Friends I know it is quite simple, but trust me while solving percentage questions in Hurry we use to do these types of mistake only. So I recommend you to have a bit practise of this.

1. One fourth of one third of two fifth of a number is 15. What will be40% of that number

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

(1/4) * (1/3) * (2/5) * x = 15 then x = 15 * 30 = 450
40% of 450 = 180

2. If x% of y is 100 and y% of z is 200, then find the relation between x and z.

z = x
2z = x
z = 2x
None of above

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

It is , y% of z = 2(x% of y)
=> yz/100 = 2xy/100
=> z = 2x

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

4. A student multiplied a number by 3/5 instead of 5/3. What is the percentage error.

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}
