2. 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}

4. Due to an increase in 30% in the price of eggs, 3 eggs less are available for Rs. 7.80. Find the present rate of eggs per dozen.

Rs. 9.36
Rs. 10.36
Rs. 11.36
Rs. 12.36

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the original price per egg be Rs x
Then increased price will be,
\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{130}{100}x\right) \\
=> \frac{7.80}{x}-\frac{7.80}{\frac{130}{100}x} = 3\\
=> \frac{7.80}{x}-\frac{780}{130x} = 3 \\
=> 390x = 234 \\
=> x = 0.6 \\

\text{Actual price was Rs 0.6} \\
\text{Present price per dozen will be} \\
Rs.\left(12*\frac{130}{100}*0.6 \right) \\
= Rs. 9.36
\end{aligned}
