Shortcut Trick

Increase % = 120%

Increase Value = ₹720

⇒ 120% → ₹720

⇒ 1% → ₹6

⇒ New Price (100% + 120%) = 220% → 220 × 6 = ₹1320

∴ The correct answer is ₹1320.

Alternate Method

Given:

Percentage increase in tomato price = 120%

Absolute increase in price = ₹720

Formula Used:

New Price = Original Price + Increase

Calculations:

Let the original price of 1 kg tomato be x.

⇒ 120% of x = 720

⇒ (120 ÷ 100) × x = 720

⇒ 1.2x = 720

⇒ x = 720 ÷ 1.2 = 600

⇒ Original Price = ₹600

⇒ New Price = Original Price + Increase

⇒ New Price = 600 + 720 = 1320

∴ The correct answer is ₹1320.

Additional Information

Percentage Increase Formula

Percentage Increase = (Increase Value ÷ Original Value) × 100. To find the new value directly, use: New Value = Original Value × (100 + Increase%) ÷ 100.

Successive Percentage Change

If a value increases by a% and then by b%, the net percentage change is given by [a + b + (a × b) ÷ 100]%.

Base Change Rule

If price increases by r%, then to keep expenditure constant, consumption must decrease by [r ÷ (100 + r)] × 100%.

Given:

B1 and B2 together can complete a work in 20 days.

B2 alone can complete the same work in 60 days.

Formula Used:

Work Rate of B1 and B2 together = 1 / Total days together

Work Rate of B2 = 1 / Total days B2 alone

Work Rate of B1 = Work Rate of B1 and B2 together - Work Rate of B2

Days for B1 alone = 1 / Work Rate of B1

Calculation:

Work Rate of B1 and B2 together = 1 / 20

Work Rate of B2 = 1 / 60

Work Rate of B1 = (1 / 20) - (1 / 60)

⇒ Work Rate of B1 = (3 - 1) / 60

⇒ Work Rate of B1 = 2 / 60

⇒ Work Rate of B1 = 1 / 30

Days for B1 alone = 1 / (1 / 30)

⇒ Days for B1 alone = 30 days

B1 alone can complete the work in 30 days.

Given:

The sum of money becomes three times of itself in 24 years.

Formula Used:

Simple Interest (SI) = Principal (P) × Rate (R) × Time (T) / 100

Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI)

Calculation:

Let the principal amount be P.

Amount after 24 years = 3P

Simple Interest (SI) = Amount - Principal

SI = 3P - P

SI = 2P

Using the formula for Simple Interest:

SI = P × R × 24 / 100

⇒ 2P = P × R × 24 / 100

⇒ 2 = R × 24 / 100

⇒ 2 = 24R / 100

⇒ 2 × 100 = 24R

⇒ 200 = 24R

⇒ R = 200 / 24

⇒ R = 8.33%

The rate of simple interest is 8.33%.

Given:

Length increase = 50%

Breadth increase = 20%

Height decrease = 30%

Formula Used:

New Volume = Original Volume × (1 + Length Increase) × (1 + Breadth Increase) × (1 - Height Decrease)

Calculation:

Let original length = L, original breadth = B, original height = H

Original Volume = L × B × H

New Length = L × 1.50

New Breadth = B × 1.20

New Height = H × 0.70

New Volume = L × 1.50 × B × 1.20 × H × 0.70

New Volume = L × B × H × 1.50 × 1.20 × 0.70

New Volume = Original Volume × 1.50 × 1.20 × 0.70

⇒ New Volume = Original Volume × 1.26

Percentage Increase in Volume = (New Volume - Original Volume) / Original Volume × 100

Percentage Increase in Volume = (1.26 - 1) / 1 × 100

Percentage Increase in Volume = 0.26 × 100

Percentage Increase in Volume = 26%

The percentage increase in the volume of the cuboid is 26%.

Given:

x : y = 3 : 5

z : w = 2x : 5y

Formula Used:

To find the value of xz : yw

Calculation:

x : y = 3 : 5

z : w = 2x : 5y

Substitute x = 3k and y = 5k:

z : w = 2(3k) : 5(5k)

z : w = 6k : 25k

xz : yw = (3k × 6k) : (5k × 25k)

⇒ xz : yw = 18k² : 125k²

⇒ xz : yw = 18 : 125

The value of xz : yw is 18 : 125.

Given:

Marked price (MP) is 250% of the cost price (CP).

Discount given is 50%.

