1. The salaries of A and B together is Rs. 14,000.

A spend 80% of his salary and B spends 85% of

his salary. What is the salary of B if their savings are equal?

a. Rs. 6,000

b. Rs. 8,000

c. Rs. 7,500

d. Rs. 6,500

Let the salaries of A and B are X and Y respectively

X + Y = 14,000

Savings of A = 20X/100 = Savings of B = 15Y/100

X = ¾ Y

3/4Y + Y = 14,000, 7Y/4 =14,000, Y =8,000

2 Three times a number is 20% more than twice another number when increased by 105. If
twice the first number increased by 36 is 20% less than three times of the second number, then
what is the first number?

a. 150

b.162

c. 180

d.None of these
Let the two numbers be x and y.

3x = 1.2( 2y +105)

3x = 2.4y +126 ………………..(1)

2x +36 = 0.8(3y)

2x +36 =2.4y ………………..(2)

x = 162

3. The marked price of a shirt was 40% less than the suggested retail price. Ram purchased the coat for
half of the marked price at the 15th-anniversary sale. What per cent less than the suggested retail price
did Ram pay?

a) 70%

b) 20%

c) 60%

d) 30%

Answer: a) 70%

Solution:

Let the retail price of the shirt be Rs. 100

So according to the question, the market price will be = 100*0.6 = 60

Purchased price of Ram = 60/2 = 30

which is 70% less than retail price.

18. Jose is making a necklace with beads in a repeating pattern of blue, red, green, orange, purple. If
the 1st bead is blue, what color will the 234th bead be?

(A) blue

(B) red

(C) green

(D) orange

(E) purple

(D). Since the pattern has 5 elements, find the remainder when 234 is divided by 5, which is just
the units digit in

this case. Alternatively, 5 goes evenly into 230, and since 234 - 230 = 4, the remainder is 4. The
4th color in the

pattern, orange, is the answer.
