Q:

If the radius of a circle is decreased by 50%, find the percentage decrease in its area.

A) 55%	B) 65%
C) 75%	D) 85%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 75%

Explanation:

Let original radius = R.

New radius = $\frac{50}{100} R$ = $\frac{50}{100} R$

Original area = $\frac{R}{2}$ and new area = ${πR}^{2}$

$\frac{3 {πR}^{2}}{4} * \frac{1}{{πR}^{2}} * 100$

Decrease in area = $π {(\frac{R}{2})}^{2} = \frac{{πR}^{2}}{4}$ = 75%

Q:

The salaries of A, B, and C are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. The salary of B and C together is Rs. 6000. By what percent is the salary of C more than that of A?

A) 100 %	B) 200%
C) 300%	D) 600%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 200%

Explanation:

Let the salaries of A, B, C be x, 2x and 3x respectively.

Then,2x + 3x = 6000 => x = 1200.

A's salary = Rs. 1200, B's salary = Rs. 2400, and Cs salary Rs. 3600.
Excess of C's salary over A's=[ (2400 /1200) x 100] = 200%.
