Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

Let the percentage be $x$.

$\dfrac {100\%}{x\%}=\dfrac {30}{150}$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac {100}{x}\times x=\dfrac {30}{150}\times x$ .... Multiply both sides by $x$
$\Rightarrow 100=0.2x$
$\Rightarrow x=500$
Thus, $150$ is $500\%$ of $30$.

If A exceeds B by $40$ %, B is less than C by $20$% , then A : C is :

  1. $28:25$
  2. $26:25$
  3. $283:251$
  4. $287:254$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$\Rightarrow$  Let $C = 100.$

$\Rightarrow$   So B = 20% less than C or 80% of C = $\dfrac{80}{100}\times 100=80$
$\Rightarrow$  So, A = B + 40% of B
$\Rightarrow$   $A=80+80\times \dfrac{40}{100}=112$

$\therefore$   $A:C=\dfrac{A}{C}=\dfrac{112}{100}=\dfrac{28}{25}$

Amar wrote exams in four subjects-Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Social Studies. The ratio of marks he got in these exams was $2:3:4:5$. He got an aggregate of 70% in these exams. Each exam had the same maximum marks. In how many of these exams did he get more than 50%?

  1. $1$
  2. $2$
  3. $3$
  4. $4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the maximum marks of each subject $= y$

Let the marks scored in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and social studies be $2x, \,3x, \,4x$ and $5x$.
Now, total marks scored in all 4 subjects $2x+3x+4x+5x = 14x$
Total maximum marks of all 4 subjects $=4y$
Now according to question:
$\left(\dfrac{14x}{4y}\times 100\right)\% = 70\%$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{14x}{4y}\times 100 = 70$
$\Rightarrow y = 5x$
$\%$ age of marks scored in Physics $=\left(\dfrac{2x}{5x} \times 100\right)\% = 40\%$ 
$\%$ age of marks scored in Chemistry $=\left(\dfrac{3x}{5x} \times 100\right)\% = 60\%$ 
$\%$ age of marks scored in Biology $=\left(\dfrac{4x}{5x} \times 100\right)\% = 80\%$
$\%$ age of marks scored in Social Studies $=\left(\dfrac{5x}{5x} \times 100\right)\% = 100\%$  
So, he got more than $50\%$ in Chemistry, Biology and Social Studies.
Hence, the answer is $3$.
