed to teachers
= 6 × 14 = 84
So, total number of sweets
= 255 + 84 = 339

S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Here, number of sweets got by each student
=80×(15/100)=12
So, total number of sweets got by all students
= 12 × 80 = 960
Number of sweets got by each teacher =80×(25/100)=20
So, total number of sweets got by all teachers
= 20 × 5 = 100
∴ Total number of sweets which are distributed to teachers and students
= 960 + 100 = 1060

S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Let total number of children be x
Then, each child gets (x×20/100) sweets
Now, (x/5) × x=405
⇒ x^2=405×5
⇒ x^2=81×25
⇒ x = 9 × 5
= 45 sweets
