192. What percent more time does Piyush spends in office than on sleeping?

Correct Answer: (a) 16.66%
Solution:

Difference b/w the time spent in Office & Sleeping is = 8.4 - 7.2 = 1.2 hrs
Extra time spent by Piyush in Office = (1.2/7.2) × 100 = 16.66%

Correct Answer: (c) 13.5%
Solution:

Piyush spends 10% of his time in office on eating
= 10% of 8.4 hrs = 0.84 hrs
Total time spent by Piyush on eating = 2.4 + 0.84 = 3.24
Required Percentage = (3.24/24) × 100 = 13.5%

194. If on weekends (Sat and Sun), Piyush spends 50% of his time on sleeping, 30% on internet & TV and remaining on eating & sports, then what is the difference between the total amount of time spent in eating & sports in the whole week and the time spent on internet & TV on weekends (in hrs)?

Correct Answer: (d) 17.2

During Weekends, Time Breakup of Piyush is as follows:
Amount of time spent by Piyush on Eating & Sports on Weekdays = 4.4 × 5 = 22 hrs
Amount of time spent by Piyush on Eating & Sports on Weekends = 4.8 × 2 = 9.6
Amount of time spent by Piyush on Internet & TV on Weekends = 7.2 × 2 = 14.4

196. Directions [196-200]: Read the data carefully and answer the following questions.

The bar graph given below shows the number of tickets sold by two waterparks- A and B on five days of a particular week.

Note: Total number of tickets sold on any day = Number of tickets sold by waterpark A + Number of tickets sold by waterpark B

Ques : The number of tickets sold by waterpark B increased by what percent from Tuesday to Saturday?

Correct Answer: (c) 33.33%
Solution:

For Tuesday:
Number of tickets sold by waterpark A = 340
Number of tickets sold by waterpark B = 270
Hence, total number of tickets sold by waterparks A and B together = (340 + 270) = 610
Similarly, we calculate the values for other days and tabulate them.

Number of tickets sold by waterpark B on Tuesday = 270
Number of tickets sold by waterpark B on Saturday = 360
Hence, % increase = [(360 - 270)/270] × 100 = 33.33%

197. What is the difference between the average number of tickets sold by waterpark A on Wednesday and Friday together and the average number of tickets sold by waterpark B on Thursday and Saturday together?

Correct Answer: (a) 10
Solution:

Average number of tickets sold by waterpark A on Wednesday and Friday together = (220 + 310)/2 = 265
Average number of tickets sold by waterpark B on Thursday and Saturday together = (190 + 360)/2 = 275
Hence, required difference = (275 - 265) = 10

198. If the total number of tickets sold on Monday is 81.25% of that on Saturday, and the ratio of the number of tickets sold by waterpark A to that by waterpark B on Monday is 3:2 respectively, find the number of tickets sold by waterpark B on Monday.

Correct Answer: (e) None of these
Solution:

Total number of tickets sold on Saturday = 800
Hence, total number of tickets sold on Monday = (13/16) × 800 = 650
Ratio of the number of tickets sold by waterpark A to that by waterpark B on Monday = 3 : 2
Therefore, number of tickets sold by waterpark B on Monday = (2/5) × 650 = 260

199. If 30% and 40% of the total number of tickets sold on Tuesday and Thursday respectively was sold to children, find the total number of tickets sold to children on Tuesday and Thursday together.

Correct Answer: (d) 371
Solution:

Total number of tickets on Tuesday = 610
Total number of tickets sold on Thursday = 470
Number of tickets sold to children on Tuesday = (3/10) × 610 = 183
Number of tickets sold to children on Thursday = (2/5) × 470 = 188
Hence, total number of tickets sold to children on Tuesday and Thursday together = (183 + 188) = 371

200. Find the ratio of the total number of tickets sold by waterpark A on Thursday and Saturday together to the total number of tickets sold on Tuesday and Thursday together respectively.

Correct Answer: (c) 2:3
Solution:

Total number of tickets sold by waterpark A on Thursday and Saturday together = (280 + 440) = 720
Total number of tickets sold on Tuesday and Thursday together = (610 + 470) = 1080
Hence, required ratio = 720 : 1080 = 2 : 3
