Q:

In a class of 80 students and 5 teachers, each student got shopping coupons that are 15% of the total number of students and each teacher got shopping coupons, that are 25% of the total number of students. How many shopping coupons were there?

A) 960 B) 1000
C) 1060 D) 100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1060

Explanation:

Given total number of students = 80

Total teachers = 5

Number of coupons each student got = 15 x 80/100 = 12

Number of coupons each teacher got = 25 x 80/100 = 20

 

Therefore, total number of shopping coupons = 80 x 12 + 5 x 20 = 960 + 100 = 1060.

Q:

In a race of 200 m, A can beat B by 31 m and C by 18 m. In a race of 350 m, C will beat B by ?

A) 25 m B) 21 m
C) 22 m D) 19 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25 m

Explanation:

A:B = 200 : 169
A:C = 200 : 182
 CB = CA×AB 

 

182200×200169

 

=> 182:169

 

When C covers 182 m , B Covers 169 m
When C covers 350 m , B Covers 169182×350
=> 325 m

 

 

 

So C beats B by (350 - 325) = 25 m.
