Failed in both=5% of 60=3 Original weight of water = x – (x/4) = 3x/4
Passed in both=20% of 60=12 Now when some water removed, new weight of bucket
Passed in reasoning=50% of 60=24 with remaining water = (50/100) * x = x/2
Those passed only in reasoning =24-12=12 students. So new weight of water = new weight of bucket with

Assume Total no of students = 100 So part of water removed = [(3x/4) – (x/4)]/(3x/4)=2/3
60% of the students are boys. so Boys=60,Girls=40 7. A

girls = 80% of 40 = 32. The monthly income of Santhosh and Vignesh = 62500
No. of students who scored more than 40 marks = 60% S + V = 62500

Therefore No. of boys who scored more than 40 marks = New income of V = New income of S + 1375
60-32=28 V’s new income = (62500 – x)*115/100
No. of boys who scored less= Total boys – Boys(scored S’s new income = x * 120/100

(7187500 – 115x) = (120x + 137500)
7187500 – 137500 = 115x + 120x
7050000 = 235x
Santhosh’s income X = (7050000/235) = 30000

then 30 men are greater than 50 years of age. = > x = 29420*(5000/1471)
Number of men above 50 years who play football = 20% => x = 100000

20% of all men play football means total no. of men who 11. B
play football = 20, out of which 6 men are above 50 Let the income of Guru and Vinothini be G and V,
years old. The monthly income of Guru and Vinothini = 52200
So, 20 – 6 = 14 men are less than or equal to 50 years G + V = 32000
old. Guru’s income = x; Vinothini’s income = 52,200 – x
Therefore, percentage of football players less than or New income of V = New income of G + 2784
equal to 50 years = (14/20)*100 = 70% V’s new income = (52200 – x)*112/100
9. B G’s new income = x * 120/100
Let initial Cost of fresh, oranges = 100. (52200 – x)* (112/100) = x * (120/100) + 2784
packaging cost = 20. Initial total cost = 100 + 20 = 120 (5846400 – 112x)/100 = (120x/100) + 2784
After increasing in cost of fresh mangoes 30%, (5846400 – 112x)/100 = (120x + 278400)/100
Cost of fresh mangoes = 130 (5846400 – 112x) = (120x + 278400)
And cost of packing go down by 50 % so, 5846400 – 278400 = 112x + 120x
Cost of packing = 10. 5568000 = 232x
Total cost = 130 + 10 = 140. Guru’s income X = (5568000/232) = 24000
Increased cost = 140 – 120 = 20. Vinothini’s income = 52200 – x = 28200

Let us take 2600 as A’s part. Next year votes against the KBC party increase by 25%

Pis produced by mixing chemical C and chemical H in = 5/9* 3/4 + 4/9* 2/3

Hence, 5/9th of product P is chemical C and 4/9th of The final product is obtained by mixing 864 units of
product P is chemical H product P with water
Chemical C has Cs1 and C2 in the ratio 1: 3 In 864 units of Product P, amount of C2 = 864 * 77/108
so, 3/4th of C is C2 = 616
Therefore, fraction of C2 in product P from chemical C = In the final mixture, concentration of C2 is 50%.
5/9 * 3/4 Therefore, the total quantity of final mixture = 616 * 2 =
Chemical H has C2 and H1 in the ratio 2: 1 1232
so, 2/3rd of H is C2 Water added = 1232 – 864 = 368
Therefore, fraction of C2 in product P from chemical H = 18. C