Formula Used:

Profit Percentage = (Selling Price - Cost Price)/(Cost Price) × 100

Calculation:

Let the cost price (CP) be 100 units.

Marked price (MP) = 250% of CP

⇒ MP = 250 / 100 × 100

⇒ MP = 250 units

Discount = 50% of MP

⇒ Discount = 50 / 100 × 250

⇒ Discount = 125 units

Selling Price (SP) = MP - Discount

⇒ SP = 250 - 125

⇒ SP = 125 units

Profit = SP - CP

⇒ Profit = 125 - 100

⇒ Profit = 25 units

Profit Percentage = (Profit)/(CP) × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = (25)/(100) × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = 25%

The profit percentage is 25%.

Given:

Distance to the destination = 150 km.

Bus left 60 minutes (1 hour) late.

Increased speed = Usual speed + 5 km/hr.

Formula Used:

Time = Distance / Speed

Usual Time = Distance / Usual Speed

Increased Speed Time = Distance / (Usual Speed + 5)

Calculation:

Let the usual speed be x km/hr.

Usual time to cover 150 km = 150 / x

Time taken with increased speed = 150 / (x + 5)

Since the bus was 1 hour late, the time difference is 1 hour.

⇒ 150 / x - 150 / (x + 5) = 1

Multiply through by x(x + 5):

⇒ 150(x + 5) - 150x = x(x + 5)

⇒ 150x + 750 - 150x = x² + 5x

⇒ 750 = x² + 5x

Rearrange to form a quadratic equation:

⇒ x² + 5x - 750 = 0

⇒ x2 - 25x + 30x - 750 = 0

⇒ x (x - 25) + 30 (x - 25) = 0

⇒ x = 25 or x = -30

Since speed cannot be negative, the usual speed is 25 km/hr.

The usual speed of the bus is 25 km/hr.

Given:

Difference between cost price (CP) and selling price (SP) = Rs. 560

Profit percentage = 35%

Formula Used:

Profit = Selling Price (SP) - Cost Price (CP)

Profit Percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100

Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

Calculation:

Let the Cost Price (CP) be Rs. x.

Profit = SP - CP = Rs. 560

Profit Percentage = 35%

$\text{Profit Percentage} = ( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}} ) × 100$

$35 = ( \frac{560}{x} ) × 100$

$\Rightarrow 35x = 560 × 100$

$\Rightarrow 35x = 56000$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{56000}{35}$

$\Rightarrow x = 1600$

So, Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 1600

Selling Price (SP) = Cost Price + Profit

SP = 1600 + 560

SP = 2160

The selling price is Rs. 2160.

Given:

Radius of the hemisphere, r = 2.1 cm.

Formula Used:

Volume of a hemisphere = $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

Calculation:

Using the formula:

Volume = $\frac{2}{3}\pi (2.1)^3$

First, calculate $(2.1)^3$:

⇒ 2.1 × 2.1 × 2.1

⇒ 4.41 × 2.1

⇒ 9.261

Now, multiply by $\frac{2}{3}\pi$:

Volume = $\frac{2}{3}\pi × 9.261$

Using π ≈ 3.14:

Volume = $\frac{2}{3} × 3.14 × 9.261$

⇒ $\frac{2}{3} × 29.08974$

⇒ 19.39316 cm³

∴ The correct option is (3).

Given:

The ratio of incomes of Anil and Vikas = 8 ∶ 5

Vikas gets Rs. 3000 less than Anil

Formula Used:

If the ratio of incomes is a ∶ b and the difference in incomes is D, then:

Anil's income = a × D / (a - b)

Vikas's income = b × D / (a - b)

Total income = Anil's income + Vikas's income

Calculation:

Given ratio a ∶ b = 8 ∶ 5 and D = Rs. 3000

Anil's income = 8 × 3000 / (8 - 5)

⇒ Anil's income = 8 × 3000 / 3

⇒ Anil's income = 8 × 1000

⇒ Anil's income = Rs. 8000

Vikas's income = 5 × 3000 / (8 - 5)

⇒ Vikas's income = 5 × 3000 / 3

⇒ Vikas's income = 5 × 1000

⇒ Vikas's income = Rs. 5000

Total income = Anil's income + Vikas's income

⇒ Total income = 8000 + 5000

⇒ Total income = Rs. 13000

The total income of Anil and Vikas is Rs. 13000.

