Question:
The number of females in city A is approximately what percent more or less than the number of males in city E?
  • 30%
  • 45%
  • 66.66%
  • 35%
  • 33.33%

 

Alternate Method

Given:

Name of the City

Total number of Population

Percentage of female

A

32000

50%

E

40000

40%

 

Formula Used:

Decreased percentage = {(Decreased value)/(Base value)} × 100

Calculation:

The number of females in city A = 50% of 32000

⇒ (50/100) × 32000

⇒ 32000/2

⇒ 16000

The percentage of males in city E = (100 - 40)%

⇒ 60%

Total number of males in city E = 60% of 40000

⇒ (60/100) × 40000

⇒ 60 × 400

⇒ 24000

The required decreased value = 24000 - 16000

⇒ 8000

The required decreased percentage = (8000/24000) × 100

⇒ 100/3

⇒ 33.33%

∴ The number of females in city A is approximately 33.33% less than the number of males in city E.

Calculation:

The percentage of males in city A = (100 - 50)%

⇒ 50%

Total number of males in city A = 50% of 32000

⇒ (50/100) × 32000

⇒ 32000/2

⇒ 16000

The percentage of males in city D = (100 - 60)%

⇒ 40%

Total number of males in city D = 40% of 50000

⇒ (40/100) × 50000

⇒ 40 × 500

⇒ 20000

Total number of males in city A and D together = 16000 + 20000

⇒ 36000

Total number of females in city B = 52% of 64000

⇒ (52/100) × 64000

⇒ 52 × 640

⇒ 33280

Total number of females in city F = 45% of 45000

⇒ (45/100) × 45000

⇒ 45 × 450

⇒ 20250

Total number of females in city B and F together = 33280 + 20250

⇒ 53530

The required difference = 53530 - 36000

⇒ 17530

∴ The difference between the number of males in cities A and D together and the number of females in cities B and F together will be 17530.

Question:
What is the average number of males in cities B, E and F together?
  • 19000
  • 19725
  • 26490
  • 28950
  • 26000

 

Since population are in thousands we can ignore last three zeros to simplify the calculation

⇒ Average = (64 × (100 - 52)% + 40 × (100 - 40)%  + 45 × (100 - 45)%)/3

⇒ Average = (64 × 48% + 40 × 60%  + 45 × 55%)/3

⇒ Average = (64 × 16% + 40 × 20%  + 15 × 55%)

⇒ Average = (64 × 16 + 40 × 20  + 15 × 55)/100     (%→ 1/100)

⇒ Average = (1024 + 800 + 825)/100

⇒ Average = (2649)/100

Since we ignored zeros at last we need to multiply with 3 zeros

∴ Required Average =  26490

Calculation:

The percentage of males in city B = (100 - 52)%

⇒ 48%

Total number of males in city B = 48% of 64000

⇒ (48/100) × 64000

⇒ 48 × 640

⇒ 30720

The percentage of males in city E = (100 - 40)%

⇒ 60%

Total number of males in city E = 60% of 40000

⇒ (60/100) × 40000

⇒ 60 × 400

⇒ 24000

The percentage of males in city F = (100 - 45)%

⇒ 55%

Total number of males in city F = 55% of 45000

⇒ (55/100) × 45000

⇒ 55 × 450

⇒ 24750

Total number of male in cities B, E and F together = 30720 + 24000 + 24750

⇒ 79470

The required average = 79470/3

⇒ 26490

∴ The average number of males in cities B, E, and F together will be 26490.

10. The radius of the circle is 13 cm more than the breadth of a rectangle. The area of the circle is 3850 sq.cm. The circumference of the circle is equal to the perimeter of a rectangle. The area of the rectangle is equal to the area of a square. Find the perimeter of a square.
  • 352 cm
  • 164 cm
  • 176 cm
  • 188 cm
  • 196 cm

(Radius of circle)2 = 3850 × (1/ π)

Radius of a circle = 35 cm

Breadth of a rectangle = 35 – 13 = 22 cm

Circumference of a circle = 2π × 35 = 220 cm

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

Length of a rectangle = (220/2) – 22 = 88 cm

Area of square = length × breadth = 88 × 22 = 1936 sq.cm

Side of a square = (1936)1/2

Side of a square = 44 cm Perimeter of a square = 4 × 44 = 176 cm

11. Total age of 12 students in a class is 120 years. Two students of average age 8 years left the class and 5 new students of average age 11 years joined the same class. Find the new approximate average age of class.
  • 13 years
  • 12 years
  • 10 years
  • 8 years
  • 7 years

Given:

Total age of 12 students = 120 years

Total age of two students who left class = 8 × 2 = 16 years

Total age of 5 students who joined class = 5 × 11 = 55 years

Total age of (12 - 2 + 5 = 15) students of a class = 120 - 16 + 55 = 159 years

∴ Required average = 159/15 = 10.6 years ≈ 10 years

12. A goods train started from P to Q at a speed of 54 kmph. After 10 hours, a passenger train started from Q to P at a speed of 63 kmph. Two trains will meet when passenger train travels 252 km from point Q. Find the distance between the city P and Q.
  • 128 km 
  • 768 km
  • 1008 km
  • 960 km
  • 458 km

GIVEN :

Speed of goods train = 54 kmph

Speed of passenger train = 63 kmph

Distance covered by goods trains in 10 hours = 54 × 10 = 540 km

 

CALCULATION :

Let the distance between the P and Q be M km.

Remaining distance to cover for goods trains = M - 540

Relative speed = 54 + 63 = 117 kmph

Two trains meet = 252 km from Q

Then,

⇒ (M - 540)/117 × 63 = 252

⇒ M - 540 = 468

⇒ M = 1008 The distance between the P and Q is 1008 km.
