Given:

35% of 750 =?

Formula Used:

a% of b = a × b/100

Calculation:

35% of 750

⇒ 35 × 750/100 = 26250/100 = 262.50

Hence, 35% of 750 equals to 262.50.

Given:

49% of (50% of 400) =?

Formula Used:

a% of b = a × b/100

Calculation:

⇒ 49% of (50% of 400) 

⇒ 49% of (50 × 400)/100  

⇒ 49% of 50 × 4 

⇒ 49% of 200 

⇒ 49 × 200/100 

⇒ 49 × 2 

⇒ 98

Hence, 49% of (50% of 400) = 98.

Given:

Distance = 576 km

Quantity of petrol used = 45 liters

Concept Used:

If A km is travelled in B litre petrol then,

Distance covered using 1 ltr petrol = A/B

Calculation:

Distance covered using 1 ltr petrol = 576/45

Distance covered using 1 ltr petrol = 576/45 × 65

⇒ 64/5  × 65 

⇒ 64 × 13 

⇒ 832 km

Hence, car will travel 832 km distance using 65 liters of petrol.

Given:

Areas of three adjacent faces of cuboid = 216, 150, 576

The volume of cuboid = √xyz

⇒ √216 × 150 × 576

⇒ √(36 × 6 × 150 × 576)

⇒ √(36 × 900 × 576) = 6 × 30 × 24 = 4,320 cu. units

Hence, The volume of the cuboid is 4,320 cu. units.

Given:

33 - [{(3 × 2) - (45 ÷ 9)} + (3 ÷ 10)] =?

Formula Used:

We have to follow the BODMAS rule

Calculation:

⇒ 33 - [{(3 × 2) - (45 ÷ 9)} + (3 ÷ 10)] =?

⇒ 33 - [{6 - 5 + 0.3}]

⇒ 33 - [{-5 + 6.3}]

⇒ 33 - [1.3]

⇒ 33 - 1.3 = 31.7 

Hence, 33 - [{(3 × 2) - (45 ÷ 9)} + (3 ÷ 10)] = 31.7

Formula Used:

Divisibility rule of 5 : If last digit of a number is either 0 or 5 then it is divisible by 5.

Calculation:

102 = Here last digit is 2

202 = Here last digit is 2

122 = Here last digit is 2

120 = Here last digit is 0,

∴ 120 is divisible by 5.

Given:

(19.8 ×  20.2) + 0.04 = ?

Formula Used:

We have to follow the BODMAS rule

and 

( a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²

Calculation:

⇒ (19.8 ×  20.2) + 0.04 = ?

⇒ (20 - 0.2)(20 + 0.2) + 0.04

⇒ (20)² - (0.2)² + 0.04 

⇒ 400 - 0/04 + 0.04 = 400

Hence, (19.8 ×  20.2) + 0.04 = 400.

Given:

X and Y can finish a work in 32 days and 40 days respectively.

Formula Used:

If A finish a work in D days then →

per day work of A = 1/D

Calculation:

Per day work of X = 1/32

Per day work of Y = 1/40

12 days work of X is = 12 × 1/32 = 3/8

Remaining work = 1 - 3/8 = 5/8

When X and Y work together then,

Per day work of both = 1/32 + 1/40 = (5 + 4)/160 = 9/160

Number of days required for finishing the remaining work = (5/8)/(9/160) = 5/8 ×  160/9 

⇒ (5 × 20)/9 = 100/9 = 11.11

∴ Total number of days = 12 + 11.11 = 23.11

Hence, total number of days to finish the work are 23.11 days.

Given:

Marked Price = 900 Rs.

Discount % = 30%

Formula Used:

Discount = Marked price × discount/100

Calculation:

Discount = Marked price × discount/100

⇒ 900 × 30/100 = 9 × 30 = 270

Selling price = 900 - 270 = Rs 630.

Hence, Price of the after discount is Rs. 630

Given:

Car X is 25% faster than car Y.

Distance = 125 km. 

Concept Used:

We know that,

Speed = Distance/time

If distance is constant, then speed is inversely proportional to time

Calculation:

Speed of X : Speed of Y = 5 : 4

Time of X : Time of Y = 4 : 5

Difference in time = 5 - 4 = 1

∴ 1 unit = 10.5 min (break taken by X)

⇒ 5 unit = 10.5 × 5 = 52.5 min 

∴ Total time taken by car Y to complete the journey is 52.5 min

Speed of car Y = 125/(525/60) = 125 × 60/52.5

⇒ 125 × 600/525 = 5 × 600/21 = 5 × 200/7 = 1000/7 kmph

Hence, Speed of car Y is 1000/7 kmph.

