Q:

Sairam spent Rs. 38460 on the renovation of his home and Rs. 24468 on buying TV set and remained with 28% of the total amount. What was the total amount?

A) Rs. 87400 B) Rs. 68700
C) Rs. 74000 D) Rs. 94060
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 87400

Explanation:

Let the total amount he had with = Rs. p

From the given data,

p - 38460 - 24468 = 28p/100

p - 28p/100 = 24468 + 38460

72p/100 = 62928

72p = 62928 x 100

p = 62928 x 100/72

p = 87400

 

Hence, the total amount he had = p = Rs. 87400.

Q:

In an objective competitive exam, a correct answer score 4 marks and on a wrong answer 2 marks are negatively added. A student scores 420 marks from 150 question. How many answers were correct ?

A) 145 B) 138
C) 125 D) 120
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 120

Explanation:

let x be the correct answer and y be the wrong answer
so the total number of questions is (x + y) = 150.....(1)
=> 4x - 2y = 420.....(2)
By solving (1) & (2), we get
=> 6x = 720
hence x = 120
Therefore, number of correct answers are 120.
