Answer

Actual average salary of 12 officers = 400


\inline \fn_jvn \therefore Total salary of 12 officers = 400 x 12 = 4800


Average of these 12  officers as a whole =60


Total salary of 12 officers as a whole = 60 x 12 = 720


The total salary of rest  = 4800 - 720 = 4080


Difference in average of the rest of officers  = 60 - 56 = 4

Q:

John sells his laptop to Mark at a loss of 20% who subsequently sells it to Kevin at a profit of 25%. Kevin after finding some defect in the laptop, returns it to Mark but could recover only Rs.4.50 for every Rs. 5 he had paid. Find the amount of Kevin’s loss if John had paid Rs. 1,75,000 for the laptop ?

A) Rs.16,500 B) Rs.17,500
C) Rs.14,200 D) Rs.15,520
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.17,500

Explanation:

Let’s assume John bought the laptop for Rs. 100
He then sells it to Mark at a loss of 20% => Rs. 80,
Who consequently sells it to Kevin at a profit of 25% =>  Rs. 100
Then, Kevin sells it back to Mark for Rs. 90 (Rs.4.50 for every Rs. 5 that he had paid initially), so he suffers a loss of Rs. 10
Therefore, for Rs. 100 there is a loss of Rs. 10,
Then for Rs. 1,75,000 there will be a loss of Rs. 17,500.

Q:

Solve 30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30)

A) 24.750 B) 36.975
C) 34.652 D) 26.354
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36.975

Explanation:

30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30)

 

Now

=> 0.0825 x 30 = 2.475 -----(1)

=> 15% of 30 = 450/100 = 4.5 -----(2) 

 

Hence, from (1) & (2)

30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30)

= 30 + 2.475 + 4.5

30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30) = 36.975.