Given:

Cost Price = Rs. 4,45,000

Discount % = 20%

Profit % = 12%

Formula Used:

Profit = CP × profit%/100

Calculation:

Profit = CP × profit%/100

⇒ 4,45,000 × 12/100 = 4,450 × 12 = 53,400

Selling price = 4,45,00 + 53,400 = 4,98,400

Marked price = 4,98,400 × 100/80 

⇒ 6230 × 100 = 623,000

Given:

Ratio of the total salary of all men to that of all women in a call center = 7 ∶ 5.

Ratio of the salary of each man to that of each woman = 5 ∶ 3

Calculation: 

Let, Number of men = M and Number of women = W

Total salary of all men = 5M = 7

M = 7/5

Total salary of all women = 3W = 5

W = 5/3

M : W = 7/5 : 5/3

⇒ 7 × 3 : 5 × 5

⇒ 21 : 25

Given:

Principal = Rs. 12,000

Time = 2 years

Rate of interest = 5%

Formula Used:

Amount = P(1 + R/100)ⁿ

Calculation:

Amount = P(1 + R/100)n

⇒ 12,000 (1 + 5/100)²

⇒ 12,000(21/20)²

⇒ 12,000 × 21/20 × 21/20

⇒ 30 × 21 × 21 = Rs. 13, 230

Compound interest = 13,230 - 12,000 = Rs. 1230

Hence, Compound interest = Rs. 1,230

Given:

10% of 250 + 15% of 700 + 231 of (2 ÷ 3) – 21% of X = 200

Concept Used:

We have to follow the BODMAS rule

Calculation:

10% of 250 + 15% of 700 + 231 of (2 ÷ 3) – 21% of X = 200

⇒ 25 + 105 + 231 × 2/3 - 21% of X = 200

⇒ 130 + 154 - 21% of X = 200

⇒ 284 - 21% of X = 200

⇒ -21%X = 200 - 284 = -84

X = 84 × 100/21 = 400

Given:

Ratio of surface areas of two spheres = 48 : 27

Formula Used:

Surface area of sphere = 4πr²

Volume of sphere = 4/3πr³

Calculation:

Ratio of surface area = 4πr₁² : 4πr₂²  = r₁² : r₂²

⇒ r₁²/r₂² = 48/27 = 4/3

Ratio of volume = 4/3πr₁³ : 4/3πr₂³ = r13 : r23 = 4³ : 3³ = 64 : 27

Given:

Expenditure of Q in 5 years = 120 + 95 + 120 + 45 + 120

Expenditure Of R in 5 years = 70 + 70 + 120 + 20 + 120 

Formula Used:

Greatness% of Q = (Exp. of Q - Exp. of R)/Exp. of R × 100

Calculation:

Total expenditure of Q in 5 years =  120 + 95 + 120 + 45 + 120 = 500

Expenditure Of R in 5 years = 70 + 70 + 120 + 20 + 120 = 400

Greatness% of Q = (Exp. of Q - Exp. of R)/Exp. of R × 100

⇒ 100/400 × 100% = 100%/4 = 25%

So, The advertisement expenditure on product Q in the given 5 years is that of product R 25% more than the advertising expenditure.

Given:

Two numbers = 121, 91

Concept Used:

LCM of the numbers is least common multiple of all given numbers.

Calculation:

1101 = Not a multiple of 121

1001 = Also not a multiple of 121

11011 = Multiple of both 121 & 91

11001 = Not a multiple of 121

Hence, 11,011 is LCM of 121 & 91

Given:

A graph of data sets, median of which to be found.

Concept used:

• To find the median of grouped data, make a table of cumulative frequency table.
• After this, we find the class in which half of the sum of frequencies is located. It is called the median class.

Calculation:

Table for class interval, frequency and cumulative frequency is given below - 

Here, N = 60 

N/2 = 60/2 = 30

And, cumulative frequency 30 lies in frequency class 25-30.

So  frequency class 25-30 is correct answer.

Given:

Initial speed of aeroplane = 320 kmph 

Initial time = 8 hours

Formula Used:

speed = distance/time

Calculation:

Distance = speed × time

⇒ 320 × 8 = 2560 km

Speed to cover the same distance in 32/5 hours = distance/time = 2560/(32/5) = 2560 × 5/32 = 80 × 5 = 400kmph

∴ To cover the same distance in (32/5) hours, it should travel at a speed of 400 kmph.

Given:

A graph of class intervals and their respective frequencies is given, class interval for lowest frequency of which to be found.

Concept used:

• To find the median of grouped data, make a table of cumulative frequency table.

Calculation:

Table for class interval and frequency is given below - 

With the above table, We can see that lowest frequency is 5 that lies in class interval 40-50.

∴ The frequency class 40-50 is correct answer.
