Answer & Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Let Q = 10.
Then, P = 60.
Q is 50 less than P.
50
Q, % less than P = × 100 = 83.33%
60

Alternative Method
10 (Q) == (6 times greater) ==> 60(P) == x%↓(Less than Q) ==> 10 (Q)
Now,
50 × 100
x = = 83.33%
60

Let number of men in the population be x

Number of women = (35000 − x)

Increase in the number of men

6x
= 6% of x =
100

Increase in the number of women

4
= (3500 − x) ×
100

Increase in whole population

= 36760 − 35000 = 1760

Now,

6x 4
+ [(35000 − x) × ] = 1760
100 100

4
[(6x − 4x) + 35000 × ] = 1760
100

2x + 35000 × 4 = 1760 × 100

2x = 176000 − 35000 × 4

x = 18000

Number of men = 18000

Number of women

= 35000 − 18000

= 17000

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Let each side of the cuboid be 10 unit initially.
Initial Volume of the cuboid,
= length * breadth * height = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000 cubic unit.
After increment dimensions become,
Length = (10 + 10% of 10) = 11 unit.
Breadth = (10 + 20% of 10) = 12 unit.
Height = (10 + 50% of 10) = 15 unit.
Now, present volume = 11 × 12 × 15 = 1980 cubic unit.
Increase in volume = 1980 - 1000 = 980 cubic unit.
980
% increase in volume = × 100 = 98%
1000

Mind Calculation Method:

100 == 50%↑(height effects) ==> 150 == 20%↑(breadth) ==> 180 == 10%↑(length effects) ==> 198
Change in volume = 98%
[We can take net percentage change in any order]
