                                           = Rs.125x/100

  Income in 2016            = [(x-10000)130/100 ]

                  125x/100  =  (x-10000)130/100

                                 X = 260,000.

(a) 3/2
(b) 4/3
(c) 3/4
(d) 2/3
(e) none

               Then, new fraction    = 135% of x/180% of y

                                                    = 3x/4y

 New fraction/original fraction= 3x/4y × y/x

                                                      = 3/4 .

So                                  100%= 300   

           Maximum marks  = 300

          Passing marks  =  25% of 300 + 10

                                     = 85 marks.

                                  100%= 700

   Maximum marks   = 700.

(b) 41000
(c) 42000
(d) 43000
(e) 44000

Answer

Option: C
Explanation:

Let the total sales be Rs. X.

            Then 4% of x + 1% of (x-10000) = 2000

                      4x/100 + (x-10000)/100  = 2000

                                          5x  =  200000 + 10000

                                            X = 42000.

(a) 30%
(b) 35%
(c) 40%
(d) 45%
(e) None

Answer

Option: D
Explanation:

Let the total number of houses be x.

 Then, Number of houses having one female only= (100-25)% of (100-40)% of x

                                                         = (75/100 × 60/100 × x )            

                                                        = 9x/20

                 Required percentage = (9x/20 × 1/x × 100)%

                                                       = 45%.

(c) 24%
(d) 25%
(e) 26%

Answer

Option: D
Explanation:

16 crores × ( 1+R/100)2 = 25 crores

                                           (1+R/100)2 = 25/16

                                     1 + R/100 = 5/4

                                                   R = 25%.

(a) 2100
(b) 2200
(c) 2300
(d) 2400
(e) 2500

Answer

Option: B
Explanation:

Ratio of Female and Male = 6:11

          Female in Gurugram   = 480  (which is 40% of total female)

                                       40%  = 480

 Then  total Female in company = 1200

                               6’s Ratio  = 1200

Then                           1’s = 200

 So total number of male employees is,

                   11’s =  11 × 200

                           = 2200.
