Rural population of A= 1314000 * 30/100 = 394200
Required %= ( 481800 – 394200) / 394200 * 100= 22.2%

 

6-10:

The premises of a building are to be renovated. The renovation is in terms of flooring. Certain areas are to be floored either with marble or gloss tiles. All rooms and bathroom are rectangular. The area to be renovated comprises of a dining hall measuring 23 m by 29 m, bed room measuring 14 m by 16 m, a bathroom measuring 15 m by 12 m, a record keeping cum garbage room measuring 22m by 16 m and verandah area measuring 27 m by 23 m. The total area of the building is 4000 square meters. The cost of gloss tiles flooring is Rs 150/- per square meter and the cost of marble flooring is Rs 200/- per square meter. The verandah area, record keeping cum garbage room and bathroom are to be floored with marble. The bed room and the dining hall are to be floored with gloss tiles.

B) 2673 : 4612
C) 1987 : 2260
D) 1887 : 2521
E) 1535 : 2677

Answer & Solutions

Option: B

Explanation: Area of dining room = 23*29 = 667 m2
Area of bed room = 224 m2,
Area of bathroom= 224 m2
Area of garbage room = 352 m2
Area of verandah = 621 m2
Total area to be floored with marble = verandah + garbage room+ bathroom = 621 + 352 + 180 = 1153
So cost = 200*1153= 230600 rupee
Total area to be floored with marble = 224 + 667 = 891 sq m
So cost = 150*891 = 133650
So required ratio =133650: 230600= 2673 : 4612

 

7. If the four walls and ceiling of bed room (the height of the room is 12 m) are to be painted at the cost of Rs. 160 per sq m how much will be the total cost of renovation of the bed room, including the cost of flooring?
A) Rs 112870
B) Rs 115580
C) Rs 184640
D) Rs 116360
E) Rs 114320

Answer & Solutions

Option: C

Explanation: Bed room flooring cost = 150 * 224 = Rs 33600
So cost of painting = [ 2 (12*14 + 12*16) + 14*16] * 160
= Rs 151040
So required total = 33600 + 151040 = 184640

 

8. If the remaining area of bank is to be carpeted at the rate of Rs. 100 per m2, how much will be the increment in the total cost of renovation of bank premises?
A) Rs 195600
B) Rs15460
C) Rs 16670
D) Rs 17280
E) Rs 18340

Answer & Solutions

Option: A

Explanation: Total area including all rooms = 4000 m2
Total area to be floored = 621 + 352 + 180 + 224 + 667 = 2044 sq m
So remaining area = 4000 –2044= 1956
So increased cost = 1956*100 = Rs 195600

 

9. What is the percentage of the bank that is not to be renovated?
A) 48.9%
B) 2.8%
C) 33.2%
