4. (i) If the sides of the traingle,rectangle,square,circle,rhombus etc is increased by x%.Its increased by 2x+(x2/100) (ii)If decreased x%.Its ares is decreased by, -2x+(x2/100)

5. In an examination x% failed in Hindi and y% failed in Science, if z% of the candidates both of the subjects. The percentage of students who passed in both of the subjects is, 100-(x+y-z)

failed in

6. If A's income is r% more than B's income, the B's income is less than A's income by (r/100+r) * 100%

7.If A's income is r% less than B's income, then B's income is more than A's income by (r/100-r) * 100

8. (i)If the price of comodity increases by r% then reduction in consumption so as not to the expenditure is (r/100+r) * 100 (ii)If the price of comodity decreases by r% then, (r/100-r)*100

increase

9.If the population of town (or) length of a tree is 'p' and its annual increase is r% then, (i)populaton (or) length of a tree after 'n' years is, p[1+(r/100)]

(ii)population (or) length of a tree 'n' years ago is, p/[1+(r/100)n]

10.If the population of town (or) value of a machine is 'p' and annual decrease is r% then, (i)populaton (or) value of machine after 'n' years is, p[1-(r/100)n] (ii)population (or) value of a machine 'n' years ago is, p/[1-(r/100)n]

11.If 'A' is x% of 'C' and 'B' is y% of 'C' then 'A' is (x/y) * 100% of 'B'. 12. If two values are respectively x% and y% more than a third value, then the first is

[(100+x) / (100+y)] * 100% of second 13.Total no.of votes =

(Difference in votes/Difference in %) * 100

14.Maximum marks =

[(pass marks/pass %) * 100]

15.Total marks =

(Difference in marks / Difference in %)*100

16. (i)Reduced rate =

[(Amount/Quantity more) * (Reduction % /100)] (ii)Original rate (or) previous rate =

[(Amount/Quantity more) * (Reduction % /100-reduction%)]

17. (i)Increased rate =

[(Amount/Quantity less) * (increase % /100)] (ii)Original rate (or) previous rate = [(Amount/Quantity less) * (Increase % /100-increase%)]

18. If the numeratorof fraction is increased by x% and its denominator is diminished by value of the fraction is A/B.Then the original fraction is,

y% ,the

(A/B) * [(100-y) / (100+x)]
