Q1 Text Solution: Percentage to be increased to get the original

Given Data: value = (0.01x/0/0.99x)*100 = 100/99%
48, 84
Video Solution:
Concept:
Calculate the percentage using the formula
Part/Whole × 100%
Solution:
⇒ 48/84 × 100% = 400/7%
Therefore, 48 is 400/7% of 84.

Video Solution: Q4 Text Solution:

Given:
Original marks = 36
Increased marks = 6
Total marks = 120
Formula:
Percentage increase = (Increase/Total marks) ×
Q2 Text Solution: 100
Calculation:
5% = 1/20 ⇒ Percentage increase = (6/120) × 100
For the first year, 20 → 21 Percentage increase = 5%
For the Second Year, 20 → 21 Therefore, the increase in her percentage is 5%.

Video Solution:
400 → 441
441 → 4410
(Given)
⇒ 400 → 4000
∴= The population before 2 years =4000
Video Solution:

Q5 Text Solution:
let the total number of students be x.
Given that 20% of students are below 8 years of
age.
Then the number of students above or equal the
8 years of age = 80% of x → (1)
Q3 Text Solution: Given that number of students of 8 years of age
let the value be x = 48 → (2)
Increased by 10% it becomes 1.1x Given that number of students above 8 years of
Decreased by 10% it becomes 1.1x*0.9 age = 23 of number of students of 8 years of
= 0.99x age.

80 94 75
⇒ NUmber of students above of age x× 100
× 100
× 100
= 27648
8 = 23 × 48 = 32 → (3) x = 48000
From equation (1), equation (2) and equation (3) Video Solution:
80% of x = 48 + 32 = 80
80x
⇒ = 80
100
x = 100
Video Solution:

Q9 Text Solution:
Let the Aman's original annual income = k
According to the question
(k + 2000000) × 16/100 = k × 20/100
20k/100 – 16k/100 = 320000
Q6 Text Solution: k = 8000000
p% of p = 36 Total Income = 80 lakh + 20 lakh = 100 lakh
⇒ p/100 × p = 36
Video Solution:
⇒ p2 = 3600
⇒ p = 60

Video Solution:

Q10 Text Solution:

Let x be the number.
To increase it by 25%, we multiply it by 125 and
Q7 Text Solution: divide by 100
20 125 5
20% of a = b ⇒ a=b We get, 100 ×x= 4
100
b Video Solution:
∴ b% of 20 = ( × 20)
100
20 1 4
=( a× × 20) = a
100 100 100
= 4% of a.
Video Solution:

Q11 Text Solution:

Let the initial population = x
According to the question,
x × 104/100 × 104/100 = 67600
67600×100×100
x = 104×104
= 62500
Hence required population = 62500

Q14 Text Solution:

Q12 Text Solution: From the question,
Passed boys = 60% 33% of total marks = 148 + 50
Failed boys = (100 – 60)% = 40% ⇒ total marks = 198
33
× 100 = 600
Failed girls = (100 – 50)% = 50%
Video Solution:
Failed boys = 1000 × 40/100 = 400
Failed girls = 800 × 50/100 = 400
Failed candidates percentage = 800/1800 × 100
= 44.4%

Q15 Text Solution:

Let the total number of workers = 500 unit

Q13 Text Solution:

Given :
Current population of the city = 125000
Growth rate = 2% per year
Number of years = 3
Formula :
240+150
Population after n years = P(1 + r/100)n Desired %age = 500
× 100 = 78%
where : Video Solution:
P = Current population
r = Growth rate
n = Number of years
Solution :
Population after 3 years = 125000(1 + 2/100)3 =
125000(1.02)3 = 132651
Therefore, the population of the city after 3
Q16 Text Solution:
years will be 132651.
72% of Maximum marks = 360
Video Solution: 100

Q17 Text Solution:

Required answer Q20 Text Solution:
= 27/100 × 36/100 × 5/9 × 4500 Cost price of 1 orange = ₹ 3/7
= 243 ∴ Cost price of 100 oranges
3 300
Video Solution: = 7
× 100 = 7
300
∵ 100% = 7
300 133
∴ 133% = 7 × 100
= ₹ 57

Video Solution:

Q18 Text Solution:

Let A's income be x, B’s income be y and C’s
income be z
30% of y = 20% of x
y = 23 of x = 23 x
1
Similarly, z = 2 x
Given, x + y + z = 7800
2 1
x+ 3 x+ 2 x = 7800
13x = 7800 × 6
x = 3600
Then, B’s income = 23 × 3600 = 2400
Video Solution:

Q19 Text Solution:

Let the required percentage be x%
According to question,
x% of 5.6 kg = 140 gram
⇒ 5600 × x/100 = 140
∴ x = 2.5