Given:

Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 236

Profit = Rs. 46

Formula Used:

Profit Percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100

Cost Price (CP) = Selling Price (SP) - Profit

Calculation:

CP = SP - Profit

⇒ CP = 236 - 46

⇒ CP = 190

Profit Percentage = (Profit / CP) × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = (46 / 190) × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = 0.2421 × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = 24.21%

The profit percentage is 24.21%.

Given:

Calculation:

Let the first number of the 25 consecutive natural numbers be a.

Then, the last 13 numbers are a + 12, a + 13, ..., a + 24 .

The average of these 13 numbers is given by:

$\frac{(a + 12) + (a + 24)}{2}$ = 39

⇒$\frac{2a + 36}{2}$ = 39

⇒ a + 18 = 39

⇒ a = 21

The 25 consecutive numbers are 21, 22, ..., 45.

The average of these 25 numbers is given by:

$\frac{21 + 45}{2}$ = 33

The average of all 25 numbers is 33.

Formula used:

Simplify each term using partial fraction decomposition.

Calculation:

Each term can be written as:

$\frac{2}{n(n+2)} = \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n+2}$

Applying this to the given series:

$\left( \frac{1}{1} - \frac{1}{3} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{5} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{7} \right) + \ldots + \left( \frac{1}{45} - \frac{1}{47} \right)$

All intermediate terms cancel out, and we are left with:

$1 - \frac{1}{47} = \frac{46}{47}$

∴ The value of the series is $\frac{46}{47}$.

Given:

Fractions: (27)/(50), (9)/(20), (6)/(25)

Formula Used:

HCF of fractions = HCF of numerators / LCM of denominators

Calculation:

Numerators: 27, 9, 6

Denominators: 50, 20, 25

Step 1: Find the HCF of the numerators

HCF(27, 9, 6)

Prime factorization:

27 = 3³

9 = 3²

6 = 2 × 3

Common factor: 3

HCF = 3

Step 2: Find the LCM of the denominators

LCM(50, 20, 25)

Prime factorization:

50 = 2 × 5²

20 = 2² × 5

25 = 5²

LCM = 2² × 5² = 4 × 25 = 100

Step 3: Calculate the HCF of the fractions

HCF = HCF of numerators / LCM of denominators

⇒ HCF = 3 / 100

The HCF of (27)/(50), (9)/(20), (6)/(25) is (3)/(100).

Given:

Amount at the end of 3 years = Rs. 13310

Amount at the end of 4 years = Rs. 14641

Formula Used:

Compound Interest Formula: A = P (1 + $\frac{r}{100}$ )ⁿ

Calculation:

Let the principal be P and the rate of interest be r.

From the given data:

For 3 years: 13310 = P (1 + $\frac{r}{100}$ )³          ............1

For 4 years: 14641 = P (1 + $\frac{r}{100}$ )⁴          ............2

Divide the second equation by the first equation:

$\frac{14641}{13310} = \frac{P (1 + \frac{r}{100})^4}{P (1 + \frac{r}{100})^3}$

⇒ $\frac{14641}{13310} = 1 + \frac{r}{100}$

⇒ $1 + \frac{r}{100} = \frac{14641}{13310}$

⇒ 1 + $\frac{r}{100}$ = 1.1

⇒ $\frac{r}{100}$ = 0.1

⇒ r = 10%

Now, using the value of r in the first equation:

13310 = P (1 + $\frac{10}{100}$ )³

⇒ 13310 = P (1.1)³

⇒ 13310 = P × 1.331

⇒ P = $\frac{13310}{1.331}$

⇒ P = 10000

The principal is Rs. 10000.

Given:

The average marks of 18 students = 190

The wrongly entered score = 46

Given:

Payal completes 10% of the work in 8 days.

Pinky is 50% more efficient than Payal.

Formula Used:

Work Done = Efficiency × Time

Calculation:

Let the total work be 100 units.

Work completed by Payal in 8 days = 10 units.

⇒ Payal's 1-day work = 10 units / 8 days = 1.25 units/day.

⇒ Pinky's efficiency = 1.25 units/day + 0.5 × 1.25 units/day = 1.25 units/day + 0.625 units/day = 1.875 units/day.

Remaining work = 100 units - 10 units = 90 units.

Combined efficiency of Payal and Pinky = 1.25 units/day + 1.875 units/day = 3.125 units/day.

Time taken to complete the remaining work = Remaining work / Combined efficiency

⇒ Time taken = 90 units / 3.125 units/day

⇒ Time taken = 28.8 days.

They will take 28.8 more days to complete the remaining work.

Given:

Number to divide 60 leaving remainder 2
