Question Detail
Raman's salary was decreased by 50% and subsequently increased by 50%. How much percent does he loss.
- 75
- 65
- 45
- 25
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the origianl salary = Rs. 100
It will be 150% of (50% of 100)
= (150/100) * (50/100) * 100 = 75
So New salary is 75, It means his loss is 25%
1. In an examination, 34% of the students failed in mathematics and 42% failed in English. If 20% of the students failed in both the subjects, then find the percentage of students who passed in both the subjects.
- 40%
- 42%
- 44%
- 46%
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Failed in mathematics, n(A) = 34
Failed in English, n(B) = 42
\begin{aligned}
n(A\cup B) = n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B) \\
= 34+42-20 = 56 \\
\text{Failed in either or both subjects are 56} \\
\text{Percentage passed = }(100-56)\% \\
= 44\%
\end{aligned}
2. A housewife saved Rs. 2.50 in buying an item on sale. If she spent Rs. 25 for the item, approximately how much percent she saved in the transaction
- 9%
- 10%
- 11%
- 12%
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Actual Price = Rs.25 + Rs.2.50 = Rs.27.5
Saving = Rs.2.5
\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Saving = }\dfrac{2.5}{27.5}\times 100 \\
= \dfrac{250}{27.5} = \dfrac{2500}{275}\\
= \dfrac{100}{11} = 9\dfrac{1}{11}\% \approx 9\%\end{aligned}
3. A student multiplied a number by 3/5 instead of 5/3. What is the percentage error.
- 64%
- 65%
- 66%
- 67%
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the number be x,
then,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{5}{3} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{16}{15}x
\end{aligned}
Error% = \begin{aligned}
(\frac{16}{15}x * \frac{3}{5} * 100)% = 64%
\end{aligned}
4. 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.
- 60
- 70
- 75
- 80
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.

wats this ????
suppose original salary be Rs.100
then his salary was decreased by 50%, so, his salary becomes Rs.50 (according to the question)
Later, his salary was increased by 50%, so his new salary be Rs.75.
to conclude, his salary loss percent is (100-75)/100 * 100
finally, 25% is his loss. -
