then,

(100-25)% of (100 - 10)% x = 4050
=> 75% of 90% of x = 4050
=> 75/100 * 90/100 * x = 4050
=> x = (4050*50)/27 = 6000

3. Rahul's Mathematics test had 75 problems, 10 arithmetic, 30 algebra, 35 geometry problems. Although he answered 70% of arithmetic, 40% of arithmetic and 60% of geometry problems correctly, still he got less than 60% problems right. How many more questions he would have to answer more to get passed

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Number of questions attempted correctly = (70% of 10 + 40% of 30 + 60% of 35)
= 7 + 12 + 21 = 40.

Questions to be answered correctly for 60% = 60% of total quations
= 60 % of 75 = 45.

He would have to answer 45 - 40 = 5
