Q:

Lucky started working 2 years ago. Her starting salary was half of Karthik's salary at that time. Each year since then Lucky and Karthik have received a rise of 10% in their respective salary. What percentage (to the nearest percent) of Karthik's current salary is Lucky's current salary ?

A) 75% B) 22.5%
C) 35% D) 50%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50%

Explanation:

Let the salary of Karthik 2 years ago be Rs.100
So, Lucky's salary 2 years ago was Rs.50

 

Karthik's present salary has seen two 10 percent increases. So as Lucky's salary.

So, Karthik's salary 1 year ago = 100 + 10% of 100 = 100 + 10 = 110.
Karthik's present salary = 110 + 10% of 110 = 110 + 11 = 121.

 

Lucky's salary 1 year ago = 50 + 10% of 50 = 50 + 5 = 55
Lucky's present salary = 55 + 10% of 55 = 55 + 5.5 = 60.5

 

Lucky's present salary of 60.5 = 50% of Karthik's present salary of 121.

Q:

One-third of the boys and one-half of the girls of a college participated in a sport. If the number of participating students is 300, out of which 100 are boys. What is the total number of students in the college?

A) 500 B) 300
C) 600 D) 700
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 700

Explanation:

Let number of boys in the school = x

Let number of girls in the school = y

Number of students participated in the sports = 300

Out of which boys = 100

but given number of boys participated in sports = x/3

=> x/3 = 100

=> x = 300

Remaining girls = 300 - 100 = 200

=> y/2 = 200

=> y = 400

Therefore, total number of students in the school = x + y = 300 + 400 = 700
