Q:

Three strategies P, Q and R have been initiated for cost cutting in a company producing respectively 20%, 30% and 10% savings. Assuming that they operate independently, what is the net saving achieved ?

A) 49.6% B) 50.4%
C) 33.67% D) 66.66%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 49.6%

Explanation:

As these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.
If initial cost is Rs 100, then
20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80
further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56
further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4

Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.

Q:

If P is 140, which is 40% more than Q, then 3/25 of Q is

A) 9 B) 12
C) 18 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 12

Explanation:

From the given data,

P = 140

But it is given that,

40% of Q + Q = 140 = P

=> Q + [40Q/100] = 140

=> [100Q + 40Q]/100 = 140

=> 140Q = 140 x 100

=> Q = 100

Now,

 3/25 of Q 

= (3/25) x 100

= 3 x 4 

= 12 

 

Required 3/25 of Q  = 12.
