Q:

P, Q and R secured 45%, 50% and 60% marks respectively in Biology. M’s marks in Biology is 12.5 more than P’s marks and 4 less than R’s marks. Find out the individual marks of four students.

A. For the students, total marks obtained for Biology is 311.5.
B. Total of M’s and P’s marks in Biology is 147.5.
C. R has obtained 84 marks.

 A) Only C B) Only A & B C) All are required D) None of the statements is required

Explanation:

From the given data,
(60 - 45)% = 12.5 + 4
15% = 16.5
=> 100% = ?
100% = 16.5 x 100/15 = 110

Hence, P = 45% of 110 = 45x110/100 = 49.5
Q = 50% of 110 = 55
R = 60% of 110 = 60 x 110/100 = 66
M = 12.5 + 49.5 = 62 or 66 - 4 = 62

Hence, no statement is required to answer.

Q:

If the price of a commodity is decreased by 20% and its consumption is increased by 10%, what will be the increase or decrease in the expenditure on the commodity?

 A) increase 12% B) decrease 12% C) increase 16% D) decrease 16%

Explanation:

Given the price of a commodity is decreased by  p = 20%

And its consumption is increased by q = 10%

Now, required increase or decrease in the expenditure on the commodity can be

p + q + pq/100 = -20 + 10 - 200/100 = -10 - 2 = -12%.

Hence, decrease in the expenditure = 12%

Q:

Ajay who is a King, at his eleventh hour, called his three queens and distributed his gold in the following way: He gave 50% of his wealth to his first wife, 50% of the rest to his second wife and again 50% of the rest to his third wife. If their combined share is worth1,30,900 kilograms of gold, find the quantity of gold King Ajay was having initially?

 A) 153145 kgs B) 147890 kgs C) 152400 kgs D) 149600 kgs

Explanation:

Let the total quantity of gold be p kgs.

According to the question,

50% of p + 25% of p + 12.5% of p = 130900

87.5% of p = 130900

p = 130900 x 100/87.5  = 149600 kgs.

Therefore, the initial gold quantity that king has = p = 149600 kgs.
