QA - 01 : Percentage - 1

1. 6320908 ab 33. 2 The square of the number has

28. a% of b = five digits so it must be greater
100
2. 4221 than 100 and less than 317 as
ba its square ends with 6 digits.
b% of a =
3. 5504 100 From 1 to 25, there is only one
number i.e. 13 whose square
 a% of b = b% of a
4. 8178 ends with 69.
Hence, the quantities in the two
So the number must be in the
5. 11648 given statement will be equal. form of 50k ± 13.
The possible numbers are 113,
6. 9504 64 137, 163, 187, 213, 237, 263,
29. 64% of 62.5 = 62.5 × = 40.
100 287, 313.
7. 15370 Hence, there are 9 numbers.
30. 1 X = 37.5% of 20% of 48
8. 3948 34. If the ten’s digit of a square is
3 1 odd, its unit digit must be 6. This
9. 3128    48 = 3.6
8 5 is because in numbers below 25,
Y = 14.28% of 27.27% of 77 the only squares whose ten’s
10. 124124
digit is odd, are 4, 6, 14, 16 & 24
1 3 only. So the number must be
11. 4225 =   77 = 3
7 11 ending with 4 or 6.
 X > Y..  In every 10 numbers, these
12. 8836
will be 2 such numbers.
13. 13689 31. 5 Let the four-digit number be

denoted by aabb i.e. 1000 × = 200 numbers.
14. 35344 = 11 × (100a + b). 10
Now since aabb is a perfect
15. 26896 square, 100a + b should be a 35. 3 I A B C D E

16. 4489
The only pairs of values of a A B C D E I

Here E must be 7 as 7 × 3 gives

Also, Y cannot be 0 as in that
21. 2 Now, 3 × D must end with 5 as a
case last 2 digits will be 00.
XY < 32 because (XY) 2 is a carry over of 2 added with 5
22. 1 will give 7. So D must be 5.
3-digit no. So XY can only be 11,
SimiIarly 3 × C must end with 4
