Question 521

SBI Clerk 2025• Numerical Ability• Numerical Ability

Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

A school has three classes A, B and C. Class A has a total of 250 students, out of which 84% were present. The total number of students in Class B is 28% more than the total number of students in Class A, and 30 students were absent in Class B. The total number of absent students in Class A and Class B together is 70. The number of students present in Class C is 10 more than the number present in Class B, and 60 students were absent in Class C.

What is the total number of students in Class C?

  5. EOption (e)

    320

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

360

Why this answer is correct

Common Calculation

Class A:

Given: Total = 250, Present = 84%

⇒ Present = 250 × (84 / 100) = 210

⇒ Absent = 250 − 210 = 40

∴ Total = 250, Present = 210, Absent = 40

Class B:

Given: Total = 28% more than Class A, Absent = 30

⇒ Total = 250 + (28 / 100) × 250 = 320

⇒ Present = 320 − 30 = 290

∴ Total = 320, Present = 290, Absent = 30

Class C:

Given: Present = 10 more than Class B, Absent = 60

⇒ Present = 290 + 10 = 300

⇒ Total = 300 + 60 = 360

∴ Total = 360, Present = 300, Absent = 60

Given:

Present students in Class B = 290, Absent students in Class C = 60

Formula Used:

Total Students = Present Students + Absent Students

Calculation:

⇒ Present students in Class C = 290 + 10 = 300

⇒ Total students in Class C = 300 + 60 = 360

∴ The correct answer is 360.

    66 2/3 %

  5. EOption (e)

    0.56

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

66 2/3 %

Why this answer is correct

Common Calculation

Class A:

Given: Total = 250, Present = 84%

⇒ Present = 250 × (84 / 100) = 210

⇒ Absent = 250 − 210 = 40

∴ Total = 250, Present = 210, Absent = 40

Class B:

Given: Total = 28% more than Class A, Absent = 30

⇒ Total = 250 + (28 / 100) × 250 = 320

⇒ Present = 320 − 30 = 290

∴ Total = 320, Present = 290, Absent = 30

Class C:

Given: Present = 10 more than Class B, Absent = 60

⇒ Present = 290 + 10 = 300

⇒ Total = 300 + 60 = 360

∴ Total = 360, Present = 300, Absent = 60

Given:

Absent students in Class A = 40, Absent students in Class C = 60

Formula Used:

Required Percentage = (Value / Base Value) × 100

Calculation:

⇒ Required Percentage = (40 / 60) × 100

⇒ Required Percentage = (2 / 3) × 100

⇒ Required Percentage = 66 2 / 3 %

∴ The correct answer is 66 2/3 %.

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

5

Why this answer is correct

Solution:

Amount invested by A = Rs.13500

Amount invested by B = Rs.16000

A invested for 12 months and B invested for (12 – y) months

Let x = 12 − y

(13500 × 12)/ (16000 ×  x) = 81/56

((13500 ×  12) ×  56)/81 = (16000 ×  x)

112,000 = 16000 ×  x

7 = x

y = (12 – 7) = 5

Question 527

SBI Clerk 2025• Numerical Ability• Numerical Ability

Rishi invested an amount of Rs. 14440 for two years at compound interest and recieved an amount of Rs. 16810 on maturity. what is the rate of interest.

    6.13%

  2. BOption (b)

    6.31%

  3. COption (c)

    7.13%

  4. DOption (d)

    7.89%

  5. EOption (e)

    7.5%

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

7.89%

Why this answer is correct

Shortcut Trick

For a 2-year period, the ratio of Amount (A) to Principal (P) is the square of the 1-year multiplier.

√(A/P) = √(16810/14440) = √(1681/1444) = 41/38

Interest for 1 unit of time = 41 − 38 = 3 units on 38 units.

Rate % = (3/38) × 100 = 150/19 ≈ 7.89%

∴ The correct answer is 7.89%.

Alternate Method

Given: Principal (P) = ₹14440, Amount (A) = ₹16810, Time (n) = 2 years.

Formula Used: A = P(1 + R/100)n

⇒ 16810 = 14440(1 + R/100)2

⇒ 16810 / 14440 = (1 + R/100)2

⇒ 1681 / 1444 = (1 + R/100)2

⇒ √(1681 / 1444) = 1 + R/100

⇒ 41 / 38 = 1 + R/100

⇒ R/100 = (41 / 38) − 1

⇒ R/100 = 3 / 38

⇒ R = 300 / 38 = 7.8947...

