Ques:- If the side of a square is increased by 25% what will be the percentage increase in the area?
Recent Answer : Added by Muhammad Azeem Sheikh On 2022-09-02 17:03:42:

56.25 % is the right answer.
area of square = side ^ 2
at first, it was 100% , means 1
then, a side was enlarged to 25%, means now, 125% means new side is 1.25
taking square will give 1.5625
1.5625 – 1 = 0.5625
so, 56.25% increment in area.

Ques:- The price of sugar increases by 20%, by what % should a housewife reduce the consumption of sugar so that expenditure on sugar can be same as before ?(a) 15%(b) 16.66%(c) 12%(d) 9%
Recent Answer : Added by Rk On 2021-08-25 14:15:42:

(b) 16.66%

Earlier for ₹x we could purchase y gm of sugar.
Now we pay ₹1.2x for y gm of sugar

(As there was an increase in price so, x + 20%x = 1.2x)

At current rates for ₹x you can purchase y/1.2 gm of sugar

So the reduced consumption is y-(y/1.2)

Percentage change = (reduced consumption/ original consumption ) *100

That is (0.2/1.2) *100 = 16.66% (approx)

Ques:- In 3.5 Kg rod , there is 74% silver. If it is alloyed with a 0.5 Kg rod, the % of silver goes p to 84%. The percent of silver in 0.5 Kg rod?
Recent Answer : Added by Munesh On 2022-08-14 16:29:31:

In 3500 g rod contains 74% of silver = 3500 * 74/100 = 2590 g
Then 3500 g + 500 g of rod contains 84% of silver
Let x be the silver contained in 500 g of silver
(2590/3500 * 100) + (x/500 * 100) = 84
74 + x/5 = 84
(370 + x) /5 = 84
370 + x = 420
x = 50
Then the percentage of silver contained in 500 g of rod = 50/500 *100 =10%

Ques:- In a journey of 15 miles two third distance was travelled with 40 mph and remaining with 60 mph.How muvh time the journey takes
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-15 09:33:29:

2/3 * 15 miles = 10 miles then

time for 10 miles travel is t1 = 10/40 = 1/4

then remaning distance is 5 miles

time for 5 miles travel is t2 = 5/60 = 1/12

t1+ t2= 1/3 in seconds * 60 = 20 min

Ques:- In a class 80% have passed english,70% passed Hindi 10% didnot passed either. If 144 students passed both. What is the total strength of the class.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:21:

let t = total no of students.. then
students who passed one or both subjects,
n(e U h) = n(e) + n(h) – n(e intersection h)
=> t = 0.8t + 0.7t – 144
=> t = 1.5t – 144
students who failed both subjects is 10% i.e. 0.1t
=>t-n(e U h) = 0.1t,
=>t -(1.5t – 144) = 0.1t
=>t- 1.5t- 0.1t = -144
=> -0.6t = -144
=>t = 240
