Question Detail

A batsman scored 120 runs which included 3 boundaries and 8 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Number of runs made by running = 110 - (3 x 4 + 8 x 6)
= 120 - (60)
= 60

Now, we need to calculate 60 is what percent of 120.

=> 60/120 * 100 = 50 %

1. 1/2 is what percent of 1/3

150%
200%
250%
300%

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

1/2/1/3 * 100 = 1/2 * 3/1 * 100 = 150 %

2. Teacher took exam for English, average for the entire class was 80 marks. If we say that 10% of the students scored 95 marks and 20% scored 90 marks then calcualte average marks of the remaining students of the class.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Lets assume that total number of students in class is 100 and required average be x.
Then from the given statement we can calculate :
(10 * 95) + (20 * 90) + (70 * x) = (100 * 80)

=> 70x = 8000 - (950 + 1800) = 5250

=> x = 75.

3. A batsman scored 120 runs which included 3 boundaries and 8 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Number of runs made by running = 110 - (3 x 4 + 8 x 6)
= 120 - (60)
= 60

Now, we need to calculate 60 is what percent of 120.

=> 60/120 * 100 = 50 %

4. In an election between two candidates, 75 % of the voters cast their votes, out of which 2% of the votes were declared invalid. A candidate got 9261 votes which were 75% of the total valid votes. Find the total number of votes.

16800
15800
16700
15700

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the total number of votes enrolled are x.
Number of votes cast = 75% of x
Valid votes = 98% of 75% of x

Now, as 9261 is the 75% of valid casted votes so,

75% of 98% of 75% of x = 9261 [imporant]

$\begin{align} => \frac{75 \times 98 \times 75 \times x}{100 \times 100 \times 100} = 9261 \\ => x = 16800 \end{align}$
