Ques : New forts in India and Pak together are how much percent of the new fort in USA and UK together?

Correct Answer: (d) 50%
Solution:

Old forts in India = ½ × 100 = 50
New forts in India = 100 - 50 = 50

Old forts in Pak = 2/3 × 300 = 200
New forts in Pak = 300 - 200 = 100

Old forts in AUS = 3/4 × 400 = 300
New forts in AUS = 400 - 300 = 100

Old forts in USA = 2/3 × 600 = 400
New forts in USA = 600 - 400 = 200

Old forts in UK = 7/8 × 800 = 700
New forts in UK = 800 - 700 = 100

New forts in India and Pak are 50 and 100 respectively.
New forts in USA and UK are 200 and 100 respectively.
Required percentage = (100 + 50)/(200 + 100) × 100
= 150/300 × 100 = 50%

222. If in AUS name of 30% of the old forts start with A, name of 40% of the new forts start with A then find total how many fort’s name does not start with A.

Correct Answer: (e) 270
Solution:

Old and new forts in AUS are 300 and 100 respectively.
Old forts name that does not starts with A = (100 - 30)% of 300 = (7/10) × 300 = 210
New forts name that does not starts with A = (100 - 40)% of 100 = (6/10) × 100 = 60
Total fort's name that does not starts with A = 210 + 60 = 270

223. What is the average of the total forts in all the countries together?

Correct Answer: (a) 440
Solution:Total forts in India, Pak, AUS, USA and UK are 100, 300, 400, 600 and 800 respectively.
Required average = (100 + 300 + 400 + 600 + 800)/5 = 2200/5 = 440

224. Ratio of old forts in USA that requires renovation to old forts in USA that does not requires renovation is 3:1 respectively. Then find old forts in USA that requires renovation are how much more or less than the new forts in the same country?

Correct Answer: (c) 100
Solution:Old forts in USA = 400
Old forts in USA in which renovation is required = ¾ × 400 = 300
New forts in USA = 200
Required difference = 300 - 200 = 100

225. What is the ratio of the old forts in India and Pak together to new forts in AUS and UK together respectively?

Correct Answer: (d) 5:4
Solution:

Old forts in India and Pak are 50 and 200 respectively.
New forts in AUS and UK are 100 and 100 respectively.
Required ratio = (50 + 200) : (100 + 100)
= 250 : 200 = 5 : 4

226. Directions [226-230]: Read the data carefully and answer the following questions.

Line graph given below shows the fare per passenger (in Rs.) and total number of passengers in five buses.

Note: Total fare = Fare per passenger * Total number of passengers

Ques : Total fare collected from bus 4 is what fraction of total fare collected from bus 5?

Correct Answer: (a) 5/18
Solution:

Buses

Fare per passenger (in Rs.)

Total number of passengers

Total fare (in Rs.)

Bus 1

45

20

45 × 20 = 900

Bus 2

25

60

25 × 60 = 1500

Bus 3

35

40

35 × 40 = 1400

Bus 4

50

25

50 × 25 = 1250

Bus 5

60

75

60 × 75 = 4500

Total fare collected from bus 4 = Rs. 1250
Total fare collected from bus 5 = Rs. 4500
Required fraction = 1250/4500 = 5/18

227. What is the average of number of passengers in bus 2 and that in bus 5?

Correct Answer: (e) 67.5
Solution:

Number of passengers in Bus 2 = 60
Number of passengers in Bus 5 = 75
Required average = (60 + 75)/2 = 67.5

228. If ratio of male to female passengers in the bus 1 is 3:2 and fare per female passenger in that bus is Rs. 36, then find the fare per male passenger in bus 1.

Correct Answer: (d) Rs. 51
Solution:Total male passengers in bus 1 = 20 × (3/5) = 12
Total female passengers in bus 1 = 20 - 12 = 8
Let fare per male passenger in bus 1 = ‘x’ rupees
12x + 8 × 36 = 900
12x = 612
x = 51
Hence, fare per male passenger in bus 1 = Rs. 51

229. What is the difference between total fare collected from bus 3 and that from bus 4?

Correct Answer: (e) Rs. 150
Solution:Total fare collected from Bus 3 = 1400
Total fare collected from Bus 4 = 1250
Difference between total fare collected from bus 3 and bus 4 = 1400 - 1250 = Rs. 150

230. If in bus 6, total number of passengers is 5 more than that in bus 3 and fare per passenger is Rs. 32, then find the total fare collected from bus 6.

Correct Answer: (b) Rs. 1440
Solution:Number of passengers in bus 6 = 40 + 5 = 45
Total fare collected from bus 6 = 45 × 32 = Rs. 1440
