Page Title 1. If A = X% of Y and B = Y% of X, then which of the following is true?
A is smaller than B.
A is greater than B
Relationship between A and B cannot be determined.
If X is smaller than Y, then A is greater than B.
None of these
Answer: option E

X% of Y = (X/100 x Y)

= (Y/100 x X) = Y% of X

∵ A = B



2. A fruit seller had some apples. He sells 40% of the apples and still has 420 apples. Originally, he had:
720 apples
700 apples
740 apples
500 apples
Answer: option B

Suppose originally he had X apples.

Then, (100 - 40)% of X = 420.

⟹ 60/100 x X = 420

⟹ X = (420 x 100/60 = 700



3. Two students appeared in an examination. One of them got 9 marks more than the other and his marks were 56% of the sum of their marks. The marks obtained by him are:
22, 44
40, 32
42, 33
32, 44
Answer: option C

Let their marks be (X + 9) and X

Then, X + 9 = 56/100 (X + 9 + X)

⟹ 25(X + 9) = 14(2X + 9)

⟹ 3X = 99

⟹ X = 33

So, their marks are 42 and 33.



4. What percentage of numbers from 1 to 70 have 1 or 9 in the unit's digit?
15
28
42
20
Answer: option D

Clearly, the numbers which have 1 or 9 in the unit's digit, have squares that end in the digit 1. Such numbers from 1 to 70 are 1, 9, 11, 19, 21, 29, 31, 39, 41, 49, 51, 59, 61, 69.

Number of such number = 14

∵ Required percentage = (14/70 x 100)% = 20%



5. In a school, 20% of the students are below 8 years of age. The number of students above 8 years of age is 2/3 of the number of students of 8 years of age which is 48. What is the total number of students in the school?
160
100
150
125
Answer: option B

Let the number of students be X Then,

Number of students above 8 years of age = (100 - 20)% of X = 80% of X.

∵ 80% of X = 48 + 2/3 of 48

⟹ (80/100)X = 80

⟹ X = 100
