So option (b) is correct.

175 7
2. 175% = 100 = 4

So option (a) is correct.

3. 1 Hour 45 minutes = 105 minutes

Minutes in a day = 24*60 minutes

105
∴Percentage = 24∗60 *100 =7.292%

So option (b) is correct.

4. X% of 25/2 = 150

𝑥 25
i.e. 100 * = 150

∴P=2*Q

On comparing with P = x% of Q, we get,

∴ 100 = 0.5

∴ X = 0.5 * 100

∴ X = 50

So option (c) is correct.

So option (d) is correct.

8. Let the maximum marks be x

Total passing percentage = 35% of x

Student got 165 marks and failed by 45 marks.

Therefore, Total Marks to pass exam = 165 + 45 = 210

According to the question,

wFor Classes I Mock Test I Books Call on:- 8828581455/54 www.manoeuvreedu.com

 => 35% of x = 210
=> 0.35 × x = 210
=> 0.35x = 210
210
=> x = 0.35 = 600

Hence,
Maximum marks = 600

So option (d) is correct.

9. Let x = maximum marks

30% x + 18 = 35% x - 12

30% x - 35%x = -12-18

-5% x = - 30

5% x = 30

30∗100
x= 5

x = 600

Therefore, the maximum marks are 600.

The passing marks are expressed as shown below,

30
Passing marks = 100 * 600 + 18

Passing marks = 198

Therefore, the passing percentage is calculated as shown below,

198
Passing % = 600 * 100

Passing Percentage = 33%

wFor Classes I Mock Test I Books Call on:- 8828581455/54 www.manoeuvreedu.com

 So option (a) is correct.

10. Let total number of students who applied for a group in college be 100x.

40% student were allotted group A, i.e. 40x

Remaining student 100x - 40x = 60x

Now 75% of remaining student were allotted Group B

i.e. 75% of 60x = 45x

Remaining students = 60x - 45x = 15x (who were allotted Group C)

According to question
15x = 12
12
x = 15

Total Number of Student applied in college = 100x

12
= 100 x 15
= 80

So option (c) is correct.

11. Let the third number be 100

Then, first number is 100 – 30 = 70 and second number is 100 – 37 = 63.

(𝟕𝟎−𝟔𝟑) 𝟕
% by which second number is less than the first = = 70 * 100 = 10%
70

So option (a) is correct.

12. Let the number of boys be 12x and girls be 13x.

12𝑥 𝟏𝟐𝒙
Therefore, % of boys = 12𝑥+13𝑥 = 25𝑥 * 100 = 48%

wFor Classes I Mock Test I Books Call on:- 8828581455/54 www.manoeuvreedu.com

 So option (b) is correct.

13. Number of boys = 720

Number of girls = ?

% of girls = 40%
% of boys = 100% - 40%

Let the total number of students be x
60% of x = 720
𝟔𝟎𝐱
∴ = 720
100
𝟕𝟐𝟎∗𝟏𝟎𝟎
∴ x= 60
∴ x = 1200

Number of girls = 1200 - 720

After spending 20% on house rent,

Income left with Mr.Kapur = 100 – 20
= Rs.80
After spending 10% of the remaining i.e. Rs.80,
90
Income left with Mr.Kapur = 80 * 100 = Rs.72
So he saves Rs.72, if his Total income is Rs.100.

Let he saves Rs.1800, if his Total income is Rs.x.

1800∗100
∴x= = Rs.2500
72

So option (d) is correct.

16. The ratio of the number of boys to that of girls in a School is 4:1.
So number of boys & girls in a school are 4x & x.

According to the question,

So the required number is 1300.

20
Now, 20% of 1300 = 100 * 1300 = 260.

Short Approach:
From equation (1), we get,

40% of the number = 520

520
∴ 20% of the number = = 260

∴ Brijeshs’ income = * 100 * 8000 = Rs.16000
20

15 45
∴ 100 * Anand’s income = 100 * 16000

100 45
∴ Anand’s income = * 100 * 16000 = Rs.48000
15

∴ Total income = 8000 + 16000 + 48000 = Rs.72000

So option (c) is correct.

20. The price of rice is increased by 60%.

Let the original price be Rs.100
∴ Price after increment = Rs.160

In order to restore the original price, it should be decreased by Rs.60.

60 1
% decrease = * 100 = 37

 24. Let population of a village two years ago be 100.
Since it is increasing at the rate of 4% every year,
4∗4
Increase after two years = ( 4 + 4 + 100 )%

= ( 8 + 0.16)%

= 8.16%

Now,
If the population 100 becomes 100 + 8.16 = 108.16 after two years,
Assume population x becomes 67600 after two years.