∴ The correct answer is 7.89%.

Additional Information

Compound Interest Formula

The amount A is calculated as A = P(1 + r/n)nt, where P is principal, r is annual rate, and t is time in years.

Annual vs Half-Yearly Compounding

For half-yearly, the rate is halved (R/2) and the time period is doubled (2n). For quarterly, rate is R/4 and time is 4n.

Effective Rate of Interest

It is the actual interest rate earned over a year due to compounding: Effective Rate = (1 + r/n)n − 1.

  5. EOption (e)

    None of these

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

22 years

Why this answer is correct

Given:

The average age of A and B is 20 years

The average age of B and C is 19 years

The average age of A and C is 21 years

Concept Used:

Average (A) = S/N

Where, S = sum of observations, and N = number of observations

Calculation:

The sum of the ages of A and B = 20 × 2 = 40 years

The sum of the ages of B and C = 19 × 2 = 38 years

The sum of the ages of A and C = 21 × 2 = 42 years

So, 2 × (A + B + C) = 120

Then, the total ages of A, B, and C = 120/2 = 60 years

Age of A = 60 - 38 = 22 years

∴ The correct answer is option 2

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

15

Why this answer is correct

Given:

A boat can go 68 km downstream and 52 km upstream in 8 hours

it can go 65 km upstream and 34 km downstream in 7 hours

Formula used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Speed of the boat = (Downstream + Upstream)/2

Calculation:

According to the question,

Let U and D be the upstream and downstream,

\(\frac{68}{D}+\frac{52}{U}=8 \)  --------(1)

\(\frac{34}{D}+\frac{65}{U}=7 \)  --------(2)

by performing this [(1) ÷ 4] - [(2) ÷ 2]

We get,

\(\frac{68}{4\times D}+\frac{52}{4 \times U} -\frac{34}{2 \times D}-\frac{65}{2 \times U} =\frac{8}{4} -\frac{7}{2} \)

\(\frac{17}{ D}+\frac{13}{U} -\frac{17}{ D}-\frac{32.5}{U} =2 -3.5\)

\(\frac{13}{U} -\frac{32.5}{U} =-1.5 \)

\( -\frac{19.5}{U} =-1.5 \)

U = 19.5/1.5

Upstream = 13 km/hr   ------(3)

Substitute (3) in equation (1),

\(\frac{68}{D}+\frac{52}{13}=8 \)

\(\frac{68}{D}+4=8 \)

Downstream = 68/4

= 17 km/hr

Speed of boat = (17 + 13)/2

= 30/2

= 15 km/hr

Answer is 15.

  5. EOption (e)

    None of these

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

900

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Minimum Aggregate marks to pass in the exam = 540

Marks obtained by Subham = 432

Formula:

Minimum passing marks = Subham’s marks + 12% of the total marks

Calculation:

Let the maximum or total marks = x

Subham failed by 12% marks

⇒ 12% of total marks = minimum passing marks – Subham’s marks

⇒ 12% of x = 540 – 432

⇒ (12/100) × x = 108

⇒ x = 108 × 100/12

⇒ x = 900

∴ Maximum aggregate or total marks is 900.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

75% (3:4)

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Employees in HR of Company X = 48

Employees in Sales of Company Y = 32

Employees in Marketing of Company Z = 32

Formula Used:

Percentage = (Target Value / Reference Sum) × 100

Calculation:

⇒ Combined Reference Employees = 32 + 32 = 64

⇒ Required Percentage = (48 / 64) × 100

⇒ Required Ratio = 48 : 64 = 3 : 4

⇒ Required Percentage = (3 / 4) × 100 = 75%

∴ The correct answer is 75% (3:4).

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

1200

Why this answer is correct

Solution:

Total number of vegetarians in city D, E and F = 700 × 3 = 2100

Number of vegetarians in city D and E = (550 + 950) = 1500

Number of vegetarians in city F = (2100 - 1500) = 600

Total number of non vegetarians in city D, E and F = 600 × 3 = 1800

Number of non vegetarians in city D and E = (500 + 700) = 1200

Number of non vegetarians in city F = (1800 - 1200) = 600

Required total = (600 + 600) = 1200
