In an exam it is required to get 44% of the aggregate marks to pass. A student gets 266 marks and is declared failed by 6% marks. What is the maximum marks ?
|
|
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option
B
|
|
Explanation : |
|
Let the maximum marks be x
Now, according to the question,
44% of x = 266 + 6% of x
44% of x - 6% of x = 266
38% of x = 266
or 38x/100 = 266
Therefore, x = 26600/38 = 700

A, B and C divide an amount of Rs 7200 amongst themselves in the ratio of 8 :9 : 7 . If an amount of Rs 3 00 is added to each of their shares, what will be the new ratio of their shares of amount ?
|
|
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option
B
|
|
Explanation : |
|
Let the amounts of A,B and C be 8x, 9x and 7x respectively.
Therefore, 8x + 9x + 7x = 7200
or 24x = 7200
Threfore, x = 7200/24 = 300
Threfore, Amount of A = 2400
Amount of B = 2700
Amount of C = 2100
Now, adding 300 to each amount,
New ratio = 2700 : 3000 : 2400 = 9 : 10 : 8

The average of six consecutive even numbers P, Q, R, S, T and U is 63. What will be the product of Q and S ?
|
|
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option
D
|
|
Explanation : |
|
Let the numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 8 and x + 10
Therefore, x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x + 10/6 = 63
Therefore, 6x + 30 = 63 x 6 = 378
Therefore, x = 378-30/6 = 58
Therefore, Q = x + 2 = 60 and S = x + 6 = 64
Therefore, Q x S = 60 x 64 = 3840