67600∗100
∴x= 108.16
∴ x = 62500

So option (a) is correct.

25. Let the number be x.

75𝑥
When reduced by 25% it becomes
100
75𝑥
∴ 100 = 225

225∗100
∴ x= = 300
75
∴ the number is 300.

To make it 375, we’ll have to increase it by 75.

75
∴ % increase = 300 * 100 = 25%

So option (a) is correct.

26. If the winning candidate secured 57% of the total votes,

Then the other candidate must have got 100 – 57 = 43% of the total votes

Now difference between votes they secured is 57 – 43 = 14% votes

∴ 14% votes are equivalent to 42000 votes.

Let 100% votes will be equivalent to x votes.

wFor Classes I Mock Test I Books Call on:- 8828581455/54 www.manoeuvreedu.com

So option (c) is correct.

27. Let the total number of voters be 100x.

10% did not cast their vote.
i.e. only 90x voters cast their votes.

47% of all the voters cast their votes i.e. 47x.

60 voters casted their ballot papers blank.
So 90x – 47x = 43x.
That means, 43x – 60 voters did not vote the winner.

Now, according to the sum,

47x – (43x – 60) = 308
∴ 4x + 60 = 308
∴ 4x = 308 – 60 = 248
∴ x = 62
∴ Total number of voters on the list = 100x = 100*62 = 6200
So option (b) is correct.

28. Let the population of the town be 100x.

20% of the population speaks English.
Remaining population = 100x – 20x = 80x

40
Now, 40% of 80x speaks Telugu, i.e. 100 * 80x = 32x
Remaining population = 80x – 32x = 48x

25
Now ,25% of 48x speaks Tamil, i.e. 100 * 48x = 12x
Remaining population = 48x – 12x = 36x

According to the question,

36x = 43200
∴ x = 1200

∴ Total population of the town = 100x = 100 * 1200 = 1,20,000

So option (a) is correct.

 29. In an examination there are 2000 candidates, out of which 900 are boys.
∴ Number of girls = 2000 – 900 = 1100
32% of the boys and 38% of the girls passed.
That means, 68% of the boys and 62% girls have failed.
68 62
Total failed candidates = 100 * 900 + 100 * 1100 = 612 + 682 = 1294

1294
% of failed candidates = 2000 * 100 = 64.7
So option (c) is correct.

30. The Indian cricket team played 25 one-day matches in a particular season of an year
40
and won 40% of their matches i.e. * 25 = 10 matches
100

Let, after appointing new coach, team played x matches and won all of them.
∴ According to the sum,
10+𝑥 75
=
25+𝑥 100

10+𝑥 3
∴ 25+𝑥 = 4

Solving for x, we get,

x = 35
So option (a) is correct.

31. Price * Consumption = Expenditure

100 * 100 = 10000

125 * x = 11500 -----(Price is increased by 25% & Expenditure by 15%)

11500
∴ x = = 92
125

Decrease in consumption = 100 - 92 = 8

8
∴ % decrease in consumption = 100 * 100 = 8

So option (b) is correct.

 32. Let amount of money available = Rs.x i.e. for purchasing 40 apples or 50 oranges.
𝑥
Price of one apple = Rs. 40

𝑥
Price of one Orange = Rs. 50

Amount of money spent = 80% of x

80𝑥
= 100

80𝑥
From Rs.100 , 20 oranges and some apples were bought.

Let the value of some apples = Rs.a

80𝑥
= 20 * Price of one orange + a * Price of one apple
100

80𝑥 𝑥 𝑥
= 20 * 50 + a * 40
100

4𝑥 2𝑥 𝑎𝑥
= + 40
5 5

Canceling x on both sides, we get,

4 2 𝑎
= +
5 5 40

4 2 𝑎
- 5 = 40
5

2 𝑎
∴ 5 = 40

40∗2
∴a= = 16
5

Number of apples bought are 16.

So option (c) is correct.

33. Let the vendor has 100x apples.

He sold 60% i.e. 60x apples.
So apples left = 100x – 60x = 40x

15
He threw 15% of 40x = 100 * 40x = 6x
Apples left = 40x – 6x = 34x

Next day, he sold 50% of 34x i.e. 17x & threw the remaining 17x apples.

 6𝑥+17𝑥
% of apples he has thrown = = 23
100𝑥

So option (b) is correct.
